Why is the newsletter not public?

Because missed connections often requires sharing a direct form of contact, in order to make sure I can identify any bad behavior, it has to sit behind a subscription wall or login. It's free, and always will be.

I also spend time sharing what I come across, but every additional submission helps make the mailing list more useful for all of you.

You're welcome to sign up as a non Aussie/NZer - we don't gatekeep - but know that the info is always & will always be focused on these areas!

It's harder than ever to know what's going on with multiple social networks, siloed information, less opportunities, & the general state of the world.

My hope is that the IDD helps bridge the gap for us all in knowing what's happening & allows us to better work together. ❤️

🥂Studio/Project Highlights lets you share publicly - trailers, release dates, awards etc!
📚Resources are anything useful you've encountered - spreadsheets, hot tips, articles, videos!
❓Questions come to me & I provide a public answer in the next newsletter!

📍Events/Deadlines go into the database & are shared in the newsletter
✉️Missed connections lets you ask 500+ local game devs for help with anything you need - e.g. mentoring, engine quirks, rating submissions etc
💼Job Ads let you share your job further with the community

Submissions NEVER close & get sent out in the next send.
