Another brilliant #IndieDev Night - so many creative local games!
Finally caught up with @nathanhoad.net, who made a unique build of Mighty Coconut, complete with an absolutely adorable pixel art version of the event.
Also loved the style of One More Trail, an upcoming narrative Western.
A collage of 3 images. Instruments on the top, a view from the back of the crowd in the middle, and most of the band playing underneath.
We did it! Last week, Sound Processing Unit performed the soundtrack to Crash Bandicoot 2 Live and it was a blast! It took a lot of work to get it all happening, but in the end it all came together. Thanks to everyone who came along, it was great to see the room so packed ๐ vids in the thread ๐งต

I'm proud to announce that Bravest Coconut has the support of Screen Australia - a big thanks to everyone involved. This will definitely help Bravest Coconut towards being the best game that it can be.

So proud and excited for everyone but ESPECIALLY Bravest Coconut by @nathanhoad.net and Nothing to Do Summer Vacation part 1 by Mel Stringer & Adam Prenger ๐ฅน๐๐ฎ
this is just a masterclass in why you shouldnโt believe news outlets reporting on police violence. just literally ignoring the most clear video evidence you could ask for. the only thing missing is the guy yelling โshooting specifically that woman now.โ
Hardcoded credentials in the Signal archiving tool used by the White House is a five-alarm security dumpster fire.
โPeter Dickโ Is a good start but I think @abcnewsnetau.bsky.social should let @antonygreenelec.bsky.social drop one c bomb on air for retirement sake. #auspol #ausvotes

A cat sitting smugly atop a soundbar. She knows doing so will garner her attention as her little paws will mess with the touch controls mounted on the top of the soundbar.
Dear soundbar manufacturers (or any fixed electronics manufacturers) please make a way for users to disable touch buttons completely. My cat will, at best, change inputs and adjust sound when she wants attention; at worst, factory resets it and clears the wifi/smart-home pairing.

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain
