You don’t have to write lengthy submissions - mine was short because while I care deeply I’m not an expert here, and that’s fine.

“Reverie: Sweet as edition” box art. The main character stands in the center of a forest with some kiwi birds approaching cautiously, a rock with silly eyes, sits in the grass, and the game logo sits above.

“Trigger Witch” cover art. A witch in a blue rob and hat holding a large machine gun and firing at the magical enemies in a forest. A pink portal in the backdrop, slain enemies in the foreground, and the game logo in the upper right corner.

Hi! We're Dinosaur Polo Club, based in New Zealand. We make Mini Metro & Mini Motorways.

The news is bad. The layoffs in the game industry are bad. Old platforms collapsing is bad. The best we can offer in these ridiculous times is a job, but it's a cool job at least. Come make indie games with us?

This would be an incredible metaphor for game dev omg

A Leopard seal lying on it’s right side on a beach, belly facing the camera, flippers by its side. Seems to be snoozing. The head is the main focus.

Honestly really proud of the Wellingtonians respecting this one this morning. People came down to take a picture and marvel at the creature for a minute or so, then went on with their day 🥹

The Uber eats driver pulled up and said “hey it’s me again” 🙃

Looks like default Unity scene and default unreal lighting had a baby
