5 years today since we released Untitled Goose Game. Thank you for playing our videogame. 🥲 To mark the occasion, something from the goose archive — a proof-of-concept for a hypothetical Untitled Goose Programme made back in 2021. (full video linked below)

In 2023 I completed my PhD, after 6 years — my thesis explored the uneasy situation of videogames behind the scenes of a public museum. You can read it here: michaeljmcmaster.com/McMasterThesis…

Now that we're back on here, we want to express our support for the Palestinian people, and their right to self-determination, safety and happiness. An end to this genocide. An end to apartheid. Free Palestine.

@BRKeogh lmao

@dangolding @BRKeogh I liked the bit where he clarified that as well as killing people in videogames you also kill goblins

Would like to thank @BRKeogh for his part in this frankly very funny radio interview (from about 2:40:00) which opens with the pearler "videogames - I know almost nothing about them except that people kill people" abc.net.au/adelaide/progr…

this has been said before but the best and simplest thing the government could do to support the cultural production of videogames in Australia is to raise the dole

i.e. it is insufficient as arts funding, in the way that all arts funding in this country is insufficient

excellent writing by @BRKeogh explaining why our renewed government funding is an okay way to build + support a """creative industry""" but insufficient to sustain the kind of messy creative practices that basically all of our best games have come from theguardian.com/games/2023/mar…

@_MichaelOswell_ all of your cores are already on full blast rendering ligatures and glyph alternates

Where to enable RTX real-time ray-tracing in Pentiment? @jesawyer @nvidia ?

@BRKeogh @GuardianAus that's right, I said Brendand

@BRKeogh @GuardianAus this is fantastic Brendand — and summarised so well in a rare banger of a byline
