Last week @matt.sub-zerosound.com and myself hosted our 4th annual Indie BYOG Showcase @GDC! Sponsored by @massivemonster.bsky.social & Cam Rogers Legal.
We had over 25 games showcasing and many many people through the door! Thank you everyone who came and made the event what it was โค๏ธ
Rollick N' Roll on the radio!
PBS 106.7FM listeners recently got a tease of the Rollick N' Roll soundtrack by @richar-rest.bsky.social
Hosted by @matt.sub-zerosound.com, tune into Game Jams to be taken on a sonic sidequest to the outer edges of video game music.

Want to hear a couple of tracks from the Schrodinger's Cat Burglar soundtrack?
Game Jams has you covered - follow the link and you can hear "Maintenance Hub" and "Rift Research" by @dreamtrak.bsky.social :)

No no, thanks to you, Zander and Oli for the tunes!
I think I listened to Rift Research probably a dozen or so times before the show because it's such an earworm haha
First ever radio play ๐ฅน
So proud of my lil game jam track acting as the perfect underscore to @matt.sub-zerosound.com ๐ป

Very hard one to curate with all the stuff I wanted to play spanning so many different corners of the metal umbrella haha
Last night on my January PBSFM residency I presented a video game metal special.
Got to play a ton of brand new and unreleased music from upcoming Aussie indie games, including unreleased music from Nullstar: Solus, courtesy of @alecshea.com

Thanks mate! Also, if any of your music is online somewhere please lemme know!
This Queensland Games Festival wrap-up took 6 hours to write, so I hope it helps each game get at least 6 wishlists.
If you couldn't make it to the event yesterday, please have a read! Any reposts are greatly appreciated to increase local #indiegame visibility. ๐

I want to share this Kickstarter campaign from my local board game bar & cafe.
Pause Menu is moving and bringing a space built for TTRPGs and tabletop games to Melbourne.
My partner runs her mini-painting events here each month so I really want to see them find a new space!
I heard about this tomato juice @ altitude phenomenon so tried it on my flight home the other day. Was pretty good, but I never have it back home though so can't compare haha
