Anybody for a round of Aqua Golf @ Marrickville Golf Course after all this rain? The Ibis are loving it.

Some eerie atmosphere after all the rain this week in Sydney. Even the cicadas are trying to escape it all.
There is some inspiration for Grove Keeper here for sure.

The Grove team got to check out the Alt games festival today at the powerhouse museum in Parramatta. It was so awesome to see all the super talented Australian developers. Looking forward to the next one, hopefully we can show off Grove Keeper there to!
