there are so many types of games in like the mid tier commercial game space that would have never been made in the past coming out now. the landscape has been continually transforming artistically in so many ways. it's just can be hard to see because there's a lot of other stuff surrounding it

Hey, man!

get psyched: I played through too many Ass Creed games and wrote a big blog post about it.

i don't really like ass creed that much. but i might love it?

I wonder why all these great indie games are coming out of Australia where they have a massive public funding effort for videogame creators

I wish we had gotten some warning from Steam and Itch... but we already know it's Collective Shout + payment processors waging culture war against LGBTQ people and sexual expression. I guess there's nothing else for Steam and Itch to say

Not to compete with my own (better) game, but I released a Next Fest demo for a minimalist precision-platformer I made in my off-time!

It's got fewer colours, fewer pixels, and significantly less effort than Key Fairy, but I still love my foolish child!

Regional areas often feel like a blind spot in the broadly recognised industry - so it has been exciting to have been part of it, alongside my students, emerging developers, and professionals alike. I do hope other screen agencies have an eye on it, and how impact can be diversified - lots to learn!

🌴 Last week Season of the Dev wrapped up - an initiative by Screen Queensland to highlight & upskill gamdevs on the Sunshine Coast. It's been fantastic having a state gov bring concentrated visibility and community building to regional game makers, and also involving those from major cities.

Once hidden in a Friday Night Funkin' fangame, surreal free exploration sandbox Garn47 gets a major makeover with the 'Glorgle update' We've no idea what a Glorgle is but I'm sure someone's going to find out soon.

I don't know why they keep letting me get away with stuff like this, but I got to write about Garn47.

A janky little free game that was once a hidden bonus in a Friday Night Funkin' mod. Now a patreon-funded phenomenon with a rabid following picking apart every update for ARG-esque lore tidbits.

Very happy to have contributed to this here in the seat!

Skin Deep by BLENDO Games

"You Are An Insurance Agent On A Ship" is my favorite video game genre.

Truly! A new height in title reveal, didn’t think 30 Flights Could be topped.

Not to forget they are joined by my favourite little goob Gino!

Cool thing - my sister and her husband are on Gardening Australia tonight (ABC @ 7:30pm, on iview afterwards)! Their suburban permaculture farm is one of the segments + very jealous they got to hang out with Costa.

🎉 Skin Deep is RELEASED! 🎉

👉 Steam store.steampowered.com/app/301280/S...
👉 Epic Games Store store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/skin...

This game was made with a crew of wonderful folks: blendogames.com/skindeep/cre...

We hope you enjoy Skin Deep! ✨

Skin Deep was released today! 🎉

I wrote about some of the wonderful collaborators on this project. What a privilege to work with them: blendogames.com/news/post/20...

it was so cool how the original half-life expansions showed you the events at black mesa from a new character's perspective
