Thanks to @ubisoftanz.bsky.social we're live with #anno117 - glory to the holy roman empire! #ubisoftPartner #ubisoftANZCreators

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

My surface laptop go was starting to get real slow. I installed arch Linux and lo! Battery life and responsiveness in KDE is amazing. The Linux surface community is really helpful. Also its fun to have a Windows laptop running Linux 😂

Today from the dump, I scored this "Mattel Version" NES and these games? Two controllers and a "zapper". Don't know if light guns work on modern TV's 😂

(PLEASE REPOST!) Reviewers, journalists, content creators, YouTubers, podcasters, bloggers, and TTRPG people of all kinds : WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! This month we're sending out the press preview version of GALLOWS CORNER - A PEASANTS' REVOLT RPG, and we want to add you to our media distro list!

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE SECOND INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE OVER ZOOM TO MEET MORE OF THE TEAM UNFORTUNATELY, YOU HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL ON THIS OCCASION, BUT WE HOPE YOU'LL APPLY FOR FUTURE POSITIONS WITH THE VAMPIRE

@merryh.bsky.social is everything I aspire to be - a seemingly functional adult championing the ANZ indie game scene, in the back end like some form of babel fish for developers. Full of confidence, pep, and love for their fellow devs. Local dev? go check out

Hello yes, if you are looking for a mobile puzzle game that you can pick up and put down and it has no predatory adverts and it's free, you need to play this number popper. My butt is numb from playing too long on the toilet. owlnewworlds.games

Mark your calendars as Mike Pondsmith joins us on a special episode of REDstreams this Thursday! If you ever wondered what inspired Mike to create Cyberpunk 2013 and 2020, what was his reaction to Keanu as Johnny Silverhand or what it's like to be Maximum Mike, you can't miss this stream.

Jennifer Lawrence apologising for being human in her early career irks me. That was what made her different, just a regular gritty human who happens to be an actor, I enjoyed her performances more because of it. Each to their own, but I like my humans natural, raw, and flawed.

Happy The Séance of Blake Manor release day! @spookydoorway.bsky.social #TheSeanceOfBlakeManor #AdventureGame

I need to see this musical. A literal roller-coaster of emotional sound.

follow the rules

Reposts appreciated!! Thank you so so much 🫶 🔗👇 www.kickstarter.com/projects/cin...

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!! 💖🎉 The nicest thing y'all could do for me (if you're so inclined 😊🫶🏾) is to share + signal boost our growing DnA Codex of Game Dev resources so it finds the folks who need it most Contributions to the Ko-Fi also welcome as they help us devote more time to it amidst our projects!

Hydelic are gods for this soundtrack. It's mixed right in with all my music on my daily play lists, but just Zen out with this game in one night and have a great meditative experience.

A pacifist bullet-hell 👀👀 Game 👉 Key Fairy #keyfairy #paxaus #indiegames @soyoudontneedto.bsky.social

A company with decades of single-player experience pivoting to multiplayer? Well, it worked for Anthem, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, FBC: Firebreak, Redfall, Marvel's Avengers, and all those PlayStation games

This is how it felt this pax. My main focus was indies. I want to showcase them for the next year, but eff me, there's over a hundred of them. Gonna have to make videos every 2 days. The best kind of problem, I'm so happy for the Australian game dev scene.

LMAOOO WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE NEW XBOX HANDHELD COMES WITH MICROSOFT TEAMS AND ONEDRIVE INSTALLED??? this is the fucking goofiest company in games

PAX reinvigorated me so much. I'm renewed; a culmination of the last 2 years of healing. I'm excited for the future, positive about my tribes: my fam, friends, community and geeks in general. Despite how negative things can look, I want to be a fence post of positivity!

Oooh, I am so excited for the new Anno game. I will be doing an Early Access stream of it later this week!! 🔥

Aye, I was happy with both. Even though I'm not a frothing ubi fan, I do love anno, trials, and their smaller projects (hello child of light), I appreciate that both these monoliths do put some measure of assistance to the smaller cogs, and the weekend was better for it.

Meg and her son Lyndon together are the Michael Jordan of covering indies at PAX Aus, a generational family work ethic. Incredible stuff. Commission Meg now, I know from first hand experience that she can write compellingly about any one of these 150 (!!!) games.

That’s a wrap on PAX Aus 2025!!! It’s been a crazy few days showing off the Rita demo and we’re so thankful for the support ❤️ And a further hearty thanks to the eager media and content creators who stopped by! Till next time 😴 🐤

I'm working on an atmospheric RPG called Your Holy & Virtuous Heretic. It's inspired by RPG Maker games from 10 years ago, dungeon crawlers from 30 years ago, and demonology texts from 200-500 years ago! youtu.be/OoBRtHCViSQ?...

Please I want to see unique physical releases again, AAA isn't doing that anymore. A game with a comic attached, or a prop from inside the game, heck, even the good old manual that's also the size of a novella.

This (joco cruise in general) is on my bucket list. I only found out about it this year, another boon of my heavily curated bsky feeds.

@paxaus.bsky.social is done, only the third time ever for me, but easily my favourite so far. I really dialed in on the indies this year, and I have seen so many good ones, asked a load of questions, and will be showcasing as much as I can over the next week and apparently months.

I'm wrecked but I enjoyed delicious Mexican yesterday, and the twitch Afterparty was good fun

A great weekend to share Jeff Bridges making a perfect joke

Friends, I'll tell you this for free: the only reason not to buy a bidet is when you got to conventions, the lack thereof, and subsequent use of pure pulped tree parts will be as sandpaper upon your soft skin. #paxAus #ThisIsWhyImLimpingAlong

Fashy Cinemasins That's what this is, the effect the proliferation of "anti-woke" youtube grifters have had on their audiences as a whole, stunting their ability to engage with media and training them to look for "DEI sins" to call out, atrophying their ability to enjoy the games they're playing.

Since learning that I'm being laid off so many lovely people have offered support, saying "let me know what I can do". So I wrote a zine: Things You Can Do For Your Depressed ADHD/Autistic Friend While She Looks For Work PDF here: bit.ly/TYCDFYDAAFWS... On itch for $0 here: bit.ly/TYCDFYDAAFWS...

There are so many clever industry-related panels on the PAX schedule this year that I've made an index! These are my best picks to help anyone who still wants to throw themselves into the fire. There's a little advice sprinkled in for good measure, but I am by no means the expert.

Folks, I finished an assignment a whole ass week early! The power of going away for a few days (to pax) compelled my ADHD last minute completion to consider today to be last minute, much better than last assignment I submitted a minute too late 😭.

What's the best way to approach indie devs at #paxAus for a couple development / creative questions as both a content creator and someone doing a piece for my uni regarding engineering (c sys) in gaming spaces. My naivete says I'll just pop my rode out and ask away at booths...

📢 PRESS + CREATORS! 🤩 🗡️GIGASWORD by @studiohybrid.bsky.social launchs Nov 13 and we want to give YOU a game key! Battle between brain and brawn in this action-puzzle metroidvania. 🏰 ❗️We're gearing up to send out review keys very soon, so please fill out the form BELOW ⬇️💘

I don't know what part of my brain is responsible - but I love super clean trance beats. Heard this one today and it just tickled that druidic spark, literal eargasm. I'll take similar recommendations from anyone in #psytrace #progpsytrace #trance spaces

18 is just the year you were born as an adult. In 30s, you're hitting the adult teenage years where you start learning who you *really* are and stop being influenced as much. It'll be many aha moments over the next half dozen years and some changes are likely.

You've triggered my trap card.

I've always wanted to play Kingdom hearts, this will be cool to catch up on the story. 😂

This is gonna be a #paxaus highlight for me. I love tetris and the demo was so effin good for this game.

OK, sometimes you just gotta put yourself out there and get on with it 🙂. Wellington Zinefest is today, and I have a stall. Gonna go ahead and put this out there.

This lil fact book is so fun. I must be German, because I quite enjoy this dogging thing.

This is a fun, accessible, lil' story based zachtronics-like I got to stream on release thanks to @astragames.bsky.social. If you enjoy Japanese culture and the rise of their tech brands, this one reminded me of working for Sony and the pride in their history that was often evidenced in office.
