Last week or so has definitely caught up with me today, but can I just say how proud I am that Rita is out in the world finally! It also *just* hit 50 reviews on Steam, which is incredible. Learned a lot on this one 🥹🐣💛

I'm so very grateful for PeopleMakeGames giving me a platform to speak about the impact the dismissal from Rockstar has had on my family because it has been profound. We miss our dogs more than anything in the world and would do anything to have them both back. Unfortunately that cannot happen.

I think it’s craven to run Todd Howard fluff pieces before the body is even cold on those thousands of jobs.
I wrote a piece for @harrisonpolites.bsky.social's Infinite Lives. Lots of cool people took time out of their busy schedule to talk to me about Game Jams (this could have been three times as long with the wealth of information and insight they provided). Check it out! substack.com/home/post/p-...
From Hungry Knight to Hollow Knight: Lessons from the Game Jams behind Australia's greatest hits
As layoffs and AI rock the industry, Jams have become a vital, low-stakes proving ground for great local games.

Love love love a UTM link! Getting people to your Steam page is half the battle but knowing where they are coming from allows you to see where your social strategy should prioritise 👀 Steam also lets you test links if you’re unsure if they are connecting properly!
Happy four year anniversary to our beloved Queer Man Peering. A game that completely changed the trajectory of our lives. 😘😘 It was such a difficult development, but after four years of working on Janet I’m starting to think that maybe that’s an ‘us thing’. store.steampowered.com/app/1711420/...

Our daughter asked to play Teeto “one last time” because she thought that by other people being able to get it soon meant she wouldn’t have it anymore 😭 (she knows now) Teeto launches worldwide on Steam in about 13 hours! It’s also available on PlayStation 5 and Switch 1/2! #indiegame #gamedev

Very few (close to zero) career gamedevs realistically get to choose what games they end up working on. Working on a cool and/or successful game is not an inherent reflection of the skills of the individual in question.
