This great little Tassie-made game just launched into early access (and I did a little bit of tech art on it). Check it out!

welcome, new bluesky users 🫡 bsky.app/download
Soon we’ll be launching a change to how the block function works. If your posts are set to public, accounts you have blocked will be able to view them, but they will not be able to engage (like, reply, repost, etc.).

wild that we go through a vetting process of upwards of 4+ interviews, portfolio reviews, art tests, years learning the proprietary engines/tools not to mention the tribal knowledge development- only to be cut for a cynical business practice made to make the board feel good

The duality of my rigging talk at GCAP today. Thanks so much to everyone who came along! Hearing people found it helpful, and that they learned a bunch of new things, has made me very happy. Definitely a worthwhile experience

A mark of a true game developer. Is being able to congratulate other devs whether it be a game launch, a new patch. regardless of title Because what we do is built on collaboration and passion Negativity and ego doesn’t belong in this space

Let's try this. Welcome to the Indie Dev Digest, a newsletter for Australian and New Zealand developers! indie-dev-digest.beehiiv.com
With the collapse of Twitter, I've been finding it super difficult to know what's going on in ANZ, who is where, and who is working on what, and a bunch of people have echoed this. I think I'm going to make a newsletter, but is this something people want?

Breaking: Bethesda Game Studios workers have unionized. Not the same as the QA union. This time it’s “wall to wall”… “241 developers including artists, engineers, programmers and designers”, per the CWA. And they say Microsoft has recognized the union.

With Robodebt behind them, the Anti-Corruption Commission can now devote their time to letting much bigger fish off the hook.

Just a reminder folks: when you're shipping an Unreal Engine title you need to fill out the Release form *before* you release. It's literally only a couple of lines and affects your royalty exemption on the first $1 million USD. unrealengine.com/en-US/relea…

This should be a compulsory first slide in every boardroom presentation A decade ago, Satoru Iwata owned Nintendo's mistakes and took a pay cut to retain as much key talent in his company as possible Today's execs and bosses can only dream of having this level of integrity

The $375,000,000 Microsoft payout to known dog scum Bobby Kotick, could pay for the estimated salaries of both Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks employees combined for the next 17 and a half years
