This will be the first MIGW in quite some time that we will not be in attendance. I wish I could be there with my clients nominated for 4 AGDAs between them but my main client needs me 24/7 and is not quite ready for the hustle and bustle the week entails 🤱

So as not to curse y'all with the visuals, I'll just say that Kmart is currently selling rip offs of popular board games with AI slop boxes that are light as all hell; Things like Twister, Guess Who, Hungry Hungry Hippos and way more in a busted AI style and an off the original name.

I think my favourite colour is yellow now and has been for a long time, I'm just only now accepting it. I've said it was purple since primary school but have meant a #B21050 kind of colour. Just realising how much of my stuff is yellow 💀💛

the problem with the games industry is that it makes money in a sustainable way by creating stuff that people want to pay for this is in contrast to how big capital would prefer to make money, by trying to scale fake numbers to infinity using gambler brained investors lured in by impossible claims

if you're feeling down about genAI please remember that it is a) intensely unpopular b) immensely unprofitable c) being propped up by people who NEED it to succeed, will spend any amount to create an illusion of a win but still keep failing and leaving the people they work with caked in shit

We did a game jam about her a couple years ago, she's iconic! (Please just feed the game bird and not your neighbirds 😭). teamacidburn.itch.io/snagged

Screenshot of our pixel art jammed game with background based on a real part of the local river. In the foreground there are public barbeques that people are free to use and that's where NPCs come in to sizzle up some sausages with an NPC to the right with sunburn, tongs, an iconic drink, and an iconic hat).
