Hi new Bluesky friends!
Here’s a mini intro from me - I’m a business developer, marketer and producer from Melbourne, Australia. I’ve been in indie games for 8ish yrs now, currently at @summerfallstudios.bsky.social, & previously led production at @strangescaffold.bsky.social & Aconite (HoloVista).

I'll be in Sydney in a few weeks time for the Driving Change Summit - all about accessibility in the screen industries. ✨
I'd LOVE to see some other game developers in attendance - there's a lot we can learn from film and tv's approach to accesibility too!

Playing Planet Zoo is just deciding to log on, somehow blacking out for 4-6 hours, and having a single habitat done to a mediocre standard. I love it. Keeping me busy in satisfying my builder needs until Anno next week.

Talking to friends internationally, it really does remind me just how lucky we are to have the government support we do locally.
It's grown so so much since I worked at then Film Vic. It's such a difficult time to be a game dev but we have so many opportunities people in other places just don't.

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.

Just booted a game to check out a few things and totally forgot that I had my headphones on and thought a huge truck was fully backing into my house. Great brain, good job.

Last week I finished up at Summerfall Studios after three & a bit years.
I'm so grateful to have worked somewhere so special. @liamesler.bsky.social, @davidgaider.bsky.social and @elieyoung.bsky.social are some of the best people I've had the pleasure to know, let alone work for.

Fondly recalling the uber driver I had in Sydney the other week who said 'Excuse me, girl?' then caught my eye in the rear view mirror and said 'I'm so sorry. Lady.' completely sincerely. So funny. 10/10.

for some reason back in 2017, I decided to make a website to make fake video game screenshots. This was a good idea and made a lot of people laugh.
Here's to the Death Generator, eight years and 270ish games later!

Mildly sick and twisted of me but I love to read reviews and track bugs and make spreadsheets and prioritise - the producer in me (and maybe my shadow QA self????) gets so hot and bothered at the end to end deliciousness of Solving

If you’re an Aussie based creative, you HAVE to read this book. Written in 2013, it couldn’t be more accurate of today still. It articulates so many of the challenges so well & I think is a must read - especially if you’ve been doing this for a while.

A bit of Summerfall Studios lore:
One day in 2019, and we were all very exhausted and punchy at the time, Liam responded to a long work thread on Slack with "praise Satan" but autocorrect corrected that to "praise Sarah" and the rest of us were VERY confused. Who is Sarah? What do you mean by that?

I cannot begin to articulate how amazing this team is and how hard they've worked and I know everyone says that at a game launch but genuinely, most people cannot imagine what has gone into this launch for this team.
Anyway, play Malys. It's a damn good game, all because of them.
