I've been mulling over the idea of trying to get developers to build new games in existing environments. They're so expensive to build, reusing them would be so cool.

ALT: GAMES – Annual Games Festival ALT: GAMES is an annual festival to celebrate the Australian gaming community and industry, see and play upcoming indie games, talk to developers and join in on interactive activities suitable for all...

The regional games events in the States and Territories here in Australia are really stepping up. Not only are they showcasing local games, but delivering talks from developers and educating the local scene.

The program for ALT GAMES in Sydney looks great!

BING BONG. So, @aggrocrabgames.bsky.social and @landfall.se were very kind to allow Bing Bong into the Teeto universe…

You have to do him justice. Get him to the top. No excuses.

A large takeaway coffee cup with Banjo's written in it sits on a table next to a brown paper bag with a toasted ham and cheese croissant in it. Breakfast of champions at a Tasmanian institution.
