Hello, I forgot to make a Valentine's day post so just imagine a gif of red hearts coming out of pipes instead of shapes ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This was an awesome event - we had way more people than computers so we will definitely try run something like this again! Thanks so much to everyone that turned up ⭐️🟡🟧

It's been 6 months since I struck out on my own to be come a studio director and it's about time I did a talk about it! 🫖 Wellington devs: come see me ramble next Tuesday at 6pm! www.meetup.com/game-develop...

TONIGHT. SIX PM. RESPAWN.

Milestone update: we're having our first in-person public playtest of the game at our local Internet cafe! Alongside some other Wellington devs, we're inviting the public to come play our games 🤩 nerve-wracking but super exciting!! Come play and chat! ⭐🟡🟧

2026 is gonna be rad as hell for ANZ games! Check it out 🤩 maybe you'll find something that's made closer to home than you expected!

Speaking at Parallels was a highlight of 2025 for me - so here's a little love letter to some on-stage @free-play.bsky.social antics💌⭐🟧🟡 vibes like this couldn't happen anywhere else! youtube.com/shorts/fMJ1P...

#DEVMAS December 19th - BEST PLACEHOLDER I figured WORST PLACEHOLDER could still be valid, so I'd like to resurrect evil Sendy - the placeholder for the animation system that I put together to test things out #indiegames

by the way, if you want to experiment with your own gifs, you can do so in the Steam Demo here! store.steampowered.com/app/2976470

Okay today's #DEVMAS Easter Egg is a BANGER - check out one of the ✨Secrets of the Sounds of the Shapes✨ in Shape Sender Deluxe! #indiegames #sounddesign

Today's #DEVMAS is about looping gifs, which is the EASIEST possible prompt for us because Shape Sender Deluxe already has a perfectly looping gif export!

I think today is a great day to join in on 12 days of #DEVMAS because today we're celebrating the beauty of CONCEPT ART (plus "Best Placeholder" on the 20th) so come join in! For us, I wanted to share some of @grubkiss.bsky.social's early Sendy concepts - imagine if Sendy was a triangle???

showing a trailer at the Game Awards is free but it costs anywhere from $450,000 to a cool $1 million to post it on BlueSky - anyway, here's the old Shape Sender Deluxe trailer ⭐ #indiegames
