Because reasons, we needed to give Abe a bit more personality, so he didn’t seem like such an inert chainsaw type dude. Dan delivered with aplomb, as always. #indiegames #indiegamedevs #horrorgames #indiehorror

A lot of the business failures of the games industry are really rooted in this desire to create a product that dominates the market. The recent Amazon thing really highlights that: they wanted to create a product that outperformed Steam, but they didn't understand Steam or what the audience wanted.

PAX AUS 2025 – Bullet Hell Genre Mashups | Player2.net.au
PAX AUS 2025 - Bullet Hell Genre Mashups I’m not great with twin stick control schemes, so I’ve never entirely understood how people can love (or play … or even understand) the bullet hell genre. This deficit is most likely because I’m just slightly too old to have grown up with modern consoles and controllers.

One minute into Headlice demo and I was in love! This is reverse horror-comedy at its finest: best use of ragdoll physics and parasite behaviour mechanics with a hilarious corpo satire background too. Dan said it was his favourite game at PAX. Check it out now store.steampowered.com/app/2851800/...
Headlice on Steam
Headlice is a reverse horror game where you play as an escaped biological abomination fleeing an inept corporation. Embrace your parasitic nature and become the monster you were meant to be.

Love #MIGW, and loved being able to contribute to this piece on edgy out means so much to us, as gamers, and developers, and human beings.
Melbourne International Games Week is next week!
Govt estimations say it will draw more of a crowd than the AFL Grand Final this year -- one of the city's largest events.
I look at what makes this event so special and ask those in the industry what they are attending and why.
