The process of writing our recap post is always such a joy. I really enjoy getting to step back and reflect on what our little team has accomplished!

game development

tbh I’m pretty proud of how much junk I’m jamming onto this half breadboard

thank you algorithm this is precisely what I needed

This embroidery goes HARD I am very stoked to get my hands on some of these

About once a year I get the urge to leave my life behind for Crusader Kings and... it might be that time again

A wild new gameplay trailer has dropped from @australiadidit.gg. Tactical defence meets reverse bullet hell, and a public Steam playtest arrives this December from #MysticForge, @aesthetic.games, and @ramiismail.com. #AustraliaDidIt #IndieGames

Just dropped the second trailer for our upcoming game Australia Did It, this time diving into the gameplay and explaining the cool blend the team blended out of this mix of turn based strategy and bullet heaven game. youtu.be/nHvQ6fCmfkc

Over the weekend I started work on a little digital desktop Pomodoro timer. I'm running a trial of prototype 1 today!

My condolences to the GitHub user who for 15 minutes was furiously trying to figure out why their new SSH key was not working www.githubstatus.com/incidents/1j...

No.

i love that everyone in the industry uses the term friendslop but we all say "friendslop, sorry"

I get on here once a week to read three (3) posts then log off

Only Americans have liked this so far what gives

One for my European followers

Aidan is back in Taiwan which is exactly 12h offset from EST so AeLa is back to being a round-the-clock game studio.

One day I'm going to open Trello and it will just say "Good news! Trello is now Jira!"

Hey Friends! I just shared a breakdown of the VFX and tech-art I worked on for Australia Did It. You can check it out here: www.artstation.com/artwork/P6x1...

playtesting results just came in 😔

It's been a while. Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs. store.steampowered.com/app/2396130/...

I can't share what I worked on yet, but let's just say Rami asked me last minute to join the project, so it was a SPLIT second decision. I FLAPPED around, even though I was working on my MAIN project. Told him I was happy to put this on the MENU. Credit where CREDIT'S due, they did a great job!

So what's funny about the timing of this launch is that we changed our launch date on Steam to Sept 4, to which Steam said "ok but don't do that again" and then approximately 24h later Silksong's release date was announced.

... and it's live! For all you freaks who aren't otherwise predisposed we've got a weird tiny one-button infinite runner just for you and/or your Steam Deck! store.steampowered.com/app/3934200/...

Are Steam purchases working consistently yet? We chose the literal best day to launch a teensy tiny game on Steam.

Max's score for this game is so sick! I'm stoked for y'all to be able to hear it.

totally normal work task list today

AeLa has been working on this for a while now, and it's finally announced!! It has been such a joy and privilege to work with this team and on such a weird little game. I hope y'all like it! 💖

i once walked into a bar in NYC on jan 26 just as a DJ was yelling FUCK AUSTRALIA into a mic, and this feels a lot like that

a whole bunch of very talented people made this game and it looks rad!!

fucked up that you announce a game and then you have to keep working on it

I don't think "Tactical Reverse Bullet Hell" is perfect either but the alternative was "thinky shooty". Thanks to @gameinformer.com for hearing me out about Australia Did It, and for listening to me rant about money people mostly failing to invest in a healthier and more experimental industry.

Excited to finally be able to shout about this! I had the honor to work as the VFX Artist on this game together with the BEST people i met in this industry! Devs: @aesthetic.games Creative Director: @ramiismail.com Art Director: @castpixel.bsky.social Design/Music @smaxophone.bsky.social

Did some small work on this - super excited to see it announced!

Been watching this one evolve over Rami’s shoulder for a while. It’s good shit™️

🚨 Job Posting: Mercenary Needed. 🚂 Cargo delivery is mandatory. Repairs optional. Australia Did It is the Tactical Reverse Bullet Hell: defend, merge, survive the rails. Wishlist now: bit.ly/ADIGame www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHNf...

We’ve been working on this really cool project and we’re so excited it’s announced! Check it out 👇

For a second there I thought I was going to be more active on here and then I kinda forgot about it, whoops!

Shout out to the people who make really cool splash screens for proprietary NDA tools. So few individuals will see your work but know that every time I see it I appreciate it.

AeLa is working on bringing one of our old mobile/web games, Udder, to Steam and I'm super stoked that I can finally play it on Steam Deck!
