Maybe I should stick to programming ^^" (But it is an accurate depiction of rose)

Pretty accurate tbh >_>

Oh hey I'm working on a new totally normal thing >_>

gamescom asia is over! Some highlights include: - Getting stuck in the Bangkok metro during rush hour while trying to catch a flight (not recommended) - No way of turning off the AC and catching a cold while it's 32°C outside

Oh wow, didn't have Polygon calling our game an Indie gem on my bingo card o-o www.polygon.com/panta-rhei-i...

Huge personal and professional milestone - first time singing on stage at Maraoke during gamescom :3

Fashionably late, but now also on the way to gamescom! With 1 released title, 1 new studio and 2.5 new projects in the pipeline I have some things to chat about ^-^7 Soooo let's wave at each other awkwardly trying to remember if we met before ^^"

Whoops, I think we released a game o-o

Eyyyy, Panta Rhei has a release date now (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

After 4 years of training I am getting quite good at the time control combos in our #indiegame ^^" youtu.be/YJbZ-CNd1kE

Yooo last week we hosted our first Indie #gamedev Hangout with creAT and it was an absolute blast! It's sooo cool getting all those talented people together to have a little Indie LAN party :3 Really hope we get to do his again in the future ^^

We have cool trains in our adventure rogue-lite @pantarheigame.bsky.social now :3

Had a super awesome time with our creAT indie games area at Austria Comic Con! Feels really good to get all those amazing #gamedev together to showcase their projects :3 I also got to exhibit the @pantarheigame.bsky.social demo ^-^7

We've created a Starter Kit with other indie games that have playable demos out now! Check them out, and happy gaming :) #gaming #indiegame #gamedemo #games #gamedev

Heh, we actually sat there with clipboards and analysed the movie for its narrative structure and plot twist... Best use of work hours so far :3

Two weeks ago we launched the WE ARE Workshops 2025 by Gold Extra with a game ideation intro! We ended with cats challenging zombies in ping pong tournaments to collect hair balls so I'm counting this as an astounding success ^^

Honestly that's just my normal gameplay with all the speed buffs applied >_>

Sometimes I wake up in cold sweat, remembering the time I had to implement curcle ._.

Introduce your indie game in the thread below on this #ShowcaseThursday 💭 #indiegame #gamedev #developer

Last week I was invited to chat with @thewobblygamer.bsky.social and @ckeywood.bsky.social about Panta Rhei and our story in becoming indie developer. Was lovely talking to them, just ignore the last part where I can't think of any games starting with the letter P >_>

psssst... we've got some concepts to share with ya'll! don't tell anyone 🤐

Sooo I recently did a talk at a project management conference about why #gamedev is hard... and I learned that doing projects that are not games is also hard o-o But it's always really valuable to peek outside my core bubble and do some reality checks ^^"

I kinda miss his encouraging "You are not strong enough for this" >-<"

Are you sick and tired of your art getting stolen and used as AI fodder? Use the Glaze! glaze.cs.uchicago.edu

so, I got a bit sick of people asking me about generative AI and @yarnspinner.dev, so I wrote some LinkedIn-style (sorry) thought leadership on the matter hey.paris/posts/genai/

Life as a game designer is prototyping your meta with dice and excel sheets while catching up on combat robotics:3

Hi guys! I am excited to share a breakdown article I made for 80LVL: Inside of it I explain some more technical stuff regarding my previous environment. Have fun! 80.lv/articles/how... #gameart #levelart #3dart #blender #unrealengine #substancepainter #substancedesigner #ue5

One of my oldest #boardgame prototypes has the working title "Flippin Mages" - it's a flicking dexterity game that pitches two or more players against each other in a spell-slinging, disk-flicking showdown.

Since boardgame prototypes seem interesting right now I'll dig up all my current projects and make some posts about them... so stay tuned for that?

This is not to call anybody specific out but often we reinvent the wheel for project management because directors and leads have ways they like to work, simply do not budge, and then production has to slap something together around that. I like to work with people on systems that help them (cont)

Last cozy #gamedev co-working stream of the year :3 www.twitch.tv/reignitegames

Finished reading the book "The Making of Prince of Persia", here are nine quotes I highlighted: "You need to put in some cheap effects so people will notice the expensive ones."

My project is finally done! 🌞🚚 I will publish a full cinematic with audio and soundtrack on wednesday, but here are some key shots in the meantime. Have good evening! :) #gameart #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine #ue5 #unrealengine5 #3dart #digitalart #art #3d

I recently found this survey for a work thing (www.womeningames.org/wp-content/u...). With how popular The Witcher is now compared to 10 or 15 years ago, The Witcher 4 is a great opportunity to improve the representation of women in games, if done well.

If you think about it, the very best books are really just extremely long spells that turn you into a different person for the rest of your life

How else would you manage?

It's snowing, we're locked in a remote cabin on the countryside and we're playing the whole Scythe Rise of Fenris campaign - I'd say a pretty good weekend :3

Hello people in Bluesky! I design and program games since 2006, mostly at @brokenrulesgames.bsky.social. Looking forward to chatting with you! Here are screenshots of some of the games I worked on:
