Reminder that @indiearenabooth.de is now about 100 times the size of its original #gamescom 2013 footprint. Based on my reliable projections, it will have grown enough to change the moon orbit in 2045 and will eventually collapse unto itself to form a black hole by 2070. Worth it. P.S:: Apply!

It's been a busy month, but here they are at long last: the photos I took at @berlingamescene.bsky.social 's #TalkandPlay 54. *cracks knuckles* flic.kr/s/aHBqjCMJif

For a little side project I'm trying to get a better understanding on the #Berlin based #tabletop, #hobby #tcg and #boardgame community. For this I've built a questionnaire that should take 5-10 minutes to fill out. I would love your Input 🙇‍♂️ forms.gle/spJzh7xPbQRS... #RT highly appreciated 💖

Big news 😱

Towerborne Art Blast! I was the Environment Lead at Stoic for almost 5 years. Working on this game with the environment crew has truly been a career highlight for me. Images are from the rare opportunities I got to contribute, alongside leading all of the incredible artists listed below!

Yay for Heave Ho 2 getting announced and the existence of handcrafted press releases.

Was a joy to work on this with people who were a joy to work with. 🫡

Full house at @berlingamescene.bsky.social Talk & Play today as @sebomat.bsky.social dives into the art form that is in-game photography.

In unshocking news, you'll be able to run into me at Talk & Play 54 later today. If you're in dire need of unhelpful comments or stomach-pain-inducing puns, never hesitate to reach out to me.

It's been consistently freezing temperatures over here in the past weeks, and I'm actually enjoying doing longer hikes. Winter person, after all. #sunset

Still deeply saddened that I missed out on the Monday #auroraborealis fireworks, but I managed to capture an 'after-party' glimpse last night. #northernlights

Am kommenden Mittwoch, den 21.01.2026 bin ich mal wieder als Freiberufler unterwegs und spreche gemeinsam mit Eric Jannot über soziale Ungleichheit und Klasse in digitalen Spielen. Die Ringvorlesung »Soziale Ungleichheit, Klasse und Digitalität« ist hybrid und kann auch über Zoom verfolgt werden. 💸🎮

Did some city hiking throughout the weekend to enjoy the snow sights and just made it in time to the old flak tower at Humboldthain to gaze at the #sunset. flic.kr/p/2rRmHLK

Your opportunity to help run the best booth gamescom has to offer. 😙 #gamejobs

The Gods hunger for tribute! Build settlements and weave trade routes, feed temples and earn divine boons in Prophet Margin store.steampowered.com/app/3624110/... #TeaseYaGame

A lot to process here.

I liked Saturnalia, so this bites. Itch it is then, I suppose.

Hauled some butt over the weekend and got around to tackling the batch of photos I took at @berlingamescene.bsky.social 's Talk & Play 53. 📸🥷 flic.kr/s/aHBqjCB7Jn #indiedev #gamedev

i want enemies

Goofing around at Talk & Play as usual, listening to the folks of @happybroccoligames.bsky.social dishing out some design insight nuggets.

Hello #PitchYaGame ! Our game is MOPS & MOBS, a dungeon adventure where you look after the monsters instead of killing them - and: 👻 Help them out ⚔️ Fight with cards 🧹 Decorate the dungeon Wishlist & Play the demo & RT! Big thanks to the PYG team 🙏 #indiegames #godotengine #visualnovel #adventure

Last one for this year!

Been somewhat involved on the logistics side of things, which is, obviously, the best side of things. Ahem. Anyhoo, some sweet work by fellow peeps in the team in the 🧵.

Registrations to attend Talk & Play #53 open on Wednesday October 29 at 11:00 am Berlin time (set an alarm as the list fills up quickly) on Meetup The @happybroccoligames.bsky.social team will be giving a talk about Duck Detective: The Secret Salami! ➡️ www.meetup.com/berlingamesc... #TalkAndPlay

Some nicely lit #sunset clouds from last week. That's it. That's the post. You're welcome. flic.kr/s/aHBqjAodfi

I have enough videogame knowledge to anticipate that if you destroy the red infestation, the map and new quests for this part of the town will unlock.

My former colleague and all-around nice fella Tommy Franken did a Kickstarter boardgame 'side-gig' a few years ago that turned out to be rather successful. Happy to spread the word that he's back for more: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mar...

Been too long since I posted cat content. I deeply and sincerely apologize. Better quality: flic.kr/p/2rxEkCv

We're announcing our next game *very soon now* (I'm working on the trailer), but until then, you can get Vampire Therapist cheap! And if you don't need a little therapy now, please send me some of what you're smoking. 🙏

Well, hi! Done with the photo batch from @berlingamescene.bsky.social #TalkAndPlay 52. If you're attended or are just curious, you can find all the goods up here. (As always, sharing is caring, kthxbye.) flic.kr/s/aHBqjCvkQc

It's time for MOAR RIFFS

Listening to some info nuggets by Ian Berman at #talkandppay on the sound design of @despelote.game and the way they recorded natural audio bits in Quito.

OH FLICK! Flick Shot Rogues is out RIGHT NOW! Grab it now and get a release 10% discount: store.steampowered.com/app/2427450/... The island awaits your trickshots! #indiegame #gamedev #steamgame

Sweet replacement since Despelote is such a neat game. Will be around for the usual 📸🥷 hijinks. See ya in a bit.

I really love how this one came out. "Fantasy synthwave" was the initial concept and it may not be exactly that, but definitely feels like its own thing.

Relevant. youtu.be/U8lJRcUeEMs

You know it to be true.

Started to go through older SD cards and stumbled across this 2022 #sunset oldie. flic.kr/s/aHBqjAodfi

Coming up to the end of the fest, last chance to nab Mars Vice at 35% off. Don't forget we have a demo to tease you with and that wishlisting & reposting is free but helps!

As usual, good stuff from Ian. I'd describe it as ... Hülsbeckian with some juicy riffs?

What. @freejsf.paintbucket.de hogging the #gamescomONL spotlight as usual while niche titles like COD Black Ops 7 could have used a bit more exposure. Just great.

Another message from our DUNGEON MASTER: We are looking for a publisher - let it be known and spread the word. And tell others! We have the mystery smell! #gamescom2025 #dungeon #dungeonnovel #visualnovel #dungeonsanddragons #indiegames #indiedev #narrativeames #adventure

Wish the room hadn't become available for obvious reasons, but anyhoo. Berlin #indiedev, here's your opportunity to join the best of co-working spaces.
