Screen Australia's future leaders delegation to BitSummit applications close on November 13th!

Genuinely, I have friends who have undertaken these programs and seen how much it's done for their confidence, their projects, and their skills. PLEASE don't count yourself out. It's so good.

I played 10 different video games this weekend, which is something I haven't had the time to do in a very long time.
It was nice, and if November could have fewer game releases, that'd be very much appreciated. 🫠

I think I'm going to take a break from game companies and just make a very small scope project myself.

The challenge now will be picking which one of my 50 ideas gets a chance to become real 😅
