Today I had the absolute pleasure of talking gamedev and helping mini game jam with a group of young Mob at ACMI.
Two highlights:
- Blakfulla kids give the best handshakes ever. You can't match that clap. 😂
- Hearing kids cheer when they beat the minigame in Buru gave me all kinds of feels. 😂😭🥰

🤘🏼
We've cruised past $50k!
And now we must make good on our word. We are releasing the #bizkitcut. Our first draft Kickstarter video. A video that, according to our trusted friends, should never, ever see the light of day.
But we wanna do things our way.
Our way or the highway.
Spent the drive to school drop off today talking about prototyping and game loops with our eldest. They have started working on a little game at lunch with their friends.
🥰🥰🥰
24 hours post-launch.
10:30 AM AEDT.
The Limp Bizkit WrestleMania Cut of our Kickstarter Promo.
(we're sorry-not-sorry in advance)
You mad units got us at almost $50,000.
Unbelievable.
Apparently, there's not a jerry can to be had in this continent.
Meanwhile, @lukeplunkett.com is grinning driving by 😂
$40,000 passed. We need some extra stretch goals and we need to release the Limp Bizkit WrestleMania Cut of our promo video. The world isn't ready for this. #releasethebizkitcut
Thank you to everyone here on Day One. We freakin' appreciate the support more than you know.

Excited to be back contributing to the thing that started my career in the first place: Australian PRINT MAGAZINES!
😂😂
I WILL PIN THE PAGES ON MY WALL LIKE THE DAYS OF OLD
oh my...👀
I could not be more stoked to announce CONTINUE, a defiant, new games magazine that aims to celebrate and interrogate the culture, creativity and community of videogames. The Kickstarter is now live below. www.kickstarter.com/projects/con...
Soon to be published, unpublishable opinion piece :D
I had the immense pleasure of putting together an illustration for this new australian Magazine, very humbled that that @serrels.bsky.social and @jacksonwryan.com chose me to scribble on their first cover.
Please consider backing local australian journalism. there are stories here worth telling.
Cracking new pieces!
This is such an exciting PRINT (real shit you can hold) project and what a doooooope lineup of creatives and contributors.
Support if you can 🫰🏼
I want to introduce you all to something myself and @jacksonwryan.com have been working on.
A PRINT MAGAZINE about video games and video game culture.
We know things have been bad for games writing recently. We're asking, "do you want to Continue?"
