Let's try this. Welcome to the Indie Dev Digest, a newsletter for Australian and New Zealand developers! indie-dev-digest.beehiiv.com
With the collapse of Twitter, I've been finding it super difficult to know what's going on in ANZ, who is where, and who is working on what, and a bunch of people have echoed this. I think I'm going to make a newsletter, but is this something people want?

Intrigued by this new Trailblazers game! Amazing art style and looks like interesting mix of gameplay in a fresh setting as well. One to watch!
Could we have imagined that our trailer would rack up over 70k cumulative views in less than a week? ๐Ÿ™„ NO ๐Ÿคฉ In a dream perhaps youtu.be/PXGuzybAmMI #indiedev #gamedev

Love looking behind the curtain at other folks procgen terrain systems! @lorenschmidt is getting some beautiful continent shapes and mountain ranges here.
here's a run of my small testbed using piecewise rules for the terrain solver. this makes some regions gentle plains and others more corrugated foothills, while a third type sports tall mountains. i was happy about the coincidental ๐Ÿ‰palette
