A piece of art showing a humanoid character with circuitry lining their body, holding a rose, surrounded by roses and pillars of circuits. The words Constellations are printed in big red letters in a spikey style just behind the character. The TVGS and Screen NSW logos are at the bottom and the Sereade and Waypoint logos are at the top of the image

DAWN CHORUS key art: two characters facing away from each other. the title is overlaid on top of them.a central column with text in it. on each sides, placed diagonally from each other, lines of dialogue. there's a portrait of one of the characters on top of a background that shows a view of skyscrapers from street level.a screen that has a lot of minimalistic browser-like interface windows open in a lot of different colours and writing styles.a screen that looks like a screenplay with multiple dialogue choices. there's an image of the setting the scene is in, a river under two merging overpasses

DLSS 5 has sent shockwaves through the games industry, so I asked several artists and developers what concerns them most about the technology. Unsurprisingly, their ire is about far more than ‘AI slop’. www.gadgetguy.com.au/nvidia-dlss-...

Really sad to hear today that Freeplay Independent Games Festival is likely coming to the end of its adventure in 2026 after 22 incredible years. Freeplay has been pivotal to my own career and I have some complex, straight out contradictory feelings about the announcement I wanna try to articulate.

I have thoughts on this, as a former director and a board member for six years, and for one time anyway, a keeper of the flame of Freeplay’s history. But first up I want to say how incredibly disappointing it is that Creative Vic hasn’t funded Freeplay.
