HEY 👇

so secretly we've been working with a cabal of indie devs making the type of strange & distinctive games that we love to play on noclip_2.

tomorrow we're announcing a SHOWCASE on noclip_2 as part of an upcoming Steam Festival about these games.

it's gonna be fun.
we hope you tune in.

FISHBOWL 💜 APRIL 2! 💜 Steam and PS5

It feels surreal to know that five years ago, in April 2021, the two of us started making Fishbowl. Even more surreal that five years later, it is going to be in your hands.

Mark your calendars for April 2nd and wishlist Fishbowl 🫶🏽🫶🏽

same, I woke up early to play before work! there are real concerns for my productivity

I am OBSESSED with Pokopia. Feral. Close enough, welcome back 2020.

Yes this is about Pokopia

Good morning! Yes, this is he

LOOK AT THIS ART THAT @untitledlucegame.bsky.social DID

Are you a game developer based in Australia or Aotearoa New Zealand with an exciting announcement to share with the world in early June?

Frosty Games Fest 2026 applications are OPEN NOW! 🍦

Oh no I'm under attack, I really like the colour 😭

Common Toot Games W 💪🏼

Hey if you’re worried you’re not doing great at your job today, know I just got a reply to a support ticket I opened in 2022

Cheeky first look at @buruthegame.bsky.social

I'll be yapping (what's new), and some of the team will be there too. 🥰

Turn on. Tune it. Drop out.
MIXTAPE debuts MAY 7, 2026.
Coming to PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Switch 2.

How do you launch a game as a service without a post launch run scheduled and budgeted? This keeps happening to an extent that I assume it’s part of the (stupid) plan.

Gonna open a restaurant, but if it’s not profitable by 7:30pm on day one, I’m gonna burn it down and blame the chef.

you know what Jon, I have never, ever wondered that. I hope you're alright!!!

So excited to announce that Strange Scaffold is sponsoring the Frosty Games showcases this year.

The degree to which ANZ teams go above and beyond to not just contribute to the medium, but also better the ecosystem of making games, can't be overstated!

wow wild I had this exact same convo with @samjarman.co.nz

Exciting news… The Frosty Games team is officially up and running for 2026! ❄️

This year we're working with two wonderful partners who share our passion for ANZ-made indie games, @nz-code.nz and @strangescaffold.bsky.social! 🎉

everyone say happy birthday to Loki 💚
