They've done a fine job running your socials though.

Also there are dogs. Dogs are a key selling point!

Yeah, especially as it's just a heat. There's semi finals and QLD state final to go... It is sunny and warm here though

Or Uber drivers, it's a fine line. And given Ed Sheeran is playing down the road it's going to be competitive to get an Uber home later...

That lemon tart looks SO good!

Stage with a red curtain as a backdrop, and a neon sign saying The Sit-down Comedy Club.

Back finding the comedy stars of tomorrow.

More savoury: Rick and Mortadella

They know you're notoriously litigious. They won't risk it. Cowards.

E3 dying was unthinkable. I'm sure some folks feel the same about GDC. But like so many major events it's got increasingly unaffordable and inaccessible to average developers. It's turning into the DAVOS of the industry. It's simply not for us anymore.

But he needs all the water for his data centres 😬

EQUIP Canberra Games - Screen Canberra

Canberra game devs, I'm coming down for Equip to talk about the business of games. You'll also hear from @merryh.bsky.social and local legends @deanw.xyz from Blue Manchu, and Ed Orman from Uppercut Games.
Maybe I'll even tell you about working with SpongeBob & M Night Shyamalan...

Genuinely a pleasure to be able to help, to give back. I've made SO MANY MISTAKES over the years that I can warn folks about so they can make exciting new mistakes instead. And I'm not joking.

I hope they're all coming to Equip next month for precisely that reason.

That was ketchup? 🩸

Cursed toilet rolls.

I get that they don't want to be corporate or "the man". But some of them swing way too far the other way. And it always catches up with them.

So many developers are dreadful at treating their games like a business sadly.

Big JANK.

We are thrilled to announce that the PRO JANK FOOTY demo will be available in Steam Next Fest next week.
 
Don't miss this chance to have a crack at the game!
 
Download and play from Feb 24 in Australia.

It is difficult to surprise people on their birthday as they get older... But I think they did well here.

You've been in meetings with me, every day is a performance. Ask the people who come through my workshops 😹

No, I'm not doing a tight 5. They can't afford me 😺

This is your wishlists yeah?

Cracking film.

21 is such a precious age 😉

Congratulations to local Brisbane gamedevs Owl Machine on releasing Key Fairy today. I remember seeing it in the SQHub some time ago, and it's fantastic to see graduates of that program shipping games.

Hope it all goes smoothly!

The next workshop is in July, perfect if you're heading to Gamescom. You can find out more and register here:
