For those of you outside of Melbourne and Australia in the games industry. Parallels is one of the most positive and optomistic events for games, I come away from it every year thinking "huh video games are pretty good"
The Parallels 2025 recording is live! Whether you want to revisit a favourite talk or see the show for the first time, it's available on our channel now:

WE HAVE A NEW WEBSITE

This has consumed around 4 months of my life. We've rebuilt the business from the ground-up. New site, new backend, new customer experience, new platform, new everything.

we spent two years flailing, having no idea how to run a business. now...we have more of an idea.
Despite the ravages of age and an internet steeped in misinformation, your eyes – in this one case – do not deceive you: Website different. It’s taken an immense amount of time and effort, but welcome to Aftermath version 2.0:

I visited Bratislava this weekend, capital of Slovakia. There was a small store called "the oldest store in town" that had, also, a small museum inside.
There was the most inpressive collection of cash registers I 've seen so far! Perfect for inspiration!

Tuscany is a magical place — warm, sunny and earthy. I toured through this summer and fell in love with the rolling fields, white gravel roads and iconic skinny Cypress trees. Enjoy!
