Another PAX has come and gone, with attendees filled to the brim with indies, badges, panels and lots of swag. I toured the show floor over the three days. Here's what stuck out to me from the show floor.

Now that you've had a coffee or two and a little time to recover, tell us: how was your PAX weekend?

Developers and enforcers are recovering from another lengthy, exhausting convention. But for one particular studio, PAX Australia ended up being a touch more brutal.

When Phil Walker-Harding was a child he made silly little board games with his brother and cousin. Now he makes internationally successful games like Sushi Go and Bärenpark. They're still a bit silly.

It's PAX time, and you know what that means: lots of games, and even more lines. If you're planning on heading in this weekend, here's a little guide to what's on offer so you can decide ahead of times what games you're going to commit to lining up for.

Hello! Are you going to PAX Australia this year? We are! We'll be doing some panels over the next few days, so if you'd like to know where to find us, here's what we're up to.

With PAX just around the corner and the state already in the thick of Melbourne International Games Week, Film Victoria has announced that 14 games will be sharing over $815,000 in fresh funding.

There's two days until the PAX Australia doors open. And to those that are going: what are you looking forward to this year?

PAX Australia has a track record of attracting intriguing keynote speakers. Rhianna Pratchett, the writer who worked on Bioshock Infinite, the recent Tomb Raider games, Overlord and Mirror's Edge, joins that club this year.

So in advance of her PAX Q&A, I spent an hour chatting to Pratchett about the practical process of writing in video games, working from home, and the art of narrative triage.
