Our Piotr Gnyp connected legendary Polish developer Maciej Miąsik with The Strong National Museum of Play. The archive of the iconic studio X-Land now has a safe, long-term home. We hope more creators choose to preserve their work and follow this path. Watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=EwLIMF8E5eQ

Na swoim profilu X Piotr Gnyp (@tipheret.bsky.social), weteran branży #gamedev, zaproponował ustanowienie 𝐍𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐠𝐨 𝐃𝐧𝐢𝐚 𝐆𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐖𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨. 🎮 🇵🇱 Zgadzamy się z taką potrzebą i uważamy, że takie święto powinno zaistnieć. Pytanie: kiedy? 🤔 Kilka propozycji: link.cdaction.pl/GR4 #IndieDev #Games #Gaming

@jovince.bsky.social Hi there, how can i reach you via email?

@wabbaboy.dev hey there, how can I reach you via email?

Managed to pull it off! GOG at Future Games Show with a great video, a warm shoutout from the hosts, and—most exciting—a Tier 1 show highlighting game preservation. Really proud of how this one turned out. 🎮✨ youtu.be/qCd9xOm1pkE?...

My plan for tomorrow? @gammuseum_ in Roma 🎮🔥

On my second visit to the Vatican, I encountered “In Principio (e poi)” by Studio Azzurro—an interactive video installation on three massive black screens, with a fourth below for sound.

It’s 2025, and my kid just declared that from now on, all vacation photos will be taken exclusively on a Nintendo 3DS. Pure hipster energy 😎

First time seeing a sushi vending machine at an airport—kind of tempting to try it. 🤔🍣

What a wonderful collaboration between GOG and PSX Extreme. Take a look at this special edition of the magazine that highlights PC games from the 90s. ❤️ Check how each game is marked to indicate whether it is available on GOG and included in the GOG Preservation Program. Watch until the end‼️

Great to see @theretroasylum.bsky.social diving into game preservation with GOG! Huge thanks to the hosts for having us—always important to talk about why keeping classic games alive matters. Hope you all enjoy the episode! 🎙️ 🎧 Listen here:

Spent the weekend at GameHearts repping GOG. The event focused on how gamedev connects with culture, policy & economy at both EU and national levels. I made sure game preservation and real industry support were front and center. Now let’s see if these ideas turn into real action where it matters!

Even though I know some of these stories—working at GOG means game preservation is always on my mind—it’s great hearing the team talk about why and how we fight for it. Thanks @theretrohour.com for having us! Thanks The Retro Hour for having us! 🎧 Listen:

Hey indiedevs and gamedev folks, if you’re thinking about working with a publisher, give buff.ly/2FQxlvV a look. Great resource to navigate contracts—must-read before signing anything.

Graffiti near my workplace: “The ego of ‘artists’ is the enemy of artistic progress!” Surprisingly sharp take for random graffiti. But is art even possible without an artist’s ego?

I haven't seen ice on the Vistula River in quite some time.

It’s a great feeling to organize interviews like this and help raise awareness about important topics—our digital cultural heritage and the fight to preserve it https://buff.ly/3QCO7A1

Had a blast doing this interview about GOG, its origins, and how it works with Vice. A topic close to my heart, featuring amazing people, some stories were told for first time ever, and hey—I’m on Vice! Thanks @lejenk603.bsky.social for this opportunity ❤️ www.vice.com/en/article/f...

KCD2 update: After the initial excitement, reality hit—this game is overwhelming. So many details to track—food, item durability, and more.

Apparently, in 2012, I wrote an article for @gazeta_wyborcza predicting what 2025 would look like… and then completely forgot about it. Just found the link—behind a paywall. Was I a genius or way off? Not paying to find out. 😆 https://buff.ly/4aVVMmg

@theretrohour.com We’d love to chat about game preservation—what it really takes to keep classics playable and how we’re making it happen with the GOG Preservation Program. DM me or email pgnyp(at)gog.com if you’re interested!

Maybe it's not about your game prototype; maybe it's because of you? 🙃

It’s been a year since I started using the Journal app on my iPhone almost daily. It’s a great stoic exercise and an amazing way to reflect on the past. Highly recommend it—it’s more important than it seems!

Spektakl "Po tamtej stronie jeziora" 3 zespołu @TeatrOchoty (aktualnie najlepszego teatru w Warszawie) w pierwszej części mnie zachwycił, a w drugiej zirytował.

Foggy Warsaw

Finished The Quarry. I loved Until Dawn, but this didn’t quite hit the same mark. It feels more like an interactive movie than a game, with unclear choices, plot holes, and minimal emotional impact. QTEs are too easy, and the rest feels cliché. A bit of a letdown.

In Polish, we have a word “zapiecek”—the warm spot behind the stove where grandparents used to sleep in peasant cottages. One of my cats, Gacuś, loves warmth so much, I think he’s just rediscovered this concept for himself! 🐾🔥

Been working on this video since late December, and I’m thrilled to finally share it! Huge thanks to the amazing team at GOG and everyone involved. We’ve created something truly meaningful for game preservation. 🎮💾 Watch here: youtu.be/R8UHWH_FOc4?...

Excited to share that GOG has joined @efgamp.bsky.social , Europe’s largest video game preservation organization! Thrilled to have been part of making this happen. Read more about this important step here: gog.prowly.com/375292-gog-j... 🎮💾 #GamePreservation #EFGAMP #GOG

Finally watched Substance—what a film! Stunning visuals, colors, music, grotesque themes, capitalism, advertising, and human greed. The erotic scenes were fascinatingly not arousing, and the body horror was unforgettable. Highly recommend—director & cinematographer added to my watchlist!

Oh, look, it’s winter again

Aream & Co survey included about 50 gaming company executives; conducted in December 2024

Started to feel a bit fatigued with Planet of Lana, so while waiting for my co-op partners for BG3 and Quarry, I tried a few new titles. Citizen Sleeper feels a bit too complex and text-heavy for now, but Nobody Wants to Die is incredible.

Bought two more games on the PlayStation Sale - Talos Principle 2 and The Case of the Golden Idol… Now I need to “just” find some time to finish them all 🙃

Somehow, I missed the memo that Apple Intelligence will be available in the EU in April

For the first time in years, I messed up buying a train ticket (wrong station in the same city). I was on time but missed my train. Luckily, another train came soon after, but no seats available—so I’ll be standing in the corridor. What an adventure 😠

"If we live in a US hegemony, where US-based media, academia and culture dominates the conversation, then it’s only logical that the examples & omissions come mostly from Americans writing about their interests." https://buff.ly/4iYPhCL

Ah, so Planet of Lana is like Inside, but with pastel colors and an Ico-like vibe! So far, it’s been amazing to play. Definitely worth checking out! 🎮✨

Finished Chorus —a very fun space shooter! The story is forgettable, but the atmospheric triple voice of the protagonist is a standout. Dogfights with enemy fleets were thrilling, especially when bigger ships appeared; boss battles, not so much

I love Warsaw in the fog—it suddenly turns into a city straight out of cyberpunk. This time, we even got a bonus: a haunted Palace of Culture. 🎭🌫️

“Where does the sun go when it’s sleeping? Is the wolf always bad? Where does the hedgehog scuttle at night? 🌞🐺🦔” This is the beginning of the theme song from Domowe Przedszkole, a beloved Polish children’s show. And now I know where the sun sleeps—on Żoliborz, Warsaw 🇵🇱
