Taking a pizza break. Have seen 28 games so far. Some standouts so far include Spies and Soldiers, Hexaquest, Grist, as always, Memory’s Reach, Peebli (OMG). Here is Lyndon being a kaiju in VR and trying to smash 4 other players.

Got interviewed by @misc_cutlet for The Big Issue piece on PAX Aus! In some fine company here. And so rare to have things in actual physical print these days, look forward to picking up a copy.

I made an auto-runner where instead of jumping you solve 80's adventure game puzzles! Welcome to TERMINAL CITY!

Let's try this. Welcome to the Indie Dev Digest, a newsletter for Australian and New Zealand developers!

Intrigued by this new Trailblazers game! Amazing art style and looks like interesting mix of gameplay in a fresh setting as well. One to watch!

[Strangers @strangers_games]

Could we have imagined that our trailer would rack up over 70k cumulative views in less than a week?

🙄 NO 🤩 In a dream perhaps

In the months since we finished Arcs, We've been hard at work on a new expansion for Oath. Though there is a lot of work ahead of us, I'm delighted to be able to share it with you all today.

Love looking behind the curtain at other folks procgen terrain systems! @lorenschmidt is getting some beautiful continent shapes and mountain ranges here.

[loren schmidt @lorenschmidt]

here's a run of my small testbed using piecewise rules for the terrain solver. this makes some regions gentle plains and others more corrugated foothills, while a third type sports tall mountains.

i was happy about the coincidental 🍉palette

@thoughtrise A Dark Room is so freaking GOOD. And just keeps getting better the further you play... Such a great example of text gaming done well.

[Ghostbat Games | Spies & Soldiers @ghostbat_games]

@wilbefast I actually picked up a copy of War of Whispers when that review came out! Haven't managed to get it to the table for a full game yet though. Some great ideas in there. Love to see another game base on a round map too... 😜

[Ghostbat Games | Spies & Soldiers @ghostbat_games]

@wilbefast Thanks for the shout out, means a lot from a fellow traveller! Those games are both touchstones... Dune boardgame is such an elegant marriage of theme+mechanic.
