I’m pleased proud and privileged to announce Bru & Boegie: Episode 1 – Get da MILK! is included in the official selection for Playtopia 2025, happening 5-6 December in Cape Town. I understand attendees will be able to play the Bru & Boegie game (as well as many other cool games) at game stations, and there looks like a fantastic selection of interesting talks from cool speakers happening over the 2 days. We’re planning to attend, and are looking forward to it. More info on the Playtopia website: https://playtopiafestival.co.za All things being equal, hopefully checking out Africa Games Week too from 1-4 December also happening in Cape Town, just before Playtopia kicks off.

Lemme set the scene: Louise (my wife) and I were watching a movie on TV on Friday night. I have a bad habit of reaching for my phone whenever things on TV show gets too stressful, and the movie (Lee) was getting stressie, so I checked out the Indie Game Awards nominees. As I was browsing through the spreadsheet, I saw ‘Bru & Boegie: Episode 1‘. I froze. “Fr?!” Then I checked the site and lo, it was true! 🤩 By some stroke of luck my first commercial indie game ‘Bru & Boegie: Episode 1 – Get da MILK!‘ has been nominated in a prestigious indie awards events. It’s in the ‘African Indie Game Award’ category (I’m stoked they have that category!) and is in amongst some excellent company with other games – congrats to the other nominees! WOWEE! Super cool news. Thanks to everyone who’s played the game, left…

YHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I cannot contain my EXCITEMENT for this day of launch, where the first Bru & Boegie game gets released to the public!  This year has been one of learning, and somehow… here we are! From a little brain-spark last year based on characters I’ve been drawing and animating for over 20 years, to a game for sale on Steam. Ma bru – what a ✨thing!✨. Here’s some early sketches of the game from way back when: Was running through the final release PC, Mac and Linux builds on Monday night to do final checks that v1.25 all works fine (it does, at least I couldn’t find any issues and the builds have been through many iterations by this point. I ran through the game in Chinese too.) Using the Steam Deck, the game looks so vibrant. My olde iPhone 11 doesn’t really do it justice, but it looked rad: If you play the game, thank…

I can SMELL da MILK The game is imminently launching next week Wednesday! I can hardly believe the time has almost arrived to unleash these 2 underpanted bald children onto an unsuspecting public. It’s been a rewarding journey of learning to get to this point, and I’m thrilled that it’s almost over the finish line and into an audience’s mouse-clicking paws. Bru & Boegie: Episode 1 Steam NextFest Summary Steam NextFest recently ended, and Bru & Boegie: Episode 1 – Get da MILK! took part in it. The game performed well; it got a bunch of new wishlists and new eyes on the game, and it’s somehow broken into the SteamDB charts with its wishlist activity. I discovered a service called RoboStreamer that let me stream a looping broadcast of playthrough videos that myself and 3 others (with their permission) had made, to the game’s page for a couple of…

I’m pleased to announce that Bru & Boegie: Episode 1 – Get da MILK! is taking part in Steam NextFest, it started yesterday and runs until 20th October, 2025. Hopefully the demo will get into the hands of a bunch more players, because the full game is launching SOON – 29th October! 🤩🥳🙌 I have a looping stream to the Steam Store page of video playthroughs from me, GrayStillPlays and Yippee Ki Yay Mr Falcon (with kind permission from both of them). Here’s my playthrough! Steam Deck Kiff Very pleased to report that Episode 1 on Steam works super well on the Steam Deck without any fiddling. Looks super vibrant too. Here’s Bru speaking Chinese, because the game now has a Simplified Chinese translation – kiff! Or should I say – 酷。 NAG Mag Interview NAG (New Age Gaming) Magazine – a South African magazine I used to collect when I was a kid – was kind enough to interview me recently about the game!…

I recently took part in the annual SA Game Jam 2025, organised by Free Lives. It was either a 72-hour or 48-hour affair, starting on Friday 19th September and finishing on Monday 22nd September. I wasn’t really planning to take part as I had a fairly busy weekend lined up, but started messing around on Saturday – a 2-frame walk cycle turned into a 4-frame walk cycle which turned into an 8-frame walk cycle… I didn’t work on Sunday, and finished the game on Monday. To my absolute delight, I had something I was pretty proud of! MONS – a short interactive experience in which I got to experiment with Unity’s pixel perfect camera for the olde 8bit retro look, harnessed the power of prefabs, and a little story to go along with it. You’re a Kaiju, and you forgot your car keys back up on land from the last…
