Woke up to find out that my pixel version of «The Lesson» by @cadwellturnbull.bsky.social has been added to the Little Pixel Library. 😱🥰 Right next to Ursula K. LeGuin. 🩵 Check out the rest of the library: hillhouse.neocities.org/cliques/libr... #pixelart #books #scifi #ScienceFiction #pixel #books

I will be showing these in my typography class where we are looking at integrating hand lettering and typefaces. Coincidentally, typography and lettering are two areas of graphic design that AI is really, really bad at. The past becomes the future. #typography #lettering #GraphicDesign

Ich verstehe einfach nicht, wie Leute, die ständig von „Wirtschaft“ und „Wachstum“ reden, so standhaft ignorieren können, was GLOBAL wirklich wächst. Warum wollen Sie unbedingt auf fallende Kurven setzen? Ich verstehe es wirklich nicht. Es muss Ideologie sein.

Es ist eine große Schlappe für die Strafverfolgungsbehörden, die versuchen, die ehemalige Klimagruppe Letzte Generation nach Paragraf 129 zu einer kriminellen Vereinigung erklären zu lassen. 👉 taz.de/!6168839/

Two weeks ago I played some «The Incredible Machine» (covered in PC Games 3/1993: www.kultboy.com/index.php?si...). 🎈🔫🥊🎾This time I went for puzzle mode & solved 14 of them; it wasn’t that much fun, tho. Free experimentation was always the core of this game. 💁‍♂️ #PCgames #33YearsAgo #dosGaming #games

what if we got a 100% blockrate on it. what if they designed an AI and we unanimously said "nope"

Spent the last two weeks learning Godot 🤖 and turning a paper prototype into a digital one. 🃏➡️📺 I am happy to say that for the first time in years, I actually feel comfortable using an engine again. 💪🥳 (cat by @katitan.bsky.social 🐱) #screenshotsaturday #indiegames #gamedev #prototype #permaculture

mortals 👀 I am in a game. it is called Oh Apollo! you work at my oracle. you fix my temple. you try to impress me. wishlist on Steam 🔥

Last weekend I gave a bread baking workshop at Spelkollektivet and people made super nice bread and rolls. It was such a pleasure to see, how happy they were. #bread #baking #gamedev #indiegames #breadandgames

I'm so sick of seeing AI disclaimers like this. The solution to not having the budget for voice acting isn't to use AI, it's to not have voice acting at all! Games don't need VO to be good! By jamming in slopvoices, you're not making your game better, you're making it worse and reprehensible!

Last minute #screenshotsaturday. It does not look like much, but I got a lot of basic implementation done. This is my first proper game as a solodev in Godot, therefore my progress is slow, but surprisingly steady atm. First playable soon. 🥳 #gamedev #indiegame #godot #companionplanting #plants

Yesterday we had «Arts & Crafts» at Spelkollektivet and I decided to draw some portraits. ✍️Pretty happy with the results, should do that more often. 😌 #sketches #drawing #linedrawing #art #portrait

You'd think they'd want to discuss how it won as many awards as The Matrix, ET, Fellowship of the Ring, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Parasite... How it has the most wins of any Vampire movie ever... How its success further cements that Coogler's deal could be Hollywood's future. But alas. It's Black.

On my way to Spelkollektivet for a two-and-a-half-week stay; preparing my game for CAGGTUS Leipzig and Baltic Games Fest. 👨‍💻🌱🫜🍅 Taking the Swedish night train to Malmö – still my favorite mode of travel. 🚅🛌🛌🛌🛌🛌✨ Did some UI sketches on my way to Hamburg. #gamedev #indiegames #nighttrain #traintravel

Figuring out an art style proves to be as hard as expected. 🙃 I have to be able to make assets myself in a timely manner. ⏱️ The style needs to communicate clearly and it should attract the eyes of the players. 👀 I am not there yet, but I keep trying. #indie #gamedev #indiegame #gameart #permaculture

Last week I created another paper prototype for my upcoming permaculture thinky game. ✂️🫜🪏 It was the first time in quite a while I really felt in control of the prototype – it had just enough rules and I could play with them comfortably without being overwhelmed. 😌 #gamedev #prototype #indiegames

This month I played «Microprose Formula One Grand Prix» (reviewed in PC Games 2/1993: www.kultboy.com/index.php?si...). 🏎️ I very much enjoyed some nostalgia in the menus (love the map view) and I can see, how this was a big technical achievement back then. 🏁 #games #33YearsAgo

I really appreciate this TikToker with Tourette syndrome, Shay, for taking the time to educate so many of us (including me) about her disability and coprolalia in light of what happened at the BAFTAs with John Davidson when Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage. I learned a lot.

Are you excited for the #SteamNextFest? Because we for sure are! Garden Ink is part of the Steam Next Fest. So if you haven't already, try the demo for yourself. Or even better, Wishlist our little hand drawn cozy game. (∪ ◡ ∪)

Feeling a little better after being sick in bed on the weekend and built a little stacking game in Godot. It’s not much, but a playful approach of getting back into using the engine might be exactly what I need. #babysteps #godot #stacking #gamedev #indiegames #learning

You should read this, especially if you have the feeling that the world just gets worse & worse. There is actual progress happening, even if you cannot feel or see it, because it is slow & sometimes hard to recognize (and it is underreported): fixthenews.com/p/the-teleme... #news #goodnews #progress

Last week I tried to play «Storm Master» again (reviewed in PC Joker 3/92: ‪kultboy.com/index.php?site=t&i…‬). 🌬️⛵️ I still cannot crack it – there is so much to do, so many options. 🤯 The style, however, still lures me in – I love that the council is your interface to the kingdom. #games #33YearsAgo

Heute startet in Erfurt die #MAGC und wir freuen uns sehr, dass die #PressStart Teams @theroofinteractive.com und @kranich-games.bsky.social dabei sind! Wir wünschen allen Besucher*innen ganz viel Spaß beim Spielen! @gameverband.bsky.social @bundeskultur.bsky.social

Unfortunately I will not be able to take part in Global Game Jam, because there is a funeral I will be attending instead. 😔 I am still happy that I could contribute to our local jams by creating this year’s poster. 🌍🥅🗼💫 Happy GGJ! 🥳 #ggj2026 #globalgamejam #art #poster #gamedev #schleswigholstein

For weeks I have been observing the growing library of pixel books in the Little Pixel Library: hillhouse.neocities.org/cliques/libr... Yesterday I took an hour to create one myself. «The Lesson» by Cadwell Turnbull was one of my favorite books last year. 📚 #pixel #art #pixelart #book #cover #scifi

Just finished reading through Cranko!, a cute PlayDate zine I stumbled upon, because @stephanrewind.bsky.social mentioned it. 🗞️ The zine is lovingly handcrafted, I enjoyed learning about new games & dev insights (discovered «Panels»). 💛 I even was delighted by the ads. 🙃 ➡️ cranknockout.com #playdate

Some basic gameplay of sowing, growing and harvesting. 🌱🌿🌾 Not much there yet in terms of interaction (companion planting, crop rotation …), but it’s a start. 🌻 #gamedev #indiegame #indie #game #pixelart #permapunk #permaculture #gardening #roguelike

Added more visual elements, a gradient and some noise to make it a more or less proper key art. #pixel #art# #pixelart #gamedev #indiegame #indie #game #permaculture #permapunk

I am really not used to share WIP, but here you go. 🫣 Yesterday I made some pixel art tiles and UI elements for my next game prototype. 🥦🥕🥔🟩🟧🟨 Enjoy the rest of your Sunday and water some plants. 🌱🚿 #pixel #art #pixelart #gamedev #indiegame #indie

It has been exactly 1 year that I received the Press Start: Games Founding Grant and started work as a solo dev. It was not the year I envisioned, but I learned a lot about gamedev & myself. Thank you so much to the Press Start team, to my mentors & my fellow Press Startians. ✨ [photo: Luna Grüsgen]

This month I played «Might and Magic IV: Clouds of Xeen» (German review in PC Games 1/93: www.kultboy.com/index.php?si...). As a fan of «Might and Magic III», I expected to enjoy this one as well, but it was too similar and just not interesting enough to keep me playing. #PCgames #games #33YearsAgo

I recently reminisced with fellow game devs about the great games Max Design created back in the 90s. 🧡🩵 A week ago I played «1869», their sea trading simulation. ⛵️ I love the music and the pixel art; the gameplay though … not that interesting anymore (+ colonialism 🙄). 🤷‍♂️ #PCgames #games #33yearsAgo

Two days ago I played «Legend of Kyrandia: Book One» (🗞️ review in PC Games 11/92)
 Graphics & music are very Westwood; feels like coming home, if you enjoyed Dune or Lands of Lore. 😌 
The puzzles are not that difficult. I was impressed by the pixel art DOF in the intro. 🤩 #PCgames #games #33yearsAgo

I particularly enjoyed hooking the floppy drive up to my Mac and installing the game inside DosBox using the original floppy disks. 💾💾💾💾 They still work! 😊 Although it is a USB floppy drive, the sound still takes me back to the times when it was part of a 386 desktop PC. 🟠🔊 #games #33yearsAgo
