On a personal note it’s been a bitter sweet time winning an award w the recent passing of my Dad. I haven't found the right words to say or know how to feel during all this. Dad you were the person I'd call to celebrate with. Unfortunately you just missed this last call. Hope I could make you proud.

@actualmontaigne.bsky.social for co-writing the title track and lending your vocal talent to the score. The title track sets up the vibe for the game so well. And thanks to the rest of the @summerfallstudios.com team. I can honestly say the whole team was such a lovely bunch of people to work with.

Aaron Edwards for music implementation. I would give Aaron a bunch of music parts and say "You have full creative control on implementing the music, have fun. I look forward to hearing it in game!". Thanks for making the music sound great and giving it it’s dynamic character, its half the job!

The art team! The art style played a huge role in determining the music. I would spend hours staring at the game to try and match the style musically. If the game had looked any different, the music certainly would have been too.

@liamesler.bsky.social thanks for guiding the ship through all the challenges in getting this game to release and being a beacon of support for everyone. You work tirelessly on games and that work doesn't go unnoticed.

@davidgaider.bsky.social thanks for dreaming up the world of Malys. I always felt my job was to get inside your mind & imagine what this world was that you created & somehow build a musical character to match it. Thanks for giving me freedom to experiment, being so open & encouraging of creativity.

What a rush! Malys won Excellence in Music at the 2026 Australian Game Developer Awards! This game we play of building video games isn't a solo sport, it's a team sport & I wouldn't have been on the stage if it weren't for the team around me.
