Hey folks! I'm excited to announce that I'm hosting two PlayStation Independent Partners sessions at MIGW this year for the first time, and I would love to see some familiar faces in the crowd!

The first session is at 11am on Monday as part of GCAP, and will be available to conference attendees.

One is on Monday at 11am at GCAP and is available to GCAP attendees, and the other will be on Wednesday morning, made possible by the wonderful folks at VicScreen. Signups for the latter are coming very soon, and I'll post here when they're available.

I can't wait to see some of you out there!

I've been using social media much less lately, but I'm popping back to mention that I'm gonna be back in Melbourne for MIGW, and I'm hugely excited to be hosting a couple of talks for the first time! Both are about how to get going with PlayStation and sharing best practices, followed by a Q&A.

Floorboards are bathed in red light as if from a door, illuminating the front of a figure on their knees. The figure sits in the centre of a pentagram of candles, arms outstretched, mouth wide and face obscured. The flames from the candles billow in ribbons across the frame. The shadow cast by the figure is demonic with unholy limbs grasping painfully. Small singed cards float in the air around the figure. Text in the shadow reads ‘Malys’. A green banner reads 'Just launched Kickstarter'.

Only logging in to Bluesky specifically to shout about how good Blue Prince is because it's been the only thing on my mind in the last week and I can't believe quite how good the game is and I just want to talk about it with everyone but also nobody at the same time and theorise but not spoil oh and

Back in 2021, PMG reported on the unseen games industry crunch taking place at outsourcing studios in SE Asia.

Since then, the companies we looked at have continued to work on some of the biggest games in the world, without any push to improve the conditions of the artists doing that work. (1/7)

The video thumbnail for PMG's original documentary, showing a white, American hand clasping cash in exchange for the labour of a Southeast Asian workforce, represented here as being weighed down by their immense workload.

I am honestly so stoked that it wasn't a complete walkover like I expected it to be - semi-sliced in particular really made me giggle as I submitted it. Thanks for playing 💙

Today's Real Bird Fake Bird comes from someone whose love for video games is only sometimes outmatched by his love for a good sandwich.

It's me. I did it. Go play!
