Excited to get back on the horse and had a great chat with the Bang Bang Bang team for this. Content *should* start dropping tomorrow...

We're excited to share that Made In Australia is back for 2026, and we're kicking it off by checking out Brisbane's Bang Bang Bang Interactive and its debut game @lonepinegame.bsky.social

🚨 One week to go! 🚨 The Lone Pine demo is dropping on the 24th of this month at 8am PT! #indiegames

Good news everyone! For various reasons beyond our control, we can no longer update our Substack newsletter or even close our account, so we're posting Devlogs directly to our website. You can read our latest updates at the link below!

We're so excited to share that our demo is coming out later this month!! 🥳

It might not be related to Steam Next Fest, but we have an exciting announcement coming next week. Stay tuned! 👀

Izzie why you gotta make a weird face like that when you're trash diving 😭 Jk I gave her that face 😈 #indiegame #indiegamedev

The point-and-click genre continues to flourish, and 2026 is shaping up to be another cracking year for adventure fans

That feeling when you have an achievable game demo roadmap ahead of you 😌 Just don't anyone jinx it 😂

Dear adventure game fans, We are an Aussie indie studio, and we're making a game where you explore a spooky national park and try to photograph cryptids. 📸 You can support us by sharing or wishlisting! 🌟 #indiedev #indiegames #madeingodot

We’re so excited for 2026, and what better way to start the year than by being included in a killer lineup of adventure games?

There’s a list of games that influence us: Firewatch, Oxenfree, Monkey Island. But the main ideas came from a long-form article about snow leopards. And shows like Gravity Falls and Twin Peaks. Indies shouldn’t just find inspo in other games! All of it helps shape Lone Pine. 🌲 #wishlistwednesday

Why am I recording Izzie lines while simultaneously playing chubby bunny? 🐰 You'll have to play the Lone Pine demo next year to find out! 👀 #indiegame #indiegamedev #gameaudio

@flippingbits.bsky.social (Dan) is the latest member of our DIY VO club 😎 To hear who he voices, stay tuned for the Lone Pine demo, hitting Steam in early 2026! 🌲 #indiegame #indiegamedev #gameaudio

And that’s a wrap! Huge week for the team at MIGW 🥳🎉 I’m equal parts ready to sleep for a week and do a big LP push 😅 Showcases are a lot of work, but seeing the excitement from your playtesters firsthand is worth all the effort 🥹 Huge thanks to everyone that stopped by! #migw #paxaus #gamedev

PAX Aus is fast approaching! Last year I posted a thread of tips and advice for indies exhibiting at the show on the site formally known as Twitter. Here's an updated and expanded thread for this year (settle in, its a long one) 😀 #pax #paxaus #indiedev #gamedev @paxaus.bsky.social

Here's a quick little snippet from our new scene in progress, High Ridge Lookout! There's still lots to do, but can't wait to get Izzie exploring the scene and solving those puzzles 😎 #gamemusic #gameaudio #procreate #indiedev

So excited for upcoming news on Dungeon Pizza!! Give their account a follow! 🐱🍕⚔️

So excited that Catto has released! I played it last year at Qld Games Fest and it filled me with so much joy 🐱💖 It's on sale on Steam now, and the price to warm-and-fuzzy ratio is off the charts!! If this is your jam you'd be crazy not to pick it up!! 🙂‍↕️

Confirmation that Izzie has no friends 😅 Sorry Izzie, but it was very hilarious giving you that thousand-yard stare 😆 #indiegamedev #gameanimation #spine2d

Super stoked to see Bravest Coconut getting the support and love it deserves!! 🌟 Keen as a bean to see more!! 🎉

I’m excited to play this! 🙂‍↕️

Hide your cryptids, because Izzie's creepin' 👀 #indiegamedev #gameanimation #spine2d

I love public transport vibes 💚

"Can Izzie kick the cable car?" Yes... yes she can 😎 Creating silly moments like this one is why I love making games 😂 #indiegamedev #madewithgodot #gameanimation #spine2d #godot

Check it out! We had a nice write-up on @aghotspot.bsky.social 😱 adventuregamehotspot.com/announcement...

When do you know when you've finished a piece? 🤔 Usually I have a pretty good idea of when I'm ready to step away, but The Ranger theme really stumped me. I'm sure I'll still get caught up in making some more changes, but I'm hoping sharing my imperfect work helps me move forward 😅 🎶 #gamemusic

🥳 Stoked for the support that Lone Pine has been receiving! 🌲The team have charted the course for our next milestone—our Steam demo! Can’t wait to share more content from the game soon 🎉

Rodent Rollers is such a fun time!! 🤩 Can’t wait to see more from this studio! 🐀🧀🏁

We had an absolute blast showcasing Lone Pine at the QLD Games Fest this year! As part of the event, Lachie and I represented the team and took part in a podcast-style interview with the amazing Zed Games! 🎤✨ www.youtube.com/live/9vS_i-F... #indiegamedev #indiedev
