We had a little chat with ScreenHub about the very strange state of the gaming industry right now, how we are adapting, and the strength of the Australian scene. Thanks @legenette.bsky.social!

For any robots with a hankering for a wholesome snack, Zester has been busy in the Rusthaven kitchen cooking up a new recipe! It’s called Mushroom and Wire Noodles in Battery Acid Broth.

Please stop asking us how the robots eat. They refuse to say.

Scoot’s face display is proving to be a useful canvas for not only their personality, but also for including some diegetic UI. Here is Scoot unable to gather a resource, and running low on battery. #screenshotsaturday

Finally getting to put art in your game is like, woah... we actually have a game now!

Mammoth effort from the team to turn Rusthaven from green and grey shapes to this in just three weeks.

A small and blurry photograph of a computer screen and a ship maybe? There's two blurry figures and it looks like one might be saying something. Who knows?

The best leaker in the industry infiltrated our office and managed to snap some photos of Rusthaven in development.

The best part about being a dumpster diving robot is finding retro technology and recycling its parts to upgrade your own body.
