📰BIG NEWS! We're creating a games coworking space & investment fund for Melbourne Game Developers! 🤠💸 🧵

I'm looking for concept artists or illustrators working in gamedev who would like to share thoughts or comments (anonymous or attributed) regarding the use of GenAI as a reference tool in their process. If that's you, DM or email me! Details in bio.

I’m so tired ya’ll

I adore the work and advocacy of Larian, and wish it extended to respecting and refining the craft used in *all* of their processes, rather than selectively eroding them with AI--especially because it's those refined processes that have produced the games so many loved over their last three titles.

It was an honour to collate the first games wrap story for ABC this year, check out what @rhunwords.com @geeofdee.bsky.social @nomibelle.bsky.social and more great people loved playing this year. If you need a bit of escapism today have a look at this www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

The next two weeks are going to be thick with the most putrid coverage and discourse we’ve ever had to wade through as a nation. Get the facts and then tune out and log off if you must. You are under no obligation to drink the poison.

You play Mass Effect music and bring out EDI I fear I have been BAITED

Yeah let’s just do all our awards in the preshow why not

A very merry ‘Mass Effect 5 News Maybe? Please? please’ to all those who celebrate

Insane to think how much history has been shoved into these playlists. David has put in so much work to grow the channel, connect with the audience and support the team. He’s an absolute trooper and a powerhouse of knowledge. Whatever project comes next will be blessed to have him involved 🫵🏻

Some work news for next year 🫵 TLDR: GGSP and ABC Gamer are being put on hold for 2026. The team is full steam ahead on our sister show Good Game Spawn Squad (40+ episodes incoming). @rhunwords.com is the GOAT and we couldn’t have done half the cool stuff we’ve done with the channel without him 💖

I took a lot of notes while watching and this one is my favourite

Putting this here as proof of life, but I spoke to some pretty cool people on my podcast this year. @jameswillems.bsky.social @leoniedoesvoices.com @rubyinnes.bsky.social @geeofdee.bsky.social Listen to OPG here: open.spotify.com/show/1n8vjso...

Hi Frosty Friends! We're looking for some more volunteers to help translate subtitles for our upcoming Frosty Mini showcase ☀️ If you're fluent in Japanese, BR-Portuguese, or French and you'd be happy to donate the time week of Dec 1st, please email us! [email protected] 💙

Divas I’m going to Shanghai to give a keynote on games community and how the curator seeks to preserve, represent and celebrate it. Very excited, games are serious and real chinesedigra.org/cdigra-2025/

Ya’ll I just know this is gonna hurt me it’s too cute not to suddenly turn emotional but here I am laying myself upon the tracks willingly

Super normal thoughts and feelings

That’s PAX Aus Day 2 done for Team Gamer. A massive thank you to @barmearme.bsky.social and everyone in the Kirip Room for their trust — it’s scary having the ABC ask you for an interview and we’re grateful so many First Nations devs stepped up to chat.

The 2 days of no MIGW has induced serious FOMO but I’m making up for it with shenanigans across the next couple of days! Filming for ABC Gamer, getting my rat hands on some indies and playing lots of D&D 💖

Thinking about teamLab Borderless while I stare at spreadsheets that hate me (because I can’t format for damn)

I got some very last minute business cards printed but they’re so deeply boring. Braintrust, is it silly to put some lil stickers on them? (not covering up the useful info ofc)

Getting off a 13 hour flight to find out EA’s been acquired and wondering if I should just start hoarding Mass Effect merch now (there are much larger potential implications to this and most of them *very not good™️ but this is for silly ha-ha and also, 13 hour flight, I cannot feel my legs)

I have done what I came here to do. See my husband, see my wife, see my son and ride a Chocobo (that my family keep on our farm)

I had the incredible opportunity to interview Brenna Lee Mulligan for ABC Gamer and only freaked out once be proud of me. And also give the interview a look! That last part is the important part 💖 youtu.be/_FdcUIvSaUI?...

Last week, @geeofdee.bsky.social sat down with @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social. In 19 short minutes, we cover sharks, Michael Jordan, ambition, success, Gem recommends an insane Australian snack, and they go into business together. Full chat live now on ABC Gamer youtu.be/_FdcUIvSaUI

This week has been huge and it keeps going! Headed to Tokyo for TGS, any mutuals and Aussie mates heading over get ready for a hearty (and consensual) crack tackle 🫵

Cronos is very good and you should play it if you’re not a big baby like me (but also if you’re a big baby like me)

I realise posting this on a Saturday is not ideal, but, hear me out. We are trying very hard to keep Frosty alive, and even grow it into something more helpful for ANZ based devs, long term 🍦

They’ve left the Thalmor on the back foot after preventing the Hunt and the Green Lady’s collapse. Now the quest to save the pillars of reality must begin… 📜 Dragonbreak: An Elder Scrolls Campaign is back live on Twitch, Tuesdays at 7.30pm AEST, starting September 16th!

Gutted I’m gonna miss Freakon this year but I did just order some very ****y merch which I will wear with the upmost pride You can decide what word fits in there you freaks (affectionate) GET UR TICKETS SOON!

New Short! @geeofdee.bsky.social chats to @shannonhobby.bsky.social about the new Stardew Voices mod, the work (and money) that went into making it happen, and the virtue of hiring real actors over AI. youtube.com/shorts/GNwiS...

I had the immense pleasure of going to Indie Symphony 2 a couple of weeks back and talking to some of the legends that helped make it such a bloody magical night 💖 youtube.com/shorts/kNWi8...

Reading the softcore cost of progress PR statement somehow made it worse My heart goes out to everyone impacted, to your families- it’s not fair and no amount of ‘thank you for your work’ platitudes from the ones doing the axing will ever make it sit right

Unabashedly unchill about this tbh

NEW: What went wrong with Dragon Age: The Veilguard? Why was the writing so tonally inconsistent? Why did it feel so shallow? Why were there so few choices? Really, after ten years of turbulence, it was a miracle that anything came out at all. This is the story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

game of the year

Hire me to come chat to people in suits and call them dude

I got all dressed up and wrote POETRY you better watch it 🔫 youtu.be/BbhsaN_2SxE
