It's NAIDOC week so Mexico should win.

Curious about Buru's origin story? Take a peek at this story from @news.abc.net.au who spoke to @barmearme.bsky.social about Buru, and to many other talented First Nations game-makers we're honoured to be included alongside 🖤💛❤️

First Nations creators tell Indigenous stories through video games

Wait ... what!? An Arts minister that ranted in parliament about me being a threat to multiculturalism & social cohesion, after withdrewing my award + funding, then used me as a decoy to destroy a very successful national Indigenous writers & editorial cadet program, is an anti-Indigenous racist?

It's done. She's out now: jadedsynic.itch.io/her-bloody-c... If you're in the market for some sapphic scare-rousal, I have you covered! More links for Amazon, Ingram, and other ebook outlets... soon™ Make sure you drop a follow to @juimon.bsky.social and @lilitufray.bsky.social for their work!

We're brainstorming @frostygamesfest.com's total world domination at the moment, so if anyone has need for a Frosty shaped collaboration, panel appearance, talk or otherwise we would love to hear from u!!! hello at frostygamesfest dot com 🍦

The reach of Frosty this year is blowing my mind a bit. Not just in terms of the results (spoiler, they were good!) but that people I would never have expected to have seen the showcase (without me really trying to get them to watch it) have seen the showcase. We're doing it!!! ANZ GAMES RULE!

Janet's new demo is part of Next Fest, and we have absolutely zero GenAI. If we wanted slop we could make it ourselves, thank you very much! store.steampowered.com/app/2168480/...
