The birds at Barangaroo man. Saw a seagull operating like a Navy SEAL with the way it extracted a piece of cheese from the centre of a Belles burger, no noise and gone in an instant.

If you're in Australia and you know where to get a copy of the International print edition of the New York Times, I would be indebted to you greatly. I tried about 7 newsagents across Sydney last week to no avail. I may be too late.

🦌 Today's New York Times Great Read is a story I've been writing in my brain for a few years now, about a 'silly deer game' and the man who has been building it since he was a kid. It's about growing up, making art, video games and life.

This is The Long, Long Way to the Woods.

He Made a Game About a Joyous Journey. He Also Got a Bit Lost.

Anthony Tan was 16 when his idea for a video game about a deer caught the industry’s eye. Nine years later, he’s still working on it.

New: Talking to Aus game developers this year I started hearing a phrase: "Survive until '25"

Wrote about the no good year, why many have struggled, some success stories and optimism... and what the outlook is for 2024 and beyond.

Don't like to make predictions... so I won't.

Australian video game developers have had a tough year. It might get worse before it gets better

Scopely didn't respond to questions about ICIP and consultation

PR said: "We are disappointed to learn that the inclusion of the Lizard Man overall in the album was not an accurate representation and didn't live up to the standards we set for ourselves."
