Most Aussie gamers don't know that Destroy All Humans was developed in Australia or that The Hobbit even exists! We think that's pretty crap. We are creating a documentary series to help that. Showing Australia's contributions to the global video game industry. But - we are running out of time.

Coming soon: Region Locked: Unlocking Australian Video Games

'Region Locked' tells the high-stakes story of the Australian video game industry and the legends that formed it.

Happy four year anniversary to our beloved Queer Man Peering. A game that completely changed the trajectory of our lives. 😘😘 It was such a difficult development, but after four years of working on Janet I’m starting to think that maybe that’s an ‘us thing’. store.steampowered.com/app/1711420/...

A joyful, strange experience in which a middle-aged queer man toddles around a strange island attempting to re-furnish his empty house.

The top comment on our Tomb Raider social video is that I look like I’m being held at gunpoint and it’s so fucking funny

There is a rich history of video game developers in Australia. The more we uncover the more we realise how connected it all is. What modern indie studio do you think is connected to the core game legends of the 1980s?

Aussie Games (1989), featured sport like simulated games but with an Australian humour twist. Belly flop into the Sydney Harbour, shoot beer cans from a moving ute in skeet fashion and throw boomerangs across the Aussie outback. #aussiemade #aussiegames #retrovideogames
