The Cozy Caravan soundtrack is coming out on the 8th (along with the full release of the game)! It will be available on Steam and Bandcamp for purchase, but if you're keen to stream it, you can pre-save it here: ditto.fm/cozy-caravan...

I am on the lookout for a contract games designer for paid work. Preferably with experience in Unreal and at least 1 shipped game (due to the responsibilities). Remote Australia, VIC preference but not required. Send them my way for a chat!

The game I’m making vs what I hear when making it #indiegame #gamedev

Anaconda was stupid fun. Take your brain off the hook, forget about *everything going on* and just go and laugh. www.imdb.com/title/tt3324...

Oh to have the blind confidence of all the folks who decided a busy Sunday morning at the shopping centre was the time to learn how to reverse park for the first time.

Happy New Year friends! A quick reminder that I'm going to be running THREE pitch workshops for NSW Game Developers this year, and they're absolutely FREE. Details below:

I'm coming up on 40 years in the games industry, and I think we can all be grateful that I've not done the stereotypical middle aged man thing of starting a podcast. If you'd like this blissful radio silence to continue, then you can help by engaging me in 2026 and becoming a new client.

Pickles and I both enjoyed the Mario Kart LEGO set, but for entirely different reasons.

Spent a bit of time reworking the walkable ropes to make them fully dynamic! Feels way better and much more responsive. #indiegame #gamedev

Pickles subscribes to the mantra "If I fits, I sits".

Christmas Eve viewing. Wes Anderson is always stylish, but it probably needs a few more viewings before I know what the hell is going on. Also, Benicio del Toro with a beard looks like Post Malone. Good luck unseeing that. www.imdb.com/title/tt3084...

Pickles says it's the most magical time of the year.

#Devmas with #Adaptory - Day 11 We have high hopes for 2026 and everything Adaptory can be - we can’t wait to share the #earlyaccess release with y’all, and our plans for awesome updates further down the line. #indiegame #basebuilding #simulationgames #2026

Aaaaand not for the first time I've ended up signing a contract for some work in the New Year on the last working day of the current year.

We're already at the second to last day of the 12 Days of Devmas! 🎄 Today, the prompt asked us to look forward to our 2026 plans. This was an easy answer! Does releasing Beyond These Stars in Early Access in 2026 sound like a good plan to you?! We think so! 😍

There have been loads of great games released this year. But y'know what? I've decided to revisit Watch Dogs: Legion on PS5. I had so much fun with it first time, which seems to put me in the minority. And 2nd playthrough is 🎉 Play games your enjoy folks! www.playstation.com/en-au/games/...

Day Ten of Devmas has arrived! 🎄 Today we're tasked to share a 2025 recap! So here's a peek at how the year went over at the Balancing Monkey Games Studio ✨

If you are vaguely familiar with Yarn Spinner and want to help me test some new Try Yarn Spinner stuff over the holiday season (requirement: regular non-phone computer with a browser), and give whatever feedback you have time for, please DM me! <3

Sometimes the games industry is hard, gruelling, and unforgiving. But then there are days like today, where folks come together in support of others. And these are the days that make it all worthwhile. 😺

Hey @riley.sbug.games I think you've started a trend of kids spruiking their parents games.

A game where you can turn into a bucket (among other things) #TeaseYaGame #indiegame #gamedev

It's the fifth day of the 12 Days of Devmas! 🎄 Today, we've been asked to showcase Dev Doodles, also known as Concept Art 🎨 We have such talented artists on our team, don't you think?

DREDGE continues to be a magnet for awards. Quite rightly tbh.

Sew weave always thought the sounds of crafting are to dye for.

That's ALMOST every State and Territory in Australia supporting games with grants of some form. Good job ACT. screencanberra.com.au/media-releas...
