PAX 2025.xlsx

Here is a player facing spreadsheet of 150 indie games from PAX. Aus, NZ and SE Asia. Game name, steam (or other) link, demo y/n, genre, comments (which I'm editing). Please share. Let's work together to connect people to Aussie indies. I'm going to tag people next. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Meg and her son Lyndon together are the Michael Jordan of covering indies at PAX Aus, a generational family work ethic. Incredible stuff. Commission Meg now, I know from first hand experience that she can write compellingly about any one of these 150 (!!!) games.

I am still figuring out logistics (and Rami has kindly offered to help a lil!), but Iโ€™ve been putting together a means for game devs to present GDC-style โ€˜talksโ€™ on @playwatchlisten.bsky.social. When itโ€™s public, devs will be able to submit a topic for consideration, and will be paid for their time!

Just went back to my old high school to be on a panel about careers in the creative industries. I wish I had something like that when I was a student there! Hope I helped even just one person in making the reality of a creative career a bit more visible
