This is an actual storyboard for Evil Dead 2. People don't need AI to make beautiful art.
Sam Raimi didn't strap a Super 8 camera to a 2x4 so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

This really is tremendous leadership from Freeplay, and the kind of thing that has been glaringly missing from the games sector. This stuff is really important, so games people, do not let this moment go to waste.
Submissions to the National Cultural Policy close next Sunday 24 May. We need as many studios, gamemakers and sector support organisations to put in submissions. Freeplay's helpful guide on making a submission can be found here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
I’ll be in Kyoto next week for Bitsummit, if anyone wants to catchup in a Lawson car park for an onigiri and a yap 🙏
Happy birthday, Dad. Wish you were here. You’d know what to do. Or at least you’d know what to write. ❤️
Honoured to be acknowledged by @tasgamemakers.com for contribution to the Tassie games sector, definitely feeling the love after Level Up Tas 🥹🫶

Leaving Hobart with a full heart 🥰💖 The huge success of @screentasmania.bsky.social's Level Up TAS is a sign of the strength and health of the incredible Tasmanian gamemaking scene. Y'all have so much to be proud of 💕💕
Lovely to see @firkraags.bsky.social in Tassie, thanks for the writeup!
Level Up Tasmania was an opportunity to see more of the detail; where the interesting, individual threads of art and games, people and cultures, are woven into our nation’s larger rug @screentasmania.bsky.social @firkraags.bsky.social #LevelUpTasmania REVIEW www.sifter.com.au/post/level-u...
Once official photos are developed or whatever happens these days I’ll do a teary thank you celebration post, but the short of it - Level Up was the best.
We didn’t just expo, we helped organise things. Couldn’t have done any of it without my amazing wife, @themartianlife.com, who took some of her annual leave to help, and single-handedly ran the Minecraft competition and booth, amongst so much else. And of course the amazing @olipotter.bsky.social!

I'm heading to Hobart tomorrow to speak at Level Up Tasmania. Any suggestions regarding what I should do or see while I'm there? I hear a lot of things about Tas, but... most of them can't be true, surely.
