fast verpennt heute! #liebesgschichten

letzte woche devcom, aber diese woche wieder #liebesgschichten !

14 years ago I attended my 1st Gamescom - a fan, a student. This year I attended for the 2nd time - a developer, a freelancer, a studio founder. It was an overwhelming and emotional experience. I am so proud of how far I've come. Can't wait to see what the next 14 years will bring!

ok, heute aber! #liebesgschichten

Looking forward to showing off the prototype for The Heirs of Eternity at devcom & gamescom! Hope to see you there 😊

nächstes #liebesgeschichten muss ich auch mal live mitposten und net nur die @olivensuppe.bsky.social zuspammen 😁

86 fucking years old.

It's all fun and games until it has to be fun and a game

You can currently get Dungeons of Hinterberg for under 10€/$!

"if I just work hard enough, eventually I'll make it" No. cause if you don't make it that means you didn't work hard enough. And that isn't fair to your efforts. there are so many factors outside of your hands. So much success is luck, and failure is not always your fault. cut yourself some slack.

Players have been asking for the ability to filter out games made with Gen AI. We've added an automatic tag on SteamDB based on the AI gen content disclosures on the store pages.

so I posted this on LinkedIn already but figure I might as well share it here too: Do I have any press contacts interested in my general Horse Game Shenanigans™ who would be interested in covering the Khiimori kickstarter success? Or just the horse game phenomenon in general 👀

new prototype update - this time I wrote the posts completely myself, instead of asking chat gpt to help me adapt them. thoughts? which style is easier / more fun to read for you? I feel like chatgpt definitely helps with keeping posts short and concise, but maybe people enjoy my ramblings?

It’s finally time! Our submissions for gamescom 2025 are officially open! ✨ We have a bunch of free and discounted showcasing options available for you 👀 Please check out our website for all relevant information: indiearenabooth.de/apply ⌛ Open until 9 April We look forward to your submissions! 🙌💗

cancelling on friends and having them be like "actually we were thinking about cancelling too" is honest to God one of the most relieving feelings in the world

Diese Regierungsbildung hat mehr Fortsetzungen als die „Fast & Furios“-Reihe.

Das tolle österreichische Game „Eigengrau“ wurde international prämiert: fm4.orf.at/stories/3046...

why is setting up visual studio building for unreal engine such a pain every. single. time. -.-

Because these damn tins contain anything but cookies

So... when we introduced On Your Tail during the Nintendo Indieworld, we had a small ARG going on and.. no one solved it. Can you solve it now? The first three solving all the steps will get an On Your Tail Steam Key! www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLgX...

In between freelancing, I’m diving into creating my own games! 🎮✨ In this thread, I'll share prototypes, lessons learned, and all the fun shenanigans along the way. Stay tuned! 👾

If you've enjoyed Cryptmaster, please consider sharing the news. Despite an IGF award, a 95% Steam rating and a free demo, the game has gone mostly unnoticed by both press and players. It's not just a typing game and there may still be people out there who would enjoy it!

Liebe Österreicherinnen und Österreicher und alle die hier leiden.

I still have a few irons in the fire that I'm really excited about, but it looks likely that I'll be kicking off 2025 with a job search. If your team could use a narrative-y, systems-y designer (with S-tier soft skills & procedural narrative XP) for either an IC or lead role, let's chat!

hey peeps! I’m looking for new UX - UI - product freelance gigs ✨ ideally in games, but not exclusively. I would greatly appreciate any help, thank you so much 🫶

OH! It's #PortfolioDay !! My name is Luthien Leerghast! I am a queer illustrator with a deep love of scrunkly creatures, looming places and strange folk.

Ums nochmal mit Zorn zu sagen: Eine "Verzweiflungstat" ist, wenn ich in Ermangelung von Schokolade im Haus, den Instantkakao mit dem Löffel esse. Ein Femizid ist keine "Verzweiflungstat". Wut geht raus an die LKA-Leitung Niederösterreich.

GameDev Bluesky, since so many of us are between contracts, why don't we see if we can scare up some money and make a game? If you're a producer/artist/designer/etc., based in France (ideally), with substantial experience (definitely) and you'd like to chat, hit me up. I have a pitch.

Hope everybody had a fun Halloween!

I am happy to announce that I am working with @jotungames.bsky.social on their title "The Dark Earth"! Check it out and give them some love <3 jotun-games.com

Welp, here we go. My first ever post on Bsky, or any other site like this as it were 😓 I can't think of anything profound to say so here's some mystery game art from Mario to kick things off 😋

I have a joke about game development, but it's currently not working.

I'm gonna have another productive day! * proceeds to brick her Unreal Engine installation * * after finally fixing that, proceeds to run into massive roadblock with the toolkit she is using * 🤦
