I discovered familiar and brand new games at the ALT: Games festival today. Along with a bunch of games added to my Wishlist, I am proud to see the local games dev community grow.

Seems like a useful tool.

This is what I have been working on for the past decade 💅 ALT: GAMES is a new festival that brings together the Australian games community and industry. Featuring @dmullinsgames.bsky.social Richard Garfield @allyhennessy.bsky.social Playfool and atomo Kihara

Aside from the web panel feature which I never use anyway, the new additions + fixes are greatly appreciated.

I love this. Wonder how’s the ergonomics though.

I should start another Godot project… 🤔

I already developed my personal website - and now I've been working on another #website project in the past couple weeks. This time, it's a blog dedicated to travelling around Sydney. Utilises Astro, DaisyUI, TailwindCSS, Leaflet + OpenStreetMaps, and based on the 'AstroMelody' theme. WIP.

Godot 4.4 has reached the Release Candidate stage! All features are in, critical regressions fixed, and it’s ready for production use. We still need your help testing, so give it a try (remember to make backups!) and let us know if you find any issues 🚀 godotengine.org/article/rele...

Fleet seems... lit? I didn't know Fleet ascended @rivals2.com. Only present on Fleet's default palette.

I’m listening to Odetari’s “Keep Up” and “Run!” on repeat now. New favourite artist acquired.

💚💛As is tradition, we're cataloguing every game released by Australian and New Zealand developers in 2025 (and beyond)🖤🤍 If you're an Aussie or New Zealand studio working on a game, we'd love to hear about it and add it to the list 😍 Read: www.well-played.com.au/every-austra...

Have a Happy New Year folks! (Parramatta NYE Celebrations)

I can say, with confidence, that the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie was absolute cinema. Now if you excuse me, I’ll be listening to Crush 40 and other Sonic/Shadow OST music.

Merry Christmas folks!

Y’know, I forgot I did play a lot of Yu-gi-oh in early 2024. And I don’t play TF2 as much this year. But Helldivers 2 (for democracy!) and Sweet Transit (🚂) are great games.

Etalus joins the roster next month in our first character update for Rivals II! The Glacier's Might returns in a FREE game update on January 21st. 🎁🎄 youtu.be/q6easkUIJaE

Here’s #sydney - Barangaroo and Martin Place, 14 days before Christmas. #photography

Not bad, not bad.

European Goldfinch.

These are stunning photographs!

HOLY CRAP! Mythwrecked is popping up on 'New and Trending' on the front page of Steam 😳

Opened this yesterday. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I just had the craziest comment about a bug on one of my game jam submissions on Itch.io. It's a game called Boulder Shift - my first game in Godot, made in two days. I'm already aware of some bugs. But quantum physics?! Sure, I think I know what they're talking about, but... huh??

There's been a LOAD of new folks on Bluesky since I created the 'Indie Game Publisher' starter pack as a resource for indie devs, so time for an update. If you're an indie game *publisher* then reply and I'll add you 👍🏻 Reposts welcome folks. go.bsky.app/DAoKtHj

So I started reading this book called "Gaming for Good" by Jude Ower and Mathias Gredal Norvig. It focuses on spreading awareness of climate change through gaming, but just by reading the first chapter that I already learnt a lot more of the games industry. IDK why I never heard of this book.

Ok! Ok!

Been stuck around high Silver-Gold rank. I’d still vote ROA2 for “Best Game you suck at.”

Steam’s on Bluesky now.

So I just downloaded Pokémon TCG Pocket, and I got this on my fourth pack. Pretty cool, I’d say.

Crazy crazy day, so many messages of love and support from amazing people I have had the pleasure to meet these past couple years. In total disbelief Balatro Game Awards nominations for: Best Mobile Game Best Independent Game Best Debut Indie Best Game Direction, AND Game of the Year

Sydney at night hits different.

Sweet Controller.

I made a pixel art upscaling/rotation algorithm called cleanEdge! It makes rotating pixel art as clean as possible torcado.com/cleanEdge I made a tool for it too! drop your sprites in and get some nice rotated or upscaled versions :)

Speaking of Fleet from Rivals of Aether II:

Congrats on the full release. I absolutely love this game! Only problem is that my friend JUST got back into Rivals of Aether 1, lol. Still, I recommend trying this game out. Already I’m enjoying playing as Fleet.
