Der Staat investiert Hunderte Millionen € in Games - mit wenigen Ausnahmen entstünden aber nur "Flops am Fließband", schrieb die @wirtschaftswoche.bsky.social im April. Der Beitrag löste im Bundestag kritische Nachfragen beim Wirtschaftsministerium aus - jetzt liegen die Antworten vor.

From August 21 to 25, you can play #ParkingWorld at Gamescom!🅿️🚙 But before you can visit our booth, enjoy our trailer on this #TrailerTuesday! #IndieDev #Indiegame #Gamescom2024

I did this in 10 hours. 😏 Where will you be in 5? youtu.be/HJayfylg6OY

Die Branche schiebt Frust - und für die CDU/CSU ist klar, wer Schuld daran hat: „Habeck wollte unbedingt das Games-Referat in seinem Haus haben, jetzt beerdigt er es." #kolumne

Oh what's this? 👀 Keep your eyes peeled! youtu.be/bBjiGcjGiuw

So I just found out that apparently, a lemon is not naturally occurring, and is a hybrid by cross breeding a bitter orange, and a citron! Which means life never gave us lemons! We invented them all by ourselves!

#UnityTips You have heard about the formatting options of strings, but did you know these work for structs like Vector3? Use them in your interpolated strings to get a nicer output! In our example the F2 formats the float components to two digits. #gamedev #indiedev

Oh, mighty information sign. Tell me, is there a free Parking space that can be mine? #WishlistWednesday Wishlist our game on steam! t.co/UjOqaVrzrZ #ParkingWorld #IndieGame #IndieDev

Ahh... The city skyline at dawn. There’re incentives to being an early riser. ☕ #ScreenshotSaturday #ParkingWorld #indiegame #indiedev

A game tester walks into a bar   Walks into a bar Runs into a bar Crawls into a bar Dances into a bar Flies into a bar Jumps into a bar   And orders: a beer 2 beers 0 beers 99999999 beers a lizard in a beer glass -1 beer "asdf" beers   A real player walks into the bar and asks where the bathroom is

We are currently working on improving our visuals in #parkingworld. Look at this difference in our water! 😀  #VfxFriday

Too tight corners, too small parking spaces, bad air, no charging stations - soon you can do better! In Parking World you can design the perfect parking garage!🚗 Add it to your wishlist now! 👉https://store.steampowered.com/app/2551570/Parking_World/?l

New week, new screenshot. We've been asked a few times what a parking garage in #parkingworld could look like. Something like this. What do you think? Is this a proper parking garage or what? 🥳 Wishlists are welcome. Thank you 🥰 👇 store.steampowered.com/app/2551570/... #indiegame #indiedev

#UnityTips Need to avoid real transparency? Try dithering! 😎 With just a handful of nodes you can create the effect to fake transparency or stylize the look of your project. Its also faster than real transparency. 🤯 Check the screenshot for an example setup! #indiedev #gamedev

We have already posted some pictures from #parkingworld. But do you want to see the game live? @jenswiechering.bsky.social joins Erst's stream and together they play some scenarios and talk about the game. It starts at 10:30 am. twitch.tv/erst #gamedev #indedev

Choo Choo, all aboard. The weekend is coming up. In #ParkingWorld we also have a rail system, of course. "But it's Parking World, how do I park a train?" We're talking about park & ride here. Park outside the city and take the train into the city. 😊 #indiegame #indiedev

Als Mitglied im @gameverband.bsky.social waren wir ebenfalls in Berlin beim #gameSommerfest dabei. Spannende Gespräche mit Vertretern aus der Gamingbranche sowie der Politik inklusive. Für uns als kleines Studio ist das Sommerfest schon ein wichtiges Happening mit wertvollem Austausch.

🚀 #UnityTips Enhance your UI with TextMeshPro! Use TMP_Text.ForceMeshUpdate() to ensure your text updates instantly after changing properties. Perfect for dynamic HUDs and dashboards in your projects. 🛠️ #gamedev #unity3d #TextMeshPro

Hey #WishlistWednesday! Yes, we know that the game idea is a bit unusual. But someone had to realize it. 😇 Super short: In #parkingworld you can build and manage your own parking lots and parking garages. It's so crazy, you have to #steamwishlist it 👇 store.steampowered.com/app/2551570/...

The weather is lousy, but #ParkingWorld is currently celebrating the Prune Festival. We're alone there at the moment. 😑 But we are preparing for another festival, but shhh! 😉 It's a secret. Tune in next week for more details!

#UnitysTips Vsync is part of the project quality settings. If you want to give the player access to this setting you can store an int in the PlayerPrefs and set it on scene start. Our example stores "Don*t sync" & "Every V Blank" for the use in a toggle field👇 #gamedev #indiedev

A lot of time and energy went into this! I am proud of what we did there. Try it in the upcoming steam next festival!

Hello world, here is our new account, where we want to keep you up to date with the latest information, screenshots, videos and promotions about #parkingworld. What is Parking World? An economy sim focused on parking areas. Is that ok? :) Wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/2551570/...

#UnityTips Here are some different approaches to check a collection for its length. Some examples might better fit your coding style than others. Always use the ones that fit your team and give you the maximum readability. #indiedev #gamedev #godottips

I rarely go on vacation but if I go it better be like this ❤️

#UnityTips Unity 2023.1 Introduces Awaitable Class! Awaitable is a new type used to expose asynchronous code, as well as an async return type specifically tailored for Unity applications. #gamedev #indiedev

#unitytips Show players what key to press for an action with support for multiple input devices? With help of PlayerInput and a nicely made InputActionAsset it is automated entirely. This utilizes ToDisplayString which converts bindings into strings. #indiedev #gamedev

Auch ein Bereich in dem wir als @binaryimpact.de umtriebig sind. Games können aktiv und motivierend in diversen Gesundheitstherapien eingesetzt werden!

#UnityTip #csharp spans are ref structs which enables changing value types stored in them. This allows convenient enumeration of parts of arrays, allocation free. Here is a short example updating a slice of an array and working directly on the enumerator 👇 #gamedev #indiedev

#Unitytips You can use the Reset function to always set up GameObjects in the same way. Reset is called when you select it from the context menu and when a component is added. Use it to fill components with default values. #GameDev #indiedev

#CodingTips In #csharp, the null coalescing operator (??) is used to simplify null checks and provide a default value. In our example we also used ? to make a non nullable to a nullable type. #UnityTips #GodotTips #indiedev #gamedev

A current screenshot from #parkingworld We are currently working on a few nice scenarios. Here, for example, is the annual Prune Festival. Please don't ask.... :) Wishlist? <3 store.steampowered.com/app/2551570/...

#UnityTips Noticing a glitch with #Unity splines in linear mode? This comes down to a calculation error when the handles are 0. Fix it by resampling the spline at invalid directions t = 0 + epsilon & t = 1 - epsilon. Epsilon is a small self defined number. #gamedev #indiedev

Wer Games bei Amazon bestellt, muss künftig schneller entscheiden, ob er die Ware auch wirklich behalten will: Die bisher übliche Rückgabefrist halbiert sich auf 14 Tage. www.gameswirtschaft.de/wirtschaft/a...

#UnityTips Keep in mind that if you override a function marked as editor only, it will cause a build error due to a missing function to override. Console and VS / Rider will not give a warning for this case. #gamedev #indiedev

#UnityTips Here is a little gist to find the closest point on a ray to a given point. It also gives you the the distance in an out parameter without any square roots! If the point is "behind" the ray's origin the closest point is the origin! #math #gamedev #indiedev

Isn't that a cute graffiti? #indiedev #gamedev

#CodingTips Compile time static references in attributes🤯 Use name of classes in attributes through string concatenation. This does NOT work with string interpolation $"...". The Example is a #unity3d one but the concept is valid for #GodotEngine as well! #gamedev #UnityTips

#CodingTips Avoid returning null for collections in #csharp! This removes the need for null checks in the code that consumes the call. Return the type IReadOnlyList<T> to work only on the content and return Array.Empty<T> to not allocate memory. #UnityTips #GodotTips #indiedev

Trotz wirtschaftlicher Stärke gehört #Hessen zu den Schlusslichtern bei der Unterstützung der regionalen #Games-Branche. Wir arbeiten gemeinsam mit game Hessen daran, die Bedingungen für die Games-Unternehmen vor Ort zu verbessern. @janklose.bsky.social
