GenAI isn't a useful placeholder when making video games. It doesn't save time, and it actively stifles the creative process.
Here's what local devs think: @untitledlucegame.bsky.social @mickey.ghoulish.com.au @madmacsfuryroad.bsky.social @theboyofcheese.bsky.social @tdogextreme.bsky.social + more.

A combined banner for #RelaxingEvent 2026 and Burger Bois. The RelaxingEvent banner depicts a woman cozied up on the floor under a blanket with her tabby cat, playing a game on the laptop on the coffee table in front of her. She's wearing a gaming headset and surrounded by cute soft toys and plants. The Burger Bois banner depicts main characters Patty and Fry standing back to back inside the window of their food truck. Patty is cheerfully presenting a freshly designed burger, whilst Fry looks over at her, holding up a spatula as he's ready to cook the next one.
Here at Mischief Makers Studio, we're into relaxmaxxing. Vibemaxxing. Chillmaxxing. We even made it a feature in Burger Bois.
Which is why we're HYPE to be taking part in @rogueduck.net 's #RelaxingEvent 2026!

The fun thing about making a game based on real world food properties is sometimes you're like "OH NO my evaluation system is broken, it thought that burger wasn't gluten-free!"
and then you go to check and realise, no, BBQ Sauce just has gluten in it.

Look who's on the menu, bois! We'll be dropping a new feature reveal as part of next week's Global Foodie Faire Steam Event. Keep your eyes peeled! 👀
just your average day working in hospitality
this is exactly what i remember working in hospo looked like
An illustration of an old CRT computer sits on a floating island, surrounded by other floating islands full of game tropes like fishing, unicorns, warriors in combat. The computer screen says "Flash Game Vibes", and the Burger Bois banner art (depicting Patty having an epiphany about a burger design) sits alongside it.
Burger Bois is a love letter to all the games we grew up with - which is why we're stoked to be taking part in the #FlashGameVibes Steam event!
thank you everyone for your suggestions!! here's all the big aussie and nz-made games you should watch this year!!
Oh I really like that idea! Food orders that are a bit vague and let you explore more of the artistry inherent in cooking.
yessssss! So often cooking in games is about the choppy-choppy food prep, or the x + y = z of recipes.
We wanted to explore the ideas that go into designing delicious food. 😁 ...and sometimes undelicious food, when those ideas backfire. 🙈
Thanks #ShowCasey!
