FINS 2025 @voidrantsback @code_nz

We all had such a wonderful time being all together for @DunedinFINS last weekend! 🧡 A big thank you to @code_nz for giving us the opportunity to learn more about storytelling in games from a great lineup of speakers; and to network with more fellow game developers! 🥳

We had a great time at @DunedinFINS this past weekend! What a pleasure to have this on our front doorstep, we can't wait for future festivals! 💖

Thanks to all of our wonderful speakers, visitors and volunteers for #2023. It was very heartening to see such support from the interactive narrative and adjacent communities. Not to mention this chaotic moment with Rick Stemm and the @PikPokGames team! #FINS2023 @code_nz
