Hello I will be at BitSummit next week quietly spruiking the new (weird) thing we're working on. I would love to hang out 🍻 do business 🤝 make friends 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Please lmk if you will be there too!

New Elden Ring boss just dropped 👁🩸💅

imagine writing an article about disproportionate geographical adhd diagnoses and not considering hipster artist adhd freaks move to brunswick because they like it there

dont tell laid-off peeps to just go indie unless you 🫵 are ready to pay them the money to do so

As someone who went on the Internet for the first time in the early 90’s, I fucking loved the Internet. It has given so many things in life, and afforded me so many incredible experiences. And to see it, and technology in general where they are today is kinda soul crushing.

For Dosa Divas and Thirsty Suitors, we built a custom tool in Unity to layout the flow and structure of the game based on gameplay and story beats. It helps us keep track of all the various scenes, run the game at specific points and speeds up iteration. store.steampowered.com/app/2950710/...

I would suggest this is a more valuable Steam chart, from SteamDB. Releases dramatically grow each year but the number of new games getting more than 500 user reviews does not. steamdb.info/stats/releas...

Heartbreaking news. There's lots of discourse on the festival's identity, ethics of volunteering and scale I largely agree with- but I just want to thank Freeplay for having me as a judge & awards chair in the past. I felt a part of community and built skills & confidence I still utilise to this day

Hello I guess it's a new year already Last year: ✨️ announced a game studio (@intarsia.studio) ✨️ did multiple cycles of IVF ✨️ moved house ✨️ shipped a game (Mushka on Board.fun) & last but not least! ✨️ gave birth to my first born child (we are both happy & healthy) Bring on '26 💪

I truly think the Games Industry would be in a much better place, creatively, if everyone had more exposure to DOS Shareware games.

made a playable zine for FREAKON that incorporates a whole heap of stories of how games media helped feed our community

My favourite event of MIGW is back 🤩

I think that as an indie game dev without a large publisher, your target audience is not gamers in general, it is sickos. It's hardcore sickos that will be diving the depths of your genre and finding your game, and it is sickos who will be spreading it. Please the passionate, not the masses.

DŘACULES̗TI IS OFFICIALLY FUNDED! WE MADE IT! we will make a more elegant and on-theme post when it isn't 3am Australian Eastern Time but thank you so much for getting us here, it's a thrill and an honour and a relief.

Howdy friends! I’ll have some capacity for extra work in the near future if any folk are in need of a little games marketing gremlin ✨ I’ll have more specifics soon but am also keen to just get a cuppa with folk/chat about games/chat about Dragon Age, my cats, the new Hunger Games novel etc etc ☕

When you're at a point where there's just no way your action game based on a world-famous billion-dollar box office super hero character can realistically be financially viable you have to ask what the games industry is doing, man.
