You might not like it but this is what peak performance looks like. New game, Innkeeper: Adventurers' Rest - now in pre-production.

And with that the final draft of our pitch document is complete. Managed to cut it down to under 4000 words and got invaluable feedback from so many awesome people in the Perth game dev community. Final edits this week, and then fingers crossed we get some money!

Our artist J.R.Brookes, made some non-game related art recently in a style not like most of her art. This was a definite favourite...

Calling all aspiring female game developers! We're excited to launch our new organisation Level Her Up, dedicated to bringing together female game developers from all walks of life in Western Australia. levelherup.com.au #gamedev #wa #perth #games #womeningames

Jess is working a night shift AND finding time to create art in order to make our dream come true. We can't wait to bring these two cuties to life so they can run your fantasy Inn. #InnkeeperAdventurersRest

We had a fantastic response to our initial survey, with 67 Western Australian women expressing their interest in learning game development! Here's a look at one of the questions we asked 🎮 #gamedevelopment #womeningamedev #westernaustralia

Heartfly Studios is stoked to announce that our RPG/Tycoon game, Innkeeper: Adventurer's Rest is one of the recipients of Screenwest's Digital Games Production Fund! screenwest.com.au/news/latest-ne…

We've chatted amongst Devs in WA about how we can begin to bridge the gap in the industry. Many are locked out of becoming game developers due to systemic social and economic barriers. It's an incredibly complex problem to overcome. Thanks for having a go ScreenAustralia 😊

MediEvil is the first game I bought with pocket money as a kid. Screenshots on the back of the case lit my imagination. I was only about 6; I wouldn't defeat the first boss for over a year Hearing the designer unable to find work is baffling. MediEvil is a masterpiece, play it.

Fell into a depressed slump for a few weeks and managed to climb out mostly. Working mostly solo means there's no one to pick up the slack, so work won't get done and it's easy to feel ashamed and tell yourself you are lazy or not good enough. You are good enough. Keep going.

We've got a pre-alpha teaser video of Innkeeper: Adventurers' Rest brewing... See it at Perth Games Festival 2023 - Sep 23 on the 23rd of September 2023, as part of WA Games Week.

This is absolutely disgusting. We are in early production. It is almost certain that we will be switching to Unreal Engine if Unity's attitude to consumers and obfuscation in business does not improve. Absolutely foul. You can't obfuscate charges and take money. Theft.

Introducing the game "Disunity". Objective: Make the line go down. Narrative: Arrogant corporate executives are attempting to implement an anti-consumer business strategy. As a believer in fair and transparent business practices you must get them to roll-back all plans

The week has begun! WA Games Week Perth Games Festival 2023 - Sep 23 See you soon 🍻 #WAGamesWeek #PerthGamesFestival #PerthIsOK

That's it, our first convention done! Pictured: The lovely and talented J.R.Brookes, and a very tired, chonky-boi (me). We had a great time and got so much encouragement. Thank you, everyone!
