Setting Big Walk in the Australian bush was a stroke of genius. It has such a strong sense of place (golden wattle! kookaburras! squeaky sand!) and makes me miss home.

A few years ago I co-created a sitcom for Australian TV called Metro Sexual. Our broadcast agreements are done and dusted, which means both seasons are now on YouTube! Here's the first ep! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ho5a...

Time Crisis is truly the perfect name - it's a title that could almost fit every game ever made. Cook Serve Delicious? That's a (Multitasking) Time Crisis. Death Stranding? That's a Time(fall) Crisis. Unpacking? That's an (Existential) Time Crisis.

I've been really enjoying Cook Serve Forever!!! The art, animation, story, music, everything just feels so rich and full of love. Today I got jumpscared by a Vietnamese grandma speaking some Vietnamese in the game? And a pun restaurant name that I will... tolerate... (I'm very picky about Pho puns)

Cook Serve Forever is out today. This game has had a profound impact on my life. Professionally, sure, but more than that because of the new friendships I've made and the old ones I've strengthened.

WE DID IT! 😭 Immensely proud of everyone on the team, and the story @ryanmatejka.bsky.social and I wrote together. ❤️

Sorry guys, I couldn't concentrate on a single thing from the Direct because I was distracted by the size of this man's suit.

Eternally grateful for Andrea turning my actual dog shit into something beautiful. @andreanagai.bsky.social

A terrible storyboard of Nori and Brie driving to Helianthus. Actual dog shit.

I can't believe Nintendo made a near-perfect game in Super Mario Galaxy 2 and they just... forget that it exists.

Strange Creatures is out in Australian cinemas this Thursday! I had the pleasure of working as the Story Editor on it two years ago, and it's been super nice seeing it get all the love on the festival circuit. 👯‍♂️⚱️❤️ youtu.be/yo_HKSpJtpg

Sometimes #gamedev is the most creatively fulfilling thing on the planet, and other times it involves nothing but staring at spreadsheets. Signed, someone who's just spent the last few months doing the latter.

G'day! I'm Nick and I'm a writer working in games and TV. ✨ I'm best known for writing the Cook Serve Delicious games and creating the TV sitcom Metro Sexual. Currently hard at work on Cook Serve Forever (coming to a console/pc/smart fridge near you). 🍔 #gamedev

Now that Bluesky supports video I can share the first and last time I was allowed to draw storyboards for Cook Serve Forever. Dunno why they didn't let me do any more.

Uluru is a place of great cultural and spiritual significance to many Aboriginal Australians, and in Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 you build a theme park on it. What is the most insensitive moment in video game history and is it this.
