Our Beetols They Do It key art is so fabulous and a really special collaboration between two of our team members @exhaustedalien.bsky.social and @ror-ree.bsky.social It has been such a privilege to get to use it across events (BitSummit and National Insect Expo) and all over our Steam page!

An explanation on why Big Walk isn't available on Xbox. bigwalk.game/xbox

I don't think companies realize this yet but going "complete AI game development" isn't giving "the future" it's giving "we're broke." Like y'all just don't want to pay wages.

some key art I made for Beetols in collaboration with the insanely talented @ror-ree.bsky.social

Some delightful amazing weird and wiggly games you can play at ACMI this weekend! (Wait? could that be? surely not? doth mine eyes deceive me? is that...)

👀🪲❤️ Woah what's this weird exclusive game demo for "Beetols They Do It" doing at Parallel Play? I wonder if you catch beetles 🐞, build them a town🏡, help them make best friends 😘 etc. (hypothesis only) You should go play it at ACMI on Friday the 9th, and check out all these other incredible games✨

I've dreamed about having a game in a museum for years so WOW it's finally happening!! we freaking made it to the big leagues!!

I was absolutely devastated to not be able to talk about my wild journey starting a studio & family at @takingupspacegames.bsky.social today (or attend!) due to illness 😭 So instead I'ma take up some space in your bsky right now 🧵

My energy levels leading up to MIGW are so great, I swear

Can't believe it is already time for #MIGW! @intarsia.studio have just finished bumping in to expo Beetols They Do It TOMORROW!

So picture needing to get help opening a stuck jar lid but instead it is me needing help to cut open a packet of noodles because I've misplaced my left-handed scissors.

Our launch trailer is entirely in Black and White. Because marketing isn't real, we wanted it to look like a short of the period film.

People aren't buying into the torment nexus idea enough. Let's rename it to the 'super' torment nexus!

Mixtape's failstate is talking about Mixtape not having a failstate.

Announcing: Freeplay is here to stay. Parallels 2026 is coming and we're advocating for games to be funded as art. Read more and get involved: freeplay.net.au/posts/freepl...

The fact AI is doing more harm to games by increasing the cost of PCs & consoles than AI actually being able to 'make' anything worth playing is certainly a fun little thing to think about whilst I start planning to optimise everything I make to run on a potato.

An update: Unfortunately Freeplay didn’t secure multi-year funding and is potentially looking at its last year of operation. We’re exploring what comes next & want your input. Read our full statement here: www.freeplay.net.au/survey2026 Help us decide our next step here: forms.gle/W4ZSns1bGCX1...

The Mushka is out of the bag! 🐾 Mushka is your cute lil' friend that lives in Board - a new tabletop game console that blends board games & video games (board.fun) We've had so much fun working with the incredible Board team to bring Mushka to life, we can't wait for you to meet 'em ✨

Indie sleuth @firkraags.bsky.social continues to highlight her PAX Aus 2025 highlights, this time with a couple of bullet hell games that caught her eye. www.player2.net.au/2025/10/pax-...

🔥 Malys is OUT NOW in 1.0! 🔥 For a game about demons, you've all been absolute angels - thank you for your support along the way & we're so happy to share Malys' full release with you 🖤 Check out the launch trailer and then get exorcising below!

I can’t believe I’m going to say this but LEGO Party is absolutely better than Mario Party.

I've been hanging out here, working with these legends!

This is what I've been busy working on this past year! I can't express how stoked & lucky I feel to be running a studio with such madly talented folk.

Announcing... DOGPILE!!! ✨🦴 Dogpile is a roguelike deckbuilder about merging DOGS. Play dogs, get money, customize your dogs with special traits, refine your deck, PLAY MORE DOGS! Free demo is live on Steam, WISHLIST NOW!!! store.steampowered.com/app/3839300/...

Intarsia Interactive is founded by @cheriedavidson.bsky.social and myself. The team we've assembled is so talented and it has been enriching to get to collaborate with them all. I'm looking forward to being able to talk about what we've been up to this year (soonTM) as well as what we're doing next.

✨Isle of Feathers is launching TODAY ✨ In a mere six hours, this game about strange birds will be out in the world! We’re aiming to stream the countdown to launch on the Isle of Feathers FB page (rb.gy/ctk31d), so check it out if you wanna join us and celebrate together! 🕺🏽 #kickstarter #boardgames

Very excited to be part of both of these projects

LEGO Party! is announced! I had a blast working on this with so many great people at SMG. As part of the minigames team we put so much time, effort and love into crafting and improving each minigame and I'm so, so proud of what we accomplished. Please check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjaQ...

We are so, so close to the finish line with just ~20% to go. If you have even remotely considered backing Malys at any stage or you like the work Summerfall does or even just me as a person, please become a backer. Every bit helps. <3

Help summon (kickstart) this game if you can!! Summerfall makes great stuff and we all deserve see and play the narrative deck building game full of demons, exorcisms and more that they would make for us 1 hour to go!!

Some weeks ago I had the immense privilege of learning all about the origins of Freeplay directly from its co-founder Katharine Neil. The scope of the feature could only accommodate a fraction of her amazing stories. It was SUCH a treat to hear them! www.gameshub.com/news/feature...

This is actually how I got my first start in the industry - spinning signs at the airport for wishlists
