I did end up getting there in the end. Lots of practice 😅 Purple Trubio is no joke.

Just keep repeating yourself and shouting into the void with fingers crossed 🤞 😅

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

You are so kind! Possibly next year, that would be amazing 😍

I don't know about fixing this issue. But I made your book 'the' textbook for a uni Games UX/UI unit I was asked to run 😁

I mean I've done draft wireframes in Miro. Ignoring any sense of actual sizing. But I do get annoyed at having to click very specifically a certain number of times in Figma just to select what I want.

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Absolutely. I also want to add. I really enjoyed the practical activities which helped me develop my skills. ☺️

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Oooo this looks like so much fun. Ill have to revisit Wilmot 😍

This book helped me make the leap to actually making/releasing my first game! It gave me the tools to be able to tell the story I wanted the way I wanted through the medium of games. ☺️

Lil game I've been working on will be at Games for Change Australia. You can play the demo at ACMI Oct 7-9 ☺️ The line up of speakers looks incredible.

Playing in small chunks. We just unlocked the train and are having fun riding around the island 🚂🩸 (I need a red blob emoji 😅)

010

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Do you need people to record cursed voice lines 🤔 😅 This sounds like a really fun project, can't wait to see it! 🤞

I'm making a videogame, here's a pretty picture I drew of the WA coastline for it.

The web version of PowerPoint is like trying to make a presentation with one hand tied behind your back while also standing on your head.

011

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Yes! Amazing game and unique visual style. Love it.

010

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Yes please!!! Will pass on to uni library tomorrow ☺️ Great idea!

000

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

Make this a cursed game jam - adopt someone else's abandoned project and finish it for them 😅

000

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

Was having a very similar conversation today. But with respect to learning and/or writing. Like the journey is the whole point. And to shortcut that, defeats the purpose.

010

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 13/05/2026

I don't know about fellowships. But may also be option to be an 'adjunct'. Where you can publish under uni name and use library resources etc.. But aren't paid.

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

I find Dynasty Warriors is silly fun. Hades and Silksong are great. Deep Rock Galactic is fun with friends, can scale difficulty up and down easily. Horizon series is one of my favs, great story too.

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

Congrats! Just finished Conspiracy Nation, great book. Look fwd to your stories for ABC

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

At its core it's just stayed the same. And slowly introduced new useful features here and there. No major UI updates or pivots to new money-making fads/things.

010

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

Been using it for so so long. So good. No issues.. just voluntarily upgraded from v1 (which was still working btw!) to v5.

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 24/04/2026

This is the better, more thoughtful story to read. Wholly agree with this quote!

010

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

And then receive feedback months after you've forgotten what you wrote and have to 'fix it'.

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

I imagine they would struggle with the niche terminology. But also no opt-out??!? Surely just an automated (or author recorded) audio reading of the paper is more accessible and true to the work than this..... 😑

030

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

Amazing work. Will definitely be ordering a copy 😊

010

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 08/03/2026

We ran themed workshops (e.g. Unity, Asperite, game design, audio) over a few months leading up to a game jam. Mentors made all the difference esp for ppl new to games. Even just doing the organising of it all is a huge support.

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 21/02/2026

Seeing/playing something like JS Joust or New Games at an event for first time is amazing! These aren't things you can just buy and play at home by yourself.

Random strangers who we met thru playing the game. Would organise to trade keys with ppl who had travelled far away to capture large bits of land.

Meeting up for Ingress raids back in the day before Pokemon Go.

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 27/12/2025

Just a lil narrative game for mobile. About becoming a new parent ☺️

010

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 25/12/2025

It's given me so much to think about. So good! Using it to write a game ☺️ love to see a book from you too!

110

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 25/12/2025

Have you read Hannah Nicklin's book on Writing For Games? Whole great chapter on this 🥰

110

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 22/12/2025

I'm still working thru Silksong 😅

010

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 19/12/2025

Oh and my fav Jasper Fforde

110

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 19/12/2025

Terry Pratchett, Martha Wells, Ursula Le Guin, been enjoying Adrian Tchaikovsky lately some good stand alone books.

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

Highly recommend if you haven't played this yet!

010

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 07/12/2025

This sounds amazing! Traitors x Joust. JS Joust has a special place in my heart

010

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

Also when I tried the Celeste speed run at Game Worlds at ACMI. My brain/hands couldn't stop using Silksong button mapping 🤣

000

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

There's been like 3-4 fights I got real stuck on. Having a great time with it though. Manage to get it eventually 😜

110

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

You can get HELP?!?!! That one took me a while. I am beyond this now.... Trying not to look up too much online.

110

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 20/09/2025

Hahahaha yes. Very handy! Also an airbrush holder. And lots of cleaning tools. Prob airbrush thinner was other super useful thing I didn't know I needed.

010

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 20/09/2025

I had to very quickly learn how to take it apart and put back together again haha. So much cleaning! But that will fix 90% of my issues.

110

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 16/09/2025

Can't wait to see this during MIGW

010

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 08/09/2025

Ahaha no worries. Next time! I'll be over for PAX of you're around for a coffee or something?

000

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 27/08/2025

My fav is sounds like 'oh' (and the tone changes the meaning completely!). Like 'oh' I understand that puzzle now. Or 'oh' wth is going on....

010

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 27/08/2025

Or they say one thing but really mean another. Context is key! Also players don't speak 'game dev' language. So will describe problems in wildly different ways

110

Meg @megpusey.bsky.social · 16/08/2025

If you are in/around the CBD lemme know!
