So what do you think about level editors in puzzle games? Is that something you want or would use? Is there a game that you enjoyed more because of the level editor or community levels? #indieGameDev #puzzleGames #levelEditor

Yeah, we are very much in the Kei range with our games 😅 Interesting to see in the article: even though the number of kei games increases rapidly, their total market share stays at about 25% of games sold. No wonder it's getting more and more difficult to sell small games... #indieGameDev

We are currently finishing up the mobile release of TRAILS! 🎉 Not entirely sure all of it was worth it though - I mean does anyone even care about achievements on mobile? Just adding the translations in the terrible online interfaces was a good 5-6 hours... #indieGameDev #puzzleGames #mobileGame

We had the chance to introduce our game on stage today #gamescom with a few of our colleagues from the games accelerator program. That was super exciting to tell an audience in person about Frame of Mind - A game of thoughts. #indiedev #gamedev #pitching #indiegame

Trails is hitting mobile soon, and it’ll come with a limited free version to give you a taste. So we thought it was only fair to bring a demo to our desktop platforms too.

Just make it exist first - you can make it good later! When developing our game TRAILS, a lot of time was spent on improvements and polish, but the crucial first step was a prototype that was created in less than a week! #indieGameDev #prototyping

It's supposedly about porn and abuse at the moment, but "adult content" will include any form of queerness soon enough! We need to create alternatives - but in the meantime we also need to stand together and fight what is happening! #sexWorkIsWork
