Spiritually, I am attending my first BitSummit!!! Unfortunately though, physically, I am recovering from back surgery in bed.

I feel like I’m goin through the stages of grief about the games industry every day rn

I think diet coke cherry and diet coke lime coming to Australia would fix me

thinking “would a normal person bother to talk about this in the first place” has saved me so many times from contributing to utterly stupid discourses. highly recommend it

my legacy is going to be "she got the big games outlets to write Aotearoa New Zealand" and "she got the gamers to think about how it's winter in the southern hemisphere in June, haha" and I am okay with that

Our last slide:

The ANZ-focused showcase is back

As a fan, I am excited to see Haunted Chocolatier news! As a games industry person, I am not stoked to see: "He said that he’s now trying to work on Haunted Chocolatier five days a week and spending the other two on Stardew Valley." We gotta rest, man

Kia ora BitSummit! 🥝🎮🛫 10 of NZ's latest indie games coming to BitSummit PUNCH! NZ CODE has brought together 10 of Aotearoa New Zealand's latest indie games to showcase at 2026 BitSummit PUNCH!, Kyoto: 22 - 24 May 2026. www.nz-code.nz/post/10-of-n...

video games require players to buy into an ecosystem before they try “a game”, unlike a film or book — outside mobile —& that means that the perception of what the ecosystem is drives the capacity of games to grow their audiences, & most people only ever hear about AAA which is so narrow in appeal

frosty games fest is back wooo

May Update: There was one (1) more ANZ games marketing job listed in the past month. It was a repeat listing (I'm pretty sure) from EA. It's hard not to be incredibly disheartened by this!!!

Thrilled to once again be partnering with Summer Game Fest to expand the global reach of more ANZ made games, cannot wait for you to see the incredible showcase we have in the works on June 7! 📅💞

The only thing I care to add to the discourse about Mixtape is that was the fucking coolest press kit I’ve seen in like years at this point

new zealander everlee wihongi was due to meet with her lawyer yesterday. then ICE moved her to their most notorious tent facility in texas: 3000 people, highest death rate, most sexual assaults. and today, she disappeared off the system. please RT: www.webworm.co/everleehasdi...

I think every employee at Beethoven and Dinosaur should be given a state funded 8 week holiday with complimentary cocktails and no internet access

I had to have unplanned back surgery this week (sorry if I owe you an email it’s coming!!!) but at least I get to enjoy Mixtape while I recover!

Never let anyone talk you out of a quick 2 day game jam. Those 4 months will be the best 3 years spent releasing a commercial game of your life

We seriously should treat sports betting ads like cigarette ads: ban them.

agdas 2026 nominations (inc. for judging) are now open!! submit your games!!
