So, Apple has locked out my account... for no reason. Support cannot help. Anyone got an escalation path?

I fear having a jam that runs for like 2 weeks is giving me too much time to add absolute nonsense to the game...

Started work on my silly Dungeon Support Group game for @tasgamemakers.com #TasJam2025... you play a wizard who attended a seminar on counselling once, and now has to help a bunch of ex-dungeon monsters. Using @yarnspinner.dev for #Godot!

#gamejam #gamedev
A 2D dungeon pixel art game running in Godot's debug mode. A wizard with a blue hat stands next to a goblin. There is dialogue that says "Like, am I really a monster? Or am I just... pretending?"

Received the “Young” Alumni Award from UTAS today. Thanks, VC! Very honoured, also very embarrassed.

To Melbourne!
A very wide image of an airport apron. Carts are going by with baggage, people are deplaning, and workers are unloading and loading bags. It says WELCOME TO HOBART on the airport building in the background, and an Air BP refueling vehicle and a Virgin Australia 737-800 are visible.
