Stubbornly made
The most interesting thing I learned is that he couldn't afford a post production house for rendering and PDV, so he turned the bathroom in his apartment into a render farm by buying computer parts off ebay fighting crypto farmers to get the cards he needed.

As tradition, Eric, Liezl and I caught up as the three amigos of @waypoint-events.com to dream about keeping Sydney bold and prosperous for game making.

This year was pure joy and we worked incredibly hard. What we’re building for 2026 is something special and jaw dropping. Stay stubborn.

1. Vanisher, Horizon Scraper - Quadeca

Albums that transport us and prioritise immersion have always had a special place in my heart. A sailor faring the seas, surrendering to his heart, and journeying back and forth. A gorgeous experience with moments I'll never forget. You MUST listen to this ❤️

2. TREK - Shady Nasty

Tough cars, Hume Highway, 6-pack of V, arms pumped like a roadmap. Shady Nasty ARE the sound of Sydney. After a decade of defining the sound of Sydney their debut album feels like all the lessons bundled together in making a classic alternative album (more below)

3. Getting Killed - Geese

A miracle album, which has made alternative rock relatable and cool again for the modern person. Cam Winters' croons and vocal inflections are so intoxicating. I can feel the emergence of a new sound/vibe so strongly here. The birth of our generation-defining sound

4. I Love My Computer - Ninajirachi

Being online you're entire life can alter the way you see reality. Aside from that I feel the memories of what Nina exumes on this so personally. Listening to songs on the ipod touch that matter to you and no one else. Honing a craft alien to everyone....

5. BLUSH - Kevin Abstract

BLUSH feels like the summers of a lifetime ago, friend groups that no longer exist, a nostalgic trip, a return back to home. While I can't really connect to TEXAS I feel the eternal pull of home and connection to home in this album. Much like the art you melt into the bg

Constellations is a cultural statement about the value of our game makers, their stories and their craft. When it comes to game dev, Sydney can sometimes be a quiet city, but Constellations gives our local developers permission to be loud and share what makes them special.

This year has been enormous for me, and pieces of that journey are sewn into the show. Saying goodbye to the world we built was harder than expected cause it hurts to see it again, but seeing shirts around the city and hearing people talk about the night showed its real impact.

Thank you to every developer and speaker who shared their work. Your presence shaped the heart of the night and reminded everyone how much talent lives here.

So we built a world with intention, emotion, design depth and an obsessive level of detail. We wanted people to step through the doors and be transported. Constellations is a love letter to NSW game development disguised as an event.
