Do not fall for the lies of c-suites. Not making enough money for endless growth goons is not “inherently unprofitable.” Media is very challenging, yes, but the vultures want you to believe these layoffs are inevitable and necessary.

Had such an amazing couple of days at the South Australian Game Exhibition with Silk Soar. We were so busy I didn't stop to get pics other than during setup. Need to update the images on the steam store with our awesome new art. store.steampowered.com/app/3277320/...

Congratulations to the four recipients of the first round of the Level Up Tasmania fund! These studios have received a funding boost of $130,480, with some already going on to get publisher deals. We can't wait to see where they go from here.

Is this an official announcement of my new, first indie game in order 10 years? I suppose it is!

happy to announce i am once again making video games
i am a very big fan of being unemployed, though the downside is that developing games seems to have an inverse correlation to my mental wellbeing, so I am currently making exactly zero video games

folks should play arco. it's very good. exceptional, even.
Finally, months later, Arco. ✅

What a journey—brutal but heartfelt story with very possibly the year’s best combat. People are gonna discover this one in the years to come and wonder how everyone missed it. Special game.
