XR:WA is a brand new Western Australian immersive reality festival running in conjunction with Revelation Perth International Film Festival.

Jonathan Blow has raised some concerns about the global indie development scene stating that the industry has failed to innovate and has become "stagnant". How you define innovation in indie games has a big impact on whether or not you think this is true.
Pixel Sift is produced by Scott Quigg, Sarah Ireland, Fiona Bartholomaeus & Mitch Loh. Gianni Di Giovanni is our Executive Producer. Thanks to Salty Dog Sounds for some of our promo music this week.
