A new pirate adventure has been revealed: Corsair Cove! Wishlist now to stay updated and be among the first to try the demo. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1368140/Corsair_Cove/ Coming later this year to Steam and the Epic Games Store. Your island. Your rules. Build anywhere.

In case you were wondering what the hell I was doing between 2020 and 2023. The game grew tremendously since I left Limbic. Congratulations to the Corsair Cove Team! I can see your hard work and dedication to the project 🎉 👏 💕 (and also maybe some leftovers of my work too 🤭)

Who are we? We are #gamedev.s and other workers in the German #gamesindustry! What do we want? A #gamesindustry without mismanagement, crunch, underpayment and harassment. And now we have a website, so you can join us! ✊️ game-workers.de

Wikipedia now has higher standards than all universities

After my recent podcast appearance at @stayforever.de where I talked about the optimization of RollerCoaster Tycoon, I finally found some time to also write an article: larstofus.com/2026/03/22/t... If you know German I'd still recommend the podcast, which also dives deep into the rest of the game 🎧

As you use AI to simplify easy yet mundane tasks, like writing emails, you get increasingly dependent on it. You get lazy, less skilled, use your brain less, and (you may not want to hear this) get stupider as a result. Don’t let them take away your ability to think. Stop using it. Now.

Quick announcement! 🎉I'm co-founding an indie studio!🎉 Say Hi to Green Parrot Games. I'll be working with Tom Bockhorn and @laburrini.bsky.social , and supported by @thomasroessig.bsky.social & everyone else at Fourth Moon Games. Please enjoy this not-at-all-cheesy album cover, I mean team photo.

Was ist der #GameDev Round Table? Zwei unserer Mitglieder sprechen im #Verdi-Podcast über die Entstehung, die Erfolge und die weiteren Ziele für bessere Arbeitsbedingungen in der #GamesIndustry. #union #unionize podcast.aktiv-vernetzt.de

Very excited about this, as I get to present my energy-saving plugin for Unreal. Make sure to register if you're interested: zoom.us/meeting/regi... #gamedev #Unreal

Due to recent discussions: when I worked at a library, I was trained on how to politely but directly respond to unwanted sexual comments. Unfortunately commonly-marketed fantasies about librarians mean it happens a lot. Rehearse these. Be comfortable saying them forcefully, but politely.

Remember the energy saving plugin for Unreal I released some weeks ago? The people at Bold Beetle Games liked it enough to develop a similar one for Godot🥳: godotengine.org/asset-librar... If you're a Godot user, take a look! #gamedev #Godot

It's this Friday! 💚✨

✊🌀We stand with Ubisoft employees in France and beyond opposing unilateral layoffs, project cancellations, and enforced return-to-office policies pushed without meaningful social dialogue Creative work needs respect, stability, and worker participation — not top-down mandates!!!!

Demo release date coming up 👀

Discord isn't walking back anything yet, but this shows they are feeling the pressure and you should keep bullying and contacting them until they relent.

🇬🇧✊🌀 Ubisoft: unions called for a strike on February 10th, 11th and 12th. Here is the list of all the pickets around France ⤵️

I already released the energy saving plugin for Unreal a few weeks ago, and really wanted to give some info on how it works and the motivation behind it, so here's a new blog post: haukethiessen.com/introducing-... #gamedev #Unreal

I’ve decided to open up my commissions again! I’m currently unemployed, have a lot of free time, and any income would be nice to have until I find a new job :) If you have any questions feel free to contact me! I’m open to drawing a lot of things, but I too have limits

That is a wrap! Last weekend we held our yearly game jam, with many devs joining us to create 4 amazing games! Check them out here: itch.io/jam/fem-devs... . Thanks to everyone who joind us for this exciting weekend 💚

We're cooking something #indiegame #horrorgames

The Fem Devs Game Jam 2025 just started! 🎮💚 Our community will spend a whole weekend making games together in Cologne thanks to this year's host: the School of Games!

And on the subject of #realartatters: AI poisoning tool NIGHTSHADE is now free for artists to use: venturebeat.com/ai/nightshad...

"Publisher signen aktuell 0.2% der Games, die sie sehen" - diese harte Realität habe ich gestern auf der @devcom.bsky.social gehört. Gruselig, denn unser aktuelles Spiel "Kappeln" bei Publishern zu pitchen ist eine meiner Missionen für die @gamescomglobal.bsky.social 2025

My beloved juniors, please take this advice to heart If you're invited along with industry professionals you admire, you don't need to put any effort into impressing them. You're doing just fine the way you are, everyone just wants to vibe. Partake in conversations just like you'd normally do.

Our yearly Casual Summer Dinner in Frankfurt is happening again! ☀️ We invite you to a cozy get-together after the second day of the German Dev Days right across their venue. As always, food and drinks are at your own expense. Get your ticket here: www.eventbrite.de/e/femdevsmee...

Hello 💚 We are looking for a gamejam location for October in Düsseldorf or Cologne! ℹ️ For any question please reach out to us through [email protected] ℹ️ Or check out LinkedIn post: www.linkedin.com/posts/femdev... Thank you for reaching out 💚 #femdevsmeetup #femdevsgamejam

Keep trying 💚

someone already sent this to at least one WIP horse game asking devs to consider more horse-friendly stabling options and while I don't think my article really contained any """news""" about horse welfare, I LOVE that it's empowering people to ask games to do better in this regard 🙏💜

Happy International Women's Day from FemDevsMeetup! 🎉 💚 To celebrate this special day, we're showcasing the incredible projects created by people in our community throughout March. Follow our social channels to join us in lifting each other up! 🙌 #IWD2025

Here we go, something I've been drafting for a long, long time: how the US-centric approach to video games and their history / culture basically gaslights us who come from other realities: felipepepe.medium.com/the-gentrifi... AKA, why LAN Houses, PokéTibia & Bomba Patch rule.

My brand:

my fav game jams consist on: - no winners for best *anything*. you're already jamming, that should be enough - food that goes beyond cold pizza every night - varied drinks (no alcohol, no enegy drinks stronger than coffee/tea) - an enforced safe space policy - alternative engines and mixed media
