New Zealand indies are flourishing, with successes like DREDGE, Path of Exile, and Biotic Factor played by millions.

So earlier this year at PAX, I made it my mission to play and speak with every Aotearoan dev on the showfloor.

Thanks to everyone who attended #PAX and played our game! Jeremy and I had loads of fun - 30 hours of talking to players went by ridiculously fast and the bartop machine was a big hit.

Next stop, #Weplay Shanghai!

We've now got Pinball in the "what pre-existing games can we fill in the roguelike space?" niche with Pinball Hero.

Following our hands-on time at PAX Aus 2025, we can't wait for its full release.

The 𝖇𝖔𝖙𝖙𝖔𝖒𝖑𝖊𝖘𝖘 𝖖𝖚𝖎𝖛𝖊𝖗 is a spatial modifier that increases the potency of ranged items surrounding it.

𝕳𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖘𝖑𝖎𝖒𝖊 𝕵𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖞 is a rare artefact item that augments your bombs - making them explode immediately on contact with increased explosion damage. Perfect for our gunpowder enjoyers 😎

If you're heading to #PAX in Melbourne next week, this is where you can find us. Sandwiched in between the big dogs 😌

Just look for the two weirdos wearing goblin ears (us).

If you're heading to PAX Melbourne, come and say hi! We'll be showcasing there, equipped with an army of slimes to give away.

These critters were kindly made by Speevcrochet & BubonicGoose. Check them out soon at bubonicgoose.com

Being an artist, my programming *° 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴 °* has bugs with unintended consequences (or unintended fortune I guess).

I was surprised today to find out that an AI-slop game copied my name and is releasing their game in less than 72 hours of it's creation on Steam. I am also surprised that they called it 'Pinball Hero' when the game is clearly Peggle and not Pinball 🤨

The whoopie cushion item reduces your dash cooldown but also adds a farting noise to it which was extremely important and I am unwilling to budge on

Occasionally as a balance tweak I need to change item dimensions. For example the 𝙛𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙘𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙗𝙡𝙖𝙙𝙚 was updated from a 1x1 to an r-block inventory shape.

The 𝕯𝖜𝖆𝖗𝖛𝖊𝖓 𝕷𝖔𝖓𝖌𝖇𝖔𝖜 is a ranged item that excels at killing large monsters - hitting up to 3x times depending on their size.

Going on from my last post, when you use the elixir of great fortune you roll some pretty OP loot in the shop!

The potion of great fortune can be found in the claw machine event and grants 99 luck for one round, if you use it right it leads to some pretty funny possibilities.

(all random events, loot rolls and secrets are based off luck)

One of my personal favourites. The repair hammer is a throwable item that does damage to enemies but repairs your slings on contact.

A magic quiver item that boosts ranged damage for each 'bow' or 'crossbow' in your inventory.

The Elven Quiver adds +1 projectile to any bow.
Interestingly for the Master Bow volley effect, it basically does a double volley which was unexpected but cool.
