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/...

Real surreal to see my studio in a GD piece. www.gamedeveloper.com/business/wha...

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...

Organising a weekend away at a beachside hut in the middle of winter seemed like a real risky proposition and I was fully prepared to huddle inside the entire time if necessary. But we somehow lucked into some incredible weather!

I am once again requesting that if you are an indie headed to Pax Aus to exhibit at riding, please send me an email. I will be creating shorts on the games that are attending and will be giving the shorts to developers so that they can use them on their social media. They will also be appearing on

And here's the Trawler in-engine. It just needs some scuffs now. #godot #blender #solodev #gamedev

When you finish cleaning the game in our cozy cleaning sim, you get a score! This was not a good score :( #cozygame #unity #gamedev

Been making a whole bunch of invisible progress on this! Shop is fully fonctionnal and the game now supports destroying cards! ✂️ I hope you're all getting ready to delve into the Flippin' Dungeon! 🃏⚔️

When we moved into our place my partner bemoaned the boring white walls common in modern houses these days. So we hatched a plan to do SOMETHING if we got the place repainted. It’s taken us two years and several attempts to find a painter, but we are stoked with the results

Went and saw The Hives play at the Forum last night and it was an absolute banger of a show! Easily my favourite band to see live

Adding some new abilities to my #pico8 game The Bridge. Fun stuff like "Mimic" that randomly copies a crew member's ability whenever they swap position with them. Or "Skill Sharer", that applies one random ability from a crew member to the entire team. Will this break the game? Almost definitely 😅

This was the first game I ever worked on! … nearly 20 years ago

Finally got round to playing a bit of this and as a big fan of both deck builders and Constantine (both in the comic books AND that Keanu movie) I am really digging what Malys is doing! Either that or I just really enjoy seeing a grizzled bloke in a trench coat having to exorcise demons…

|| Serve the Fuedostate || Catch King Crabs || Survive Crabmeat is a short fishing-first-person-point-and-click-survival-horror releasing later this year. Wishlist now on steam to make sure you meet quota. store.steampowered.com/app/3671850/...

🧵Thinky Puzzle Jam I started a small little project this week for the jam, hopefully I can finish. The game will be a small shape coloring, cutting and assembling shapes on the board! #thinkypuzzlejam5 #indiedev #gamedev #pico8 #gamejam

lots more blancing, again lol. ive made things properly difficult now i think. More play testing is needed though. ive also added an exit to menu button witch took longer than expected. #pico8 #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #pixelart #umbragame

i know it's been a while but i'm happy to report it's that time again... v pleased to present: DINO SORT adamatomic.itch.io/dino-sort 🦕 it has dinosaurs in it 😭 but they're s a d :( oh dear 🔀 SCOOT. THEM. AROUND. until HAPPY. ♾ 26 authored puzzles + infinite mode :o 📆 also daily challenge ?? y

I've been adding some special enemies to my #pico8 game to provide a little bit more of a challenge. These are probably my two favourites so far; an enemy that summons and invulnerable wall of googly eyes, and another that pressures the player by advancing EVERY turn (instead of every 2nd turn).
