TERRY @tezamondo.bsky.social · 4d

I was lucky enough to speak with Jo about Games Week, the local community, making games in 2025 and Paper House.

But more importantly, it feels really special seeing all the amazing people working out of PH and their galaxy brains.

Please have a read and hope you all enjoy MIGW!!!!!

Paper House @paperhousegames.com · 4d

A bunch of people working out of Paper House were interviewed for this wonderful piece written by Josefina Huq (@josefinahuq.bsky.social) for Well Played.

The article features a huge amount of insight from local developers and the importance of 'showing up' 💪

Hello bluesky, we're Intarsia Interactive!

We're a video game studio based in Naarm/Melbourne. We reckon making games should be fun, weird & authentic.

This year we've been working on a secret project (!!! you'll hear more soon) and now we're working on something strange & new

We've got some great news to share!

Our next game, Pixel's Mysterious Mysteries, has been backed by @ukgamesfund.bsky.social for the Prototype Fund!

We've been silently working on the project but with their backing we'll be able to get a solid first playable developed

Psyched to show progress🖤

An in-game render test of Pixel standing in her office, point light shining down on her face. 2 Smells can be read, one is the smell of Laurel, the other is a bit more obscured and needs to be investigated further.

Your handy dandy Deteco is going to catalogue your mysteries as you interrogate and gather details. Pull it up at any time to retrace your steps or visualise the timeline of events.

i used this to try out panel lining! not many places to do it in but good practice anyway. the stickers arent very nice so would be a good set to go fully painted!
