She is also a teacher, a baker and a strange world maker. Thea’s love of learning and supporting others can be seen in her work teaching design workshops for RMIT as well as her efforts in tutoring the local community. Thea graduated from RMIT’s Game Design course in 2023 and was awarded the 2023-2024 ACMI + RMIT Games Prize for her work as Creative Director and Producer on her group capstone project REAPRIEVE. Thea and the REAPRIEVE team were recently selected to be recipients of VicScreen’s incredibly competitive Originate Games Fund. REAPRIEVE is an existential 3D adventure game where you work a simple office job: reap a soul’s desires in record time or suffer a deadly cost - your break, your sanity, or worse, Employee-of-the-Year. REAPRIEVE blends fast-paced semi-monotonous gameplay together with a narrative about the consequences of losing yourself. Inspired by a Filipino superstition in which the dead manifest as butterflies to watch over their loved ones. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b06c24fe2f1e4d6ef86bed/8512cb28-7317-4289-96c3-fdfbe8ff238a/Ben+Koder.png News & Content - The SMART Program Cohort of 2024 - Ben Koder Ben Koder (He/They) is a queer experimental games developer who seamlessly bridges the worlds of technology and art. With a diverse background in digital media, computer science, and game design, Koder integrates niche hardware and software into his work to create groundbreaking, one-of-a-kind experiences. His projects have been celebrated for their innovation and creativity. Among his most notable works is Beyond The Lens, a surreal photography game praised as ‘the only good use of AI art,’ which has been featured at ACMI, Sabby Gallery, and the Powerhouse Museum, and was named one of SUPERJUMP’s best games of 2022. Koder also presented Beyond The Lens at Freeplay Parallels in 2023, further solidifying its impact within the indie game development community. Another highlight is Massage Maestro, a game where players knead the pressure-sensitive keys of a digital piano to relieve virtual patients’ pain, showcased at PAX Australia.

Originally, starting out as an animator for TV and web series such as DC Super Hero Girls, Belle and Sebastian, and Pencilmation. Fitri has now continued to expand their wonderfully playful yet bizarre creative practice through video games and interactive media that explore aspects of the human condition that are not often spoken about. Fitri’s current project The Worm’s Memoirs is a 2D point-and-click game based on their experience with childhood trauma, contrasting playfulness and horror to visualise the unsettling sensation and showing the hope that lies beyond it. Fitri is passionate about experimenting with values-based games that are able to not only deliver value as a unique form of entertainment but are also able to impact the lives of those playing the game by emulating real emotions that will move people’s heart. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b06c24fe2f1e4d6ef86bed/5d60f51f-9fa0-4c73-b775-3017135a2c18/Logan+Urlichs.png News & Content - The SMART Program Cohort of 2024 - Logan Urlichs Logan Urlichs (He/They) is a designer, programmer and rapid prototyping specialist. Since graduating JMC in 2022, Logan has been sure to compete in every game jam he can get his hands on and has built an impressive portfolio of games in that time, many of which have been enjoyed by the local community when they were exhibited at the local IGDAM meet-ups. Logan is multi-disciplinary game developer who isn’t afraid to experiment with unfamiliar software and skillsets in the pursuit of learning something new, challenge themselves or simply for the joy of doing something innovative. This unique approach to game development has allowed for Logan’s skillset to span from making UI assets in Photoshop to shader rendering in Unity to creating detailed game design documents. Logan’s love of collaboration and experimentation has led him to form a small team of like-minded developers known as Suspicious Jam who are currently putting the finishing touches on the fast-paced arcade-fighter stylised Table tennis game, King of Ping-Pong Megamix, which is due to release later in the year on steam. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b06c24fe2f1e4d6ef86bed/9e7f2d37-571f-418e-b9be-abe0c286a93d/Natalie+Raskin.png News & Content - The SMART Program Cohort of 2024 - Natalie Raskin Natalie Raskin (She/Her) is a UX specialist, events manager and games producer currently in her final year of Swinburne University, studying a Bachelor of Design, co-majoring in UX Design and Games & Interactivity.
