Hi all! 🦝 I'm looking for a new position as a game design lead / director! I've been designing games for almost 15 years now (😳) with 6 of those as a lead, on anything from AAA transmedia worlds to experimental indie projects. My website: robin-v.net Please share! (and friends, say hi!) 💜

An update: Unfortunately Freeplay didn’t secure multi-year funding and is potentially looking at its last year of operation. We’re exploring what comes next & want your input. Read our full statement here: www.freeplay.net.au/survey2026 Help us decide our next step here: forms.gle/W4ZSns1bGCX1...

Would love to speak to any regular international GDC attendees who are skipping this year's show (or were going to attend and have now cancelled) due to the current political climate. DMs here or [email protected], thank you!

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!

My kid Tom loves drawing cities, so we made a game where you can draw them like he does! Go play Tom City here -> tomanddad.itch.io/TomCity

NEW VIDEO! The last Scanlines for the year is APPROACHING FAST, and it's a look at Darius Extra for the #megadrive/#genesis, which shows off a neat case of a fan project going legit and filling an ever so unique gap! As well as being a fantastic shmup! #retrogaming www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bAr...

Been making the most of the Xmas/NYE time void by chipping away at my current #pico8 project; a little hex-grid, turn-based strategy game dubbed "Oh Nobles!". Currently have most of the core-gameplay down and a basic dumb-as-bricks AI to play against, so things are coming along nicely!

This year I wrote and released a set of methodologies for measuring the greenhouse gas emissions of videogame making, distributing, playing, etc. (with a lot of help and input) I think they’re pretty neat and provide new pathways to reduce those emissions sustainablegamesalliance.org/standard/

🕛 Final 12 hours of ModDB voting Didn’t expect this at all, but Tiberian Sun Rising made it into the Top 100 Mods of 2025 ❤️ After a long year focused on deep optimisation, it honestly means a lot to know the project still resonates. www.moddb.com/groups/2025-...

Sharpen your swords, steady your nerve, and maybe pack a spare pair of socks, because Scorpion Swamp has officially arrived as the latest DLC gamebook for Fighting Fantasy Classics! Available now for PC, Mac, iOS and Android, via Steam, Google Play and the App Store. #choosewiselyfestival

Thinking about doing more shit like this in my spare time. When I get some.

My job is create problem and then solve it

This is the most Australian thing I have seen all week and it's a mood

Introducing Barrow! A Gardening FPS where your Grandma has opened a portal to a decaying underworld in her cottage town. We were unable to secure funding but I'm excited to share what the team built. bit.ly/43xLiXG 🎮 Pitch Demo 📄 Project History 🖼️ Gallery 🎶 Soundtrack 🫂Team Credits

It doesn't look like much, but I'm pretty happy with my initial attempt at some basic hex-based range-finding/pathing on this new #pico8 project. Still much more to do!

After their homecoming Fed Square gig was cancelled over security fears, Amyl and the Sniffers put $5,000 behind the bar at seven live music venues around Melbourne.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct. That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9nO...

Hey #PitchYaGame, I'm making Crabmeat, a first-person point & click survival horror game where you're a prisoner tasked with crabbing for priceless Southern King Crabs to pay off your debt to the Feudostate. #survivalhorror #horrorgame

It’s true, here’s our exciting news! Dead Static Drive is coming out on NOVEMBER 5TH! This year! Next week, even. Yee—and we cannot stress this enough—haw 🤠 www.deadstaticdrive.com/releases

I'm mostly just mocking up visuals and working out the layout at the moment, but I've started tentative steps towards my next little #pico8 project; an attempt to revisit a board game prototype I made about ten years ago that I originally didn't think would work digitally, but now...

Malys left Early Access today! I’ve learned so much on this project, and been able to do a lot of very hands on work which has been a delight. ❤️ Big love to Summerfall’s brilliant team. To make a game like Malys in 13 months is a wild achievement and you should all be very proud 🕯️🕯️🕯️

Turn based Tower Defense? 🤔 Indeed after the weird twist of Monsters are Coming! Rock and Road let's check out a #pico8 twist on the genre by @foolhardygames.bsky.social! It also got a daily mode for absolute gamers! www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTMC... #indiegame #retrogaming

It’s finally happening… I’m installing Linux

Terra Firma 2 is in Steam Next Fest 🌱 If you like simulation games, then we definitely recommend jumping into the demo and sculpting your own environments! #simulator #sandboxgame #terrafirma2 #nature

I’m working on PROJECT NIRVANA, a prototype for a souls-like inspired by Buddhist mythology and meditation. I’ve been learning Unreal, 2D / 3D art and combat game design from scratch, so THINGS WILL BE SCRAPPY! But I want to start sharing my dev journey, so let's go! (1/3)

Sledge Australia is hiring for the first time in *years*, if you know anyone who would be interested please pass this on (engineering, animation and production roles) careers.sledgehammergames.com/search-resul...

A: What we calling our new wanky overpriced coffee? B: “Orthdox”, sir A: Love it! It sounds strict, traditional, singular. Do we have a slogan? B: Not yet sir A: Ah well, just slap something vaguely relevant on there. Can’t see how we’d fuck this up now… #CafeNarrativeDissonance

Just put out a little update to "The Bridge" as there were a few extra features I thought I could squeeze into my #pico8 cart! You can check it on... Itch; foolhardygames.itch.io/the-bridge Lexaloffle; www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=148...

Decided to grab myself a cheeky Sunday evening beer without paying attention and…

Recently added these carriable dodecahedron shaped objects to the game. They can roll like a ball or sit steady like a cube, cast interesting shadows, and interact with different player powers. Lots of fun things you can do with them!

I have been enjoying a lot of rad #pico8 games lately, but “From Rust to Ash” has been an absolute standout. I also had to share my first successful run as I felt I needed to record this achievement somewhere! 😆

Attention fellow AUSTRALIANS! 🇦🇺 We now have an official petition to parliament to STOP MASTERCARD and VISA from its campaign of censorship, restricting what legal products we can buy. Please sign it now, and if you're not an Aussie, spread the word! www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

It's been a while, but I've still been working on adding new stuff to "The Bridge". There's now an endless mode that scores points for each enemy you take out, so the longer you can survive the more points you get! #pico8 #gamedev

Don't go into the park late at night #gamedev

Some really solid advice here for anyone exhibiting their game at PAX or a similar show. I’ve definitely learnt some of these lessons the hard way in the past 😅

Just got ourselves a new pull quote for the back cover.

My latest game for the Playdate is out now! It's a turn-based tactics game about becoming water fighting champions. It's silly and whimsical, and hopefully a good time to boot.

I just want to share games I think are cool. I've been sharing single games recently with friends and colleagues as I find them. I was asked why I didn't have some kind of feed they could subscribe to. Not having a good answer as to why not, I made game pile. open.substack.com/pub/gamepile...
