Anyone who has written a book has recently started getting dozens of emails a week from 'book promoters', heaping suspiciously similar praise, but highlighting marketing flaws. but what happens if you actually reply?

We have a new game on Ludolio today , The Masters Pupil by Pat Naoum, a hand-painted puzzle game set inside Claude Monet's eyeball. Think Limbo but beautiful and calm, rather than harrowing.

I love any game that gets me on Wikipedia looking at Claude Monet paintings!! If your library subscribes to www.ludolio.com (our new platform that lets libraries lend games) you can play The Masters Pupil for free, or buy it now on Steam.

As Rhiannen Austin writes, its "a visually stunning world that immerses players in the atmosphere of Monet’s art. The emotional storytelling of the game has to be celebrated too – the small nods to Monet’s life and inspirations of his work are beautiful." www.well-played.com.au/the-masters-...

Welcome to Ludolio, Queer Man Peering Into a Rock Pool.jpg by @fuzzyg.host . Can't wait to get students to play you!

"Odd, garish and gleefully camp." A great review of it by Kieron Verbrugge here: press-start.com.au/features/202...

I'm barely finding the time to keep up with all the games we're adding to Ludolio at the moment, but ... i'm a little rusty at Nuclear Throne

& what happens next in Webbed is worthy of an hour long lecture on affordance theory. hillarious. and unlike Key Fairy, this game certainly doesnt have a spider-free mode!!!

Tonight i'm playing 🏭 FACTORY 95 🏭, which was just published on Ludolio (our new games platform that lets libraries lend games). Macrobit Interactive's automation sim rebuilds the whole feel of Windows 95, just supremely clever reimagining of the factory-sim.

As this Windows Central review summarises - "deceptively simple to play but complicated to master" - & hints at the looming risk of Y2K and even more to explore if you keep playing, www.windowscentral.com/gaming/this-...

The fixed, limited canvas is almost claustrophobic; the production chains become messy and entangled; but I found this one really pleasant to jump into because everything was easily fixable. Lots of depth, but a nice intro to the genre too.

Had a chance to play Key Fairy today, which is available now on Ludolio! Owl Machine's ink-illustrated, pacifist bullet-hell about a tiny fairy untangling a cursed forest, one of the best-reviewed indies of the year, now available for classroom and library licensing.

"Pacifist-bullet hell" means you evade instead of fighting, subverting the genre. A strange and lovely world to explore by @soyoudontneedto.bsky.social . Checkpoint has a great review: checkpointgaming.net/reviews/2026...

Happy to finally share a project we’ve been working on: www.ludolio.com, a digital game distribution platform that lets University libraries lend commercial games like ebooks.

All Universities are different, but you can expect your library to pay for Ludolio, similar to subscribing to Kanopy or JSTOR. We are launching with only 20 games (mostly Australian indie games), but the more institutions that sign on, the more games we can bring on.

We hope this is good for game developers too, providing a new sustainable source of revenue for games that are artistic, creative or educationally relevant. Devs can choose wether to implement DRM or not, and 70% of our revenue goes back to developers based.

I've thought for a while USYD should have a game design club, so we seed funded it for a year. We expected 10-15 students hanging out, making games in a room, with a paid mentor. Over 570 students signed up (!) and 120+ turned up to our first session last Friday. Wild enthusiasm.
