Any cool international devs (preferably with a game released in the last year or so) interested in visiting Melbourne this year (for the small price of doing a short talk??)

Hey Bitsummit! 建築家のスケッチにインスパイアされた手書き風ビジュアルのハウスデザインゲームを作っています。今年の出展はありませんが明日メルボルンから京都に飛びます。正直日本のインディーとの関わりがあんまりないので、どしどし絡んでください（メルボルンの他のクールなゲーム開発者も紹介するで） We're flying to Kyoto tomorrow! Bringing our game about being an architect. though we're not exhibiting, ping me if you'll be there! chao

I interviewed Freeplay's co-founder Katharine Neil a couple of years ago about its origins & legacy. There was SO much fascinating stuff that I couldn't publish but I'm still really proud of the piece & feel as if documenting this stuff holds a tiny bit of importance too.

This is devastating. One of my favourite games of the year, To a T is a beautiful slice-of-life narrative with some of the best disability messaging I’ve seen in games. Please play it!

our videogame is on show at acmi game worlds!! it’s called ACMI EGG 🧍‍♀️ basically there’s this ACMI CREATURE and we have to keep it alive across a shared save file, in real time, day after day after day. if it runs away it’s everybody’s fault and we can share the guilt🧍‍♀️ also it has secrets! the end!

leura is standing in front of a tv screen that says ACMI EGG. she looks a bit silly

Katsumi is standing in front of a TV screen with an egg on it. he seems hungry? makes you think…

I realise posting this on a Saturday is not ideal, but, hear me out. We are trying very hard to keep Frosty alive, and even grow it into something more helpful for ANZ based devs, long term 🍦

hiiii we’re 13% of the way there! i know it’s a change from my usual posts but i think even if we can’t do much about the situation in Gaza we have the opportunity to help one young family, and I can’t just let them stay in danger— please help if you can!!! I will be so grateful
