Hi Casey!
I'm currently working on a game together with my wife and a couple of friends. It's called Burn With Me!
It's a narrative deckbuilder where you need to burn your cards. A lot. Also animal university, ancient rituals and eerie mysteries!

This is actually so devastating given the space within games Freeplay actively vocalizes for experimentation and the craft of making games as more than just product!!!!!

It's not just the games themselves that are suffering in the current funding drought, it's so disheartening to consistently be seeing the lack of financial support for events and organisations that provide support to the wider local industry.

This is crazy, right after SXSW too, and in Vic which has the reputation of being more stable for games than other states. Ditto Jeremy, I really hope it can continue. I'll never forget speaking at Parallels 24.
