I’ve been making games for around a decade and have been drawing my entire life! You might have seen my work in Kinder World, 420BLAZEIT:2, and Frosty Games Fest💚

Thank you @theboyofcheese.bsky.social for capturing me having a real moment of this charging situation

Luce✨ ➡️ SXSW Sydney @lucymute.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah, yeah Brennan Lee Mulligans keynote was great and really resonated with me, but a real highlight of today was how some icon was charging their phone at SXSW

A frankly amazing unattended charging set up of a phone resting on its own charge plug

really sucks to see high profile artists embracing AI and acting like it's not a big deal. I dont care how many $200,000 drawings you've sold, you are also replaceable to these AI freaks

Here is a player facing spreadsheet of 150 indie games from PAX. Aus, NZ and SE Asia. Game name, steam (or other) link, demo y/n, genre, comments (which I'm editing). Please share. Let's work together to connect people to Aussie indies. I'm going to tag people next. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Only a select few at SXSW may ask me about my Sims 2 uberhood. An even more select few may ask to see the corresponding spreadsheet

Similar to my post about "liberation means even for that annoying guy you hate" - weird art includes art you personally don't get, don't like, wouldn't spend money on, find unsettling. Games you wouldn't play. Books you wouldn't read. Decommercialise your preconceptions of what art deserves to exist

Everyone saying "make weird art!" you better fucking mean it. There better not be an unspoken "but not too weird" tacked on at the end.

More than happy to volunteer to be one half of a Statler and Waldorf duo to heckle speakers if that’s on the table

With Darwin and Wellington in the bag tomorrow I fly to Sydney for @sxswsydney.com

I'm around all week, doing a panel on publishing, a talk on running your indie game as a small business, mentoring, and looking for games to publish.

Say hello, don't make me "Jonny-no-mates".

Massive crowd in Melbourne/Naarm today (in case you thought this movement was going to be placated with more colonisation). Until the occupation ends. Until Western war criminals and their enablers face justice. Until Palestine is free.
