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.

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.
