As I seemed to have gained hundreds of followers over the past 24 hours, I thought I would introduce myself.
My name is Ben, I specialise in education through play and have worked on a number of games for many clients.
I also teach, mentor, and work in and around the Australian game dev scene.

I made a comic, go read it!
I spent the last 3 week putting together a comic in my own personal style and flow just to see if I could. I wanted to set up an interesting world similar to comic I read growing up.
I want to continue and hear what you think.

During 2020 I started teaching myself how to paint.
I put all these up on Instagram and got thousands of followers.
Then they changed their policy on nudity and deleted my account.
I've just started getting back into it.
Please follow if you're interested (very NSFW).

Game one of this year is well underway.
I have decided to make all the art myself, which is talking a while, but it is coming along well.
More details soon

I'm thinking of making a game a month next year.
All small, all based around a small concept.
Working out if I should do the art myself, or find someone to join me in this adventure.

Some Malad made an icon pack of EVERY possible 4x4 1 bit sprite.
And then named each and every one..
All 65,536 of them.

You've seen packs with many assets, but what about one with every asset?

@ashens.bsky.social I bought and watched the Polybius heist years back.
But for some reason, over the last few months YouTube has been recommending it on its home screen every other day.
Today however, YouTube has stepped up it's game and tried 3 times to autoplay the movie after other videos!!

I've worked most of my game Dev life making amazing games with amazing people. But because the games I've worked on have been mostly client work and educational, very little of my work has been credited.
Annoying.

In early 2026 I'm moving to Dublin Ireland.
While I'm excited about the move, I will need to build up friend and industry groups again from scratch.
If anyone knows any game Devs in Ireland that want to help a Kiwi/Aussie know what's Craic and what's not send them my way.

Much love to Dee for finishing her 4 years pharmacy degree.
Will be spending the week in Port Douglas to relax and do nothing for a while.
