We have some really special games on show tonight, can't wait to share them with you all 💖
Jealous of everyone who gets another chance to play this in a gallery setting. Tex really is the master of these beautiful little interactive art pieces.

Experience games from around the country and beyond 💖
So excited to be part of this (even if from a distance)!

I think bringing Australia's games scene closer together is such an awesome initiative, and this is an incredible line-up!! (totally unbiased)
This year's TANGENTS is STACKED💖
Shout out to our exhibitors 🗣️📣

We're very excited about the line-up but if you need some extra endorsements we got them too 💝
Melbourne folk, go play HyperRouter! It's truly indescribable!

We're activating our whole venue Sabby with games everywhere from:
- the front window
- the main room
- the kitchen
- out back and the vibe-y alleyway
- the upstairs alcove
- the media room

There's heaps of room so come through and our team of angels will find you space & your people 👼👩‍👩‍👧‍👧
Oh me oh my! I may not be in Melbourne, but my game is, so go play it!

Independent Games Festival (IGF) Nuovo Award nominee (for Tapeçaria), New York gamemaker & @boshis.place member @mut.media made "Re: Imagine the character" in response to Rosden Shadow's essay game "What is a video game?"

Rosden's work has been quietly influential worldwide, come try it yourself 👀🎮

You may not have heard of Rosden Shadow or Mark Signorelli but his highly experimental and explorative approach to game design has been inspirational for gamemakers all the way from his hometown of Adelaide to New York City. We're showing the strange and wonderful "Beauty Within Its Flaws" 🔎🍃

AsRPG by @zero-point-games.bsky.social is an experimental RPG collection for the freaks, weirdos and true connoisseurs of every time the A in ARPG stands for avant-garde rather than action...

... so it's exactly our kinda game 😎👨‍🎨👩‍🎨

Nonolith by nsw game design scholar @justcamh.bsky.social is an esoteric game that expands your brain as it expands its world 🧠🌏
Nonolith is a mysterious puzzle game with dozens of secret mechanics that you learn as you play.

This world holds more than you know.

Another preview we're thrilled for is HyperRouter by @piers.zip

y2k Will Never Die, But U Will 🫵🔫

Get ready to move fast and see colours you haven't seen before! 🤯🎨
Should I mention at some point that I'm going to be at the Queensland Games Festival??

I'm bringing along HyperRouter, my trippy, datamoshy, early-internet first-person platformer.

It's very early in development and also maybe one of the coolest things ever.
