ICYMI, I just announced my "Citizen Sleeper meets Dishonored" RPG I've been working on for the last 2 years! ⚙️Survive a gritty steampunk city 💣Spark revolution! 🚩Take down the Empire... 👿...or put a new dictator in power?

Fun statistic: "Dungeons of Hinterberg" has an extraordinarily high % of people playing it on Steam Deck rather than PC (judging by % of reviewers that mostly played on Deck). newsletter.gamediscover.co/p/steam-deck...

Thinking about a magical vacation in the Austrian Alps? "Dungeons of Hinterberg" is currently 60% off on Steam (that's under 10 USD!) store.steampowered.com/app/1983260/...

There's still a bit of summer left (at least in central Europe 🙂). Take a moment and catch yourselves some sunlight!

Kick back and enjoy some Game Pass offerings this holiday weekend.

Thrilled to announce our next original game, Black Jacket, in partnership with Skystone Games! A blackjack-inspired roguelite deck builder. Gamble your way out of hell, supercharge your deck, & play impossible card combos. ♥️♠️ ♦️ ♣️ Wishlists are welcome! 🙏

How German can you get?

Hello, I forgot this was happening but it is happening

It gave us a peak Smashing Pumpkins track.

relooted is being made by a team of developers from numerous african countries, but only its white south african creative director was able to demo it to summer game fest attendees. this was most certainly not always the plan

One element of the Dragon Age story that I want to emphasize: If the team had known in 2021 (after the single-player pivot) that they'd ship in Oct 2024, it'd be a much different game. Instead they were always under the impression they had to finish in 6-12 months, which led to all sorts of problems

it's been a year since we announced our game fund @outersloth.com!!! wrote a lil transparent reflection, including tidbits like: ✨ signing rate is 1.4% ✨ majority of our games are <$500k ✨ total games funded so far: 22!! in my feels! chuffed! happy! emotional! 🥺 www.innersloth.com/1-year-of-ou...

Amazing account of ChatGPT's sycophancy and confabulation on steroids. amandaguinzburg.substack.com/p/diabolus-e...

Hi Bluesky, could really use your help 🙏🙏 We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped. Which has been *not fantastic* for our launch If anyone can spare a RT, that would be so, so helpful ❤️❤️ Find it here: store.steampowered.com/app/3167970/...

Ooof. Colossal games doing shadow drop launches is the stuff of nightmares for indies. Please stop.

Pretty sure these are all From Software bosses.

Lost For Swords ⚔️ is my love letter to roguelikes and card games. To deckbuilders and dungeon crawlers. To strategy and tactics. It is Slay The Spire meets Into The Breach with a pinch of Diablo 2. If any of that resonates with you ➡️ it's out on Steam now!!!💖 store.steampowered.com/app/2638050/...

Our employee of the month demonstrates how best to play vacation mode

The Triple-i Initiative returns April 10th. 30+ video game announcements in 45 minutes with no fluff - just games beamed straight into your eyeballs. Be there. iii-initiative.com

That car ride is one of my favorite scenes in DoH. I miss writing Travis - he's a great excuse to write something pretentious and he always felt real to me, even if he's such a 00s hipster that he might be a bit of an anachronism.

⚔️ OUT NOW 👑 Reignbreaker is now available on Steam & GOG 🔥 god slay the queen.

🙏Thanks everyone for letting me live the indie dev dream🙂 My game has reached over 100k+ sales on #Steam during Early Access! #gamedev #indiegames

@marioprime.bsky.social, saw Hinterberg on your stream this weekend. Don't know if this has been on your radar, but we just released a free DLC on every platform (including Playstation which launched an hour ago) that lets you play a prequel as Renaud, i.e. the guy who "looks like Blade" :)

Dungeons of Hinterberg Episode: Renaud DLC Impressions Dungeons of Hinterberg is a fantastic game. When it dropped on Game Pass in July last year I completed the whole thing (100% achievements and all) over the course of a week. The game is an exciting blend of action, adventure, and…

Tomorrow!

🎁 Who's up for some free "Dungeons of Hinterberg" DLC?

I've had parts of this written down for a while - but I thought it was about time to document the detailed version of what happened during Balatro development localthunk.com/blog/balatro...

And here’s a full stream schedule. A game every hour. Excited for all of this, but especially excited for the delirium of going from Animal Well, to, Lorelei, to Silent Hill, to DAYLIGHT SAVINGS, to Grunn, and then Arctic Eggs.

Sweet sweet data! 📊✨ The authors mention this as well, but hopefully this helps devs make more informed decisions and publishers determine whether they're being competitive. We can only push for a stronger industry when information like this is accessible + visible!

Glad to be a part of this!

Und das wäre die offizielle ö. Position gewesen, hätten sich FPÖ und ÖVP auf eine Koalition geeinigt:

What an absolute nightmare.

Really looking forward to how players will react to this! :) #Hinterberg

Next week on Tuesday (March 4th) - the first Vienna Gamedev Meetup at the "Das Packhaus" will take place. Consider supporting the gamedev scene of Vienna with a visit! www.meetup.com/vienna-game-...

I've learned (and I am still learning) how to run a game studio for the last seven years doing both creative and biz. Here's a list of guidelines that work for us and might be useful for others that were lessons I've incorporated with our experience and guidance from others. 🧵

Dungeons of Hinterberg is coming to PlayStation on March 13th! #indiegame #indiedev #arpg

Disco Elysium blowing up the way it did should be evidence that there’s no predicting the games market. Imagine trying to tell a money guy that game of the year was gonna be an Estonian visual novel by communists where you can pet the mailbox and say “I want to make fuck with you”

The Netflix adaptation of "100 Years of Solitude" is absolutely incredible. If you haven't watched it yet, you're in for something special!
