Gamers. It’s time

Meet Matthéo M'Baye, the final character from the A Hopeful Cause expansion. #boardgames #cyberpunk #solarpunk #gaming #detective

Are you ready for NEON HOPE's ultimate detective? He has worked for the system long enough... now it's time to turn the tables and investigate those in power instead! #cyberpunk #detective #illustrations #artworks #boardgames

it's crazy to use AI in CONCEPT ART bcuz it will never be able to CREATE its own CONCEPTS. so not only are you saying you're too lazy to pay someone or to do the work yourself, you're also saying your okay with building all of your shit on unoriginal ideas and almagamation of existing work.

For our German followers! NEON HOPE Designer @nerdmeetsyou.bsky.social war zu Gast beim Koop Kartell #Podcast. Er spricht darüber, wie das Spiel entwickelt wurde – und wo wir aktuell stehen mit der Fertigstellung. Hört rein, es lohnt sich! 🎧 #brettspiele letscast.fm/sites/koop-k...

Wenn du dir während den Feiertagen Zeit für einen Podcast nehmen willst, dann ist diese Episode perfekt. Ich spreche darin knapp zwei Stunden über die Entwicklung von NEON HOPE – und wo wir aktuell stehen.💚 #brettspiele #gamedesign Reinhören lohnt sich! 🎧 letscast.fm/sites/koop-k...

AI ist ein Paradigmen-Wechsel⁉️ Ja, aber nicht so wie #AIBooster denken...🙄 Die Wahrheit wird ihnen gar nicht gefallen: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUuw... Ich schaue jetzt schon seit 10 Jahren @ultralativ.bsky.social und was die heute rausgehauen haben, ist aus meiner Sicht das beste Video bisher! 🤯😍

Game designers who "can't draw" but want art for prototypes... beyond the wealth of public domain stuff available (there's lots) there are artists who make stuff that's VERY affordable and Itch has a ton on sale right now. #NoGenAI itch.io/game-assets/...

Time to escalate my calls: I think something is rotten at Meta, and they are in trouble

What can the corp do to stop you? ⛔ They might send their »Ruthless Contractor« or just another »Reskilled Manager«. 🥲 Sometimes budgets are tight! 😅 #cyberpunk #solarpunk #coop #cardgame #illustrations

Fantastic video by Pam Walls on the increasing use of AI in board games, and the need (more than ever) to support artists, illustrators and graphic designers in the industry. youtu.be/Ci5pOjyJknI?...

From information superhighway to fake "information" and no highways.

The game's title is suddenly very ironic.

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

Uhhh @chiptheorygames.bsky.social ... you ok, buddy? 😲

Which corridor do you like best? #cyberpunk #solarpunk #illustration #artwork #noAI

I know — it can be frustrating, if you try to do the right thing, but nothing changes.🥲 But it's not in vain. We all can have an impact! 💪 This interview from @adamconover.net resonated with me. It gives me hope that the way I view the world isn't just naive.🙂 www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0O6...

The worst part about making a crowdfunded game? Regularly other crowdfunding games I backed get delivered to me. But I can't play them, as I need to get my own into production. 😥

Not every future needs to be dystopian! 🌱 NEON HOPE imagines: What if the #EU built the train of the future – instead of a megalomaniac billionaire. (1/2) #cyberpunk #solarpunk #trains #sciencefiction #boardgames

Ich war zu Gast bei Quality Downtime und wurde über NEON HOPE interviewt: Wo wir stehen und wie es jetzt weiter geht! Hier gehts zur Episode: podcastaddict.com/quality-down...

Join us at Spielemesse Hamburg! 🚢 We are showing the latest version of NEON HOPE at the Spielwerk booth. ✨ ✨ ✨ There you can play many amazing prototypes from local designers. #boardgames #hamburg #solarpunk #cyberpunk

New comic! Board gamers, have you ever wondered what meeples dream of? 🤫 You can read this week's blog post at semicoop.com/comic/grasping-nightmare/ #boardgames

It's crazy how many #boardgame accounts I've already unfollowed on Instagram, because every image they post now uses #AI generated images or photos.

We spent last weekend at a cabin in northern Germany to playtest NEON HOPE! While Torben made vegetarian chilli and pizza to keep us at full endurance, Francesco, Dominik, and our core playtesters fought for a better future. #boardgames #cardgames #solarpunk #cyberpunk #gamedesign

Hi, I hate doing self promo so I'll just say that this indie board game coverage channel that could is about to hit a milestone of sorts. There is no skeet that can summarize who we are or what we do, but we do cool work and you should check us out. www.youtube.com/@NoPunIncluded

I'm writing a story text for NEON HOPE right now and am wondering: Is there a modern word in the English language that describes someone, who is "too rich" for what is good for society, democracy, and capitalism? (In German the word "überreich" is becoming more common to describe this.)

I am having a lot of fun at #SPIEL25. Meeting old and new friends! Any games I should check out on the final day, before it's too late? #boardgames #gaming #brettspiele

We talked to @hopefulgames.bsky.social for an hour and they showed us how Neon Hope is coming along. It's an exciting storytelling card game (think Arkham Horror LCG) and it's not afraid to get political in its story and fluff texts. You can still late pledge! www.kickstarter.com/projects/hop...

SPIEL - SATURDAY! 🌟 Here's a video that condenses our 12+ hour day at the halls into 90 seconds and Youtube decided to grace with this terrible cover image. 🤣 youtube.com/shorts/xsh7k...

I'm helping out at the SAZ booth today at #SPIEL25. The perfect first first point of contact for new and upcoming designers. Always wanted to make a game? Come by and talk to me about it! #boardgames

And so ist begins... Creators are heading to the press conference. While I'm getting a coffee in the meantime. #SPIEL25

I've just arrived in Essen for #Spiel25! 🎉💚 Are there any meetups I can check out on Tuesday evening?

Today is Prototype Day! 😊 💚 We are once again play testing episode 5 and showing some folks episode 1. #boardgames #cardgames #solarpunk #cyberpunk #gamedesign

I'll be at #SPIEL25 next week. We don't have a booth, but I'll be at the show and will have an updated version of NEON HOPE with me. Really looking forward to the convention! 😍

Saw this super interesting Analysis by @hankgreen.bsky.social. Arguing that the fact #OpenAI is making a Slob Social Media app, is them admitting that their bussines model failed. Instead of replacing "all of work" they are pinching pennies to take ad money from Meta. THE AI BUBBLE IS OVER!

Matt & Wayne from Board Stupid have gotten themselves into some serious trouble! 😱 But don't worry: there is still hope! 🌱 #cyberpunk #solarpunk #boardgames #cardgames

Ich bin nächsten Monat auf der Artist Alley der Spielemesse Hamburg und war gerade auf dem Insta Account und war nicht sehr angetan von den ganzen fugly KI-Bildern. Falls ihr das genauso zum Kotzen findet könnt ihr ja vielleicht auch einen Kommentar da lassen :) www.instagram.com/reel/DPI5bnA...

Ich bin weiterhin nur wenige Abos von den 100 entfernt und der heutige Post hat mich weiter von dem Ziel entfernt (jemand hat sich rausgeklickt), was ok ist, weil der Witz mehr als 1 Abo wert ist. steady.page/de/chrissiki...

@nerdmeetsyou.bsky.social and @shapesanddreams.bsky.social are at BRETT today! We are showing the near final version of episode 2 – and a new prototype that we are working on. A small two player duel game we call "Berlin Firewall". #boardgames #cardgames #cyberpunk #solarpunk

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️ As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike. WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Character Reveal! 👉 Giulia Caparelli is a lawyer who has had enough of power hungry corporations. As an [Activist] and [Authority] character she is helping your team to avoid Enemies and digital threats – at least momentarily. (1/2) #boardgames #cardgames #cyberpunk #solarpunk #ecg #lcg #GDPR

If you ever wondered. THIS 👇 is what Mark Zuckerberg is really thinking of you: youtube.com/shorts/Fk4t_...

every AI ad is like “hey gemini, what would i have for lunch?” and then the phone is like “sandwich” and the guy is like “wow”

"What if they make AGI and it's just a regular dude – who is lazy!" Such a banger of a quote from @edzitron.com on his podcast: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWQi...

Character Reveal! 👉 Veronika Ono is a content creator with a can-do attitude. As an [Influencer] and [Maker] character she shows her audience how to built and repair gadgets. (1/2) #boardgames #cardgames #ECG #LCG #solarpunk #cyberpunk #sciencefiction #berlin

Uff... The AI slob is getting so much worse. I tried to find a render of a futuristic train station that I've seen before and that I wanted to use as reference for our artist. It's basically impossible to find this image again, as all search results for this query is now AI images.

Character Reveal! 👉 As a young man Jan-Peter helped to built the world he is now fighting against. Having lived by the toxic mantras of the tech industry too long, he is now applying them against the companies who invented them. Get ready to play Jan-Peter... and to move fast and break things! 🔥😎🔥

"The insidious effect of workslop is that it shifts the burden of the work downstream, requiring the receiver to interpret, correct, or redo the work. In other words, it transfers the effort from creator to receiver." hbr.org/2025/09/ai-g...
