Shooty Shooty Robot Invasion, ein absurder Visual Novel Shooter (?), hat sich mit seinem einzigartigen Look und endlosen Gags schnell in mein Herz geblödelt. Für mich eine der schönsten Überraschungen des Spiele-Jahres: polygonien.de/shooty-shoot... Made by @bubbydarkstar.bsky.social #indiegames

Wir hatten gerade wieder unseren alljährlichen Rewatch von Over the Garden Wall und ich glaube, ich habe endlich mein Spirit Animal gefunden:

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct. That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9nO...

Some scenes from the prologue of my new adventure game. #ProjectLion

In Flesh Made Fear treffen B-Movie-Vibes, auf Chunky Pixels und viel Resident Evil Nostalgie. Ein kurzweiliger Survival-Horror-Trip von @taintedpactgames.bsky.social & @assembleteam.bsky.social, der aktuell leider etwas unter dem Radar fliegt: polygonien.de/2025/11/fles... #indiegames #horrorgames

@gamesmarket.global habt ihr die Shitshow bzgl. Misery (hat gerade auch den Community Vote der DevGAMM gewonnen) auf dem Schirm? GSC Game World hat Valve dazu gezwungen, das Spiel vorerst aus dem Store zu nehmen. Der russische Dev + sein Discord scheinen übel zu sein: Nationalismus, Homophobie etc.

GP Advance was a 3D GBA racing game in development at Italian studio Prograph in 2003. Marketed as having "Psx-level graphics", using an in-house engine, the game featured up to 45k polygons on screen, running smoothly. In the end, no publisher could be found and the game was cancelled.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

Still need more baseball? We found a CD in our archives containing dozens of unused voice lines from MLB Slugfest 20-03 rejected by the MLB. Here's some of our favorites.

This seems outrageously cruel. And just a handful of months before these folks would have been set to enjoy the release of one of the biggest games of their careers too. The imbalance of power in the games industry remains utterly fucked.

Here's the reason why you see so many people beg for reviews on Steam. Virtue's Heaven got past 10 reviews this weekend and suddenly the amount of page views tripled, mostly because the game started to show up in people's discovery queues.

Did I mention btw that I'm doing freelance gigs? A guy needs to eat, after all. If you need something done in Unity, C# let me know. System designs, gameplay code, editor tooling. Need some fires put out? Hit me up! #gamedev #unity

Oh my god some fucking tech dingdong posted this on Twitter with the caption "AI games are going to be amazing" totally seriously, you have to watch it. You have to. In full screen.

Over half of all articles on the Internet are now written by AI (via Axios)

Videogamer's new logo a screaming exclamation mark on the 'support independent games media' argument. Legitimately thought this was someone taking the piss when it was first posted in a discord, but no, it's on the site. You have to laugh (or else you'll cry)

LRT about the Taito photo goes hand in hand with this video by Kurzgesagt, talking about how AI posted by official sources will creep back into the datasets as legit information until it will be impossible to verify what is real and what’s not

I'd legit love to make a game using rigged sprites some day, i did an aprils fools post about an undiscovered snes resident evil 2 port using the same technique a couple years back:

Im Mai habe ich über meine (recht positiven) VR-Erfahrungen mit Alien: Rogue Incursion geschrieben. Inzwischen ist mit der Evolved Edition auch ein Non-VR-Port für PS 5, Xbox Series und PC erschienen. Ich würde allerdings definitiv zu VR raten, wenn ihr die Wahl habt: youtu.be/TF79l6It5fo

Look, I’m not an artist but I think your marketing "illustrator" doesn't know how bikes work and it seems like he could not decide if the boy’s hands should be comic style with 4 fingers or realistic with 5 🤷‍♂️ I know #indiedev is hard but I'd rather have crude looking art than soulless slop #fuckAI

Chill Zambas To Play Cards Against The Devil To. Music by @matiasjolmedo ❤️ Steam page coming this year! For sure!

Kult-Publisher Acclaim ist zurück und #Katanaut von @voidmawgames.bsky.social ist sicher einer der interessantesten Titel im neuen Line-up. Ich habe mich mal als Cyber-Ninja Naut durch die Horden kosmischen Horrors geschlitzt und meine Eindrücke hier zusammengetragen: polygonien.de/2025/09/kata...

Things were better when computer was in room. Now everywhere is computer. This is bad. Computer should never have escaped room.

Two weeks after the release of Casebook 1899 I'm looking back: was it a good idea to release a game on the same day as the most wishlisted game ever? And does German-only voice-acting help or hinder international success?

Ich freue mich über die Auszeichnung, aber auch über die Tatsache, dass auch Computerspiele mittlerweile solche Auszeichnungen bekommen können.

If you see this, QTP with a title screen that's iconic to you!

Der gute Gregor erreicht heute mit seinem famosen Retro-Adventure endlich die Ziellinie. Kaum zu glauben, dass es sein erstes Spiel ist 👏 Ich war schon damals vom Kickstarter begeistert und hoffe sehr, die hiesige #Adventure Community sorgt dafür, dass der Launch trotz #Silksong nicht untergeht. 🗣️📣

Habe das SH2-Remake noch nicht gespielt, aber das Video beschreibt sehr gut, warum ich in vielen Fällen doch lieber das Original spiele. Gerade die Einschätzung bezüglich der Kamera bzw. Perspektive ist absolut auf den Punkt 👏

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI: At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

Screw it. This is ARKEO. Coming 2026. The journey involves interacting with indigenous villages, gathering information, and deciphering ancient clues to uncover the hidden secrets of the Mayan civilization. #gbstudio #gbdev #indiedev #retro #pixelart

Say it with me: Kurze Spiele verdienen mehr Aufmerksamkeit! Genau deswegen empfehle ich ab jetzt alle zwei Wochen einen kurzen Titel bei @spielkritik.bsky.social. Schaut gerne mal rein, wird bestimmt was für euch dabei sein :) spielkritik.com/2025/08/18/s...

Introduce yourself with the last five concerts you attended: Nine Inch Nails Master Boot Record Jimmy Eat World Hot Mulligan Thumpasaurus Verglichen mit früher war ich in den letzten paar Jahren zwar echt selten auf Konzerten, aber dafür waren es fast durchweg Lieblingsbands und tolle Abende 👏
