Hey gang! Are there any Melbourne/Victoria-based 3D modellers looking for short contract work right now? Summerfall is currently on the lookout for contractors to do hard-surface environment work for a new prototype, like furniture and all that. 🔨🪑

Send through portfolios! 🙂 Cheers!

Hi AU-based marketing and biz dev friends!

I'm still looking for $5k AUD to help make
@frostygamesfest.com events happen again this year. We have some sponsorship locked, but need to make up a shortfall 🍦💰

If you'd like to chat pls email or DM me! amy at hellomisspotter dot com

Jack what!! you're working on control??

I've become such a fan of Control and Alan Wake, I'm so looking forward to this 👀

git gud is a common gamer phrase. it means "become a good person."

the Michelin man is kinda like a Greek god in the sense that he presides over tires and which restaurants are good

I always think similar when it comes to piracy or 'theft' in general - like if people aren't able to pay or wouldn't have access otherwise then it's not anything that's actually taken away? If anything it makes it more accessible and reaches more people

Everyone excited to buy a Steam Machine.

I know what my custom faceplate will be for the new Steam Cube already

Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

I started peacemaker really not sure if I would like it and it really grew on me, it's so good!

John Cena is knocking it out of the park imo

I'm coming back for the week! Keen for a catch up for sure

Devs, there's just one week left to submit your game for @theindiegameawards.gg consideration! Nominations close on Sep 30, at midnight ET.

Team Frosty are so excited to be working with The Indie Game Awards team to curate the 'ANZ Indie Game Award' this year.

The Indie Dev Digest A monthly newsletter for digital game developers across Australia and New Zealand, primarily in the independent games space.

Octobers gigantic Indie Dev Digest is coming up!

I intend to send out the mailing list right before October kick off - so please get your submissions in if you have an event during MIGW or SXSW or for October in general!

It would be really helpful to get an indication from any devs with key news (game announcement, surprise release, or a first demo launch) that would be aligned to a DECEMBER timeframe.

If you can pls DM me, that would be very helpful! TY!

I realise posting this on a Saturday is not ideal, but, hear me out.

We are trying very hard to keep Frosty alive, and even grow it into something more helpful for ANZ based devs, long term 🍦

I did too! I'll see you there 😊

I missed out last year - keen to see what it'll be like 👀

this "passion tax" appears all over the place & should be talked about more. you see it in book stores and game stores all the time

excitement for particular work is constantly weaponized to depress wages & pit workers against each other

the more this keeps happening (also looking at prime here), the more I'm tempted to go back to the seven seas 🏴‍☠️

this looks great actually?? I love that it's entirely personal and not even remotely trying to be objective

what's mike's rating system? 👀

yeah I go back and forth a lot - it can feel weird and counter-intuitive to me trying to quantify art within a system like that to determine if it's good or not when that's not the point of that experience.

and then weird again seeing studios fund and make movies just to work in that system

Letterboxd has been both the best and worst for me. Logging movies and seeing what others think is nice - but now I'm in a (I think bad) habit of constantly being like "how many stars was it? is it 4 or 4 and a half? or 1 star but I liked it?" rather than just enjoying without overthinking sometimes

You know I would lol
