Creative shots, here.
Phive, Parramatta, with the Alt: Games banner on display at the front.
A lot of games showcasing in the Phive basement.
Detective Ridelle by PuzzLab. A puzzle game that’s going into my Wishlist.
I discovered familiar and brand new games at the ALT: Games festival today.
Along with a bunch of games added to my Wishlist, I am proud to see the local games dev community grow.
Seems like a useful tool.
This is what I have been working on for the past decade 💅
ALT: GAMES is a new festival that brings together the Australian games community and industry. Featuring @dmullinsgames.bsky.social Richard Garfield @allyhennessy.bsky.social Playfool and atomo Kihara
Aside from the web panel feature which I never use anyway, the new additions + fixes are greatly appreciated.
I love this. Wonder how’s the ergonomics though.
I should start another Godot project… 🤔
My personal website already has a blog section, and uses the same Astro Content Collection feature. But the purpose of this project is to create a dedicated site for blogging.
Maybe I'll write for multiple topics on this site. There's still a couple things I like to fix/add though before publishing
- Dark theme is based on a derivative of the Nord color theme: 'Nord Wave' - github.com/DimitrisNL/n.... Light theme is DaisyUI's Corporate theme.
- Still deciding whether to keep writing posts with Astro Content Collections, or find a headless CMS solution to simplify writing.
I already developed my personal website - and now I've been working on another #website project in the past couple weeks. This time, it's a blog dedicated to travelling around Sydney.
Utilises Astro, DaisyUI, TailwindCSS, Leaflet + OpenStreetMaps, and based on the 'AstroMelody' theme.
WIP.
Godot 4.4 has reached the Release Candidate stage! All features are in, critical regressions fixed, and it’s ready for production use. We still need your help testing, so give it a try (remember to make backups!) and let us know if you find any issues 🚀

Fleet seems... lit? I didn't know Fleet ascended @rivals2.com.
Only present on Fleet's default palette.
I’m listening to Odetari’s “Keep Up” and “Run!” on repeat now.

Have a Happy New Year folks!

…again.
I can say, with confidence, that the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie
was absolute cinema.
Now if you excuse me, I’ll be listening to Crush 40 and other Sonic/Shadow OST music.

Merry Christmas folks!
Rivals of Aether II is also a fun game.
Not to be confused with Marvel Rivals, which I’ve been playing with friends a lot recently.
Y’know, I forgot I did play a lot of Yu-gi-oh in early 2024. And I don’t play TF2 as much this year.
But Helldivers 2 (for democracy!) and Sweet Transit (🚂) are great games.
Etalus joins the roster next month in our first character update for Rivals II!
The Glacier's Might returns in a FREE game update on January 21st. 🎁🎄 youtu.be/q6easkUIJaE
