So it’s the 9th horror movie tonight on my streak to Halloween. And there have been some pretty good ones (Weapons is amazing! watch it now!) but … Ffs those tropes of characters being stupid and always going into dark cellars / rooms / hallways at night and without proper light starts to annoy me 🙄

When @aceottorney.bsky.social first told me about this I said "this could change people's lives and stop developers from getting exploited" and having seen the final resource, I think I was not wrong. I'd call it a must-bookmark for indie devs.

President Macron: “We were very naive to leave our public space to social media networks controlled by US or Chinese companies that don’t share our interests and not interested in survival of our democracies.” www.youtube.com/watch?v=MggN...

Compared to how serious this CVE is, I was totally baffled on how silence my gamedev community was. Maybe I’m already too disconnected? Or everybody is just freaking out and patching the shit out of their games 🫠

Fuck the ai-bubble, fuck web3, fuck crypto scams …. Pieces like this is what the internet was born for.

It's official now. After more than 14 years today was my last day at @studiofizbin.bsky.social . I don't actually know what's gonna happen to the company i co-founded back then. For now i'm gonna take a small rest to re-charge my batteries. For those about to make some games, I salute you 🫡

Clones are huge problem for indie games since more than a decade. But taking a movie, doing minor cuts and then releasing it as your own… that’s a whole different story 😱 If you understand German, you should check this documentary out: www.ardmediathek.de/film/Y3JpZDo... Details in 🧵👇

It’s a lot of fun of either finding out how deep you’re into GW lore or finding out that makeup color names are pretty grim dark :) Either way, I can totally approve that this was indeed an important contribution to humanity 🙂‍↕️ Thanks for that @cheerfulgoth.bsky.social 🙇

"3 devs with support from a few contractors" I counted 110 people or companies in Silksong's credits. And that's just those credited. We all know not everyone gets credited. Especially when it's just a company name listed in lieu of credits. So tired of this faux rags-to-riches narrative.

Hahahhaha an anti fascistic Videogame taking the main stage. I freaking love it! Kudos to the whole @paintbucket.de crew 👊 Also @saftladen.bsky.social represent 🎉

What. @freejsf.paintbucket.de hogging the #gamescomONL spotlight as usual while niche titles like COD Black Ops 7 could have used a bit more exposure. Just great.

As we all know the game industry is going through very turbulent times, unfortunately this has also affected several members of our collective. The silver lining is that one of the largest rooms in our coworking space in Berlin will be available from September 1st. More info in thread...

I released a smol Steam review guessing game! You asked for the ability to play previous days, so I added it! Enjoy beeating those scores and discovering some new Steam gems. steamle.com

As game dev I often wonder if my intuition about the Steam market matches reality. So I did a small game to test it: Guess how many reviews a random game has. You can now play it too on steamle.com

Okay, that's pretty good.

Here's the 2nd page for my #megop mobAU Bank's Closed! Some sketches for the matrix. I liked the idea that it latches on the outer side of the mech, rearranging the surface bit to accommodate it, and changes shape according to who the bearer. got a lot of inspo from vintage art deco jewelry!

This morning I was thinking a lot about the next @doom.com game „The dark ages“ and chanting „rip and tear“ in my head. When I arrived at my office and got off my bike I literally heard a tear sound and thought „RIP AND TEAR!!!“. Just now I noticed that actually … my pants ripped 😬😬😬😬

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching. Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.
