On my way to Bavaria to this years edition of Level Up by Games/Bavaria. Looking forward to share some insights and meet new teams 🚂 www.games-bavaria.com/level-up-der...

™️Marketing Strategies for the Games Industry - a Hybrid Workshop with the Erich Pommer Institute The Play, Promote, Publish workshop is back! It runs over 5 days, with the in-person kick-off happening right before Games Ground in Berlin on the 12th of November. 1/4 🧶

I am happily going to GIC Poznan again. This year I have the pleasure of being the expert leading the trip together with some German indies via the awesome Kreativ-Transfer program and the wonderful Sophia Herzog... 1/2 🧶 gic.gd

Dungeons of Hinterberg by Microbird Studio is currently 60 % off and also on a Humble Bundle. Get it now - it´s a great game - you won´t regret it! 🕹️ store.steampowered.com/app/1983260/...

Which Berlin indie game studios are on Bsky? Help me out for a little starter package in the future please: @paintbucket.de @megagonindustries.bsky.social @toukana.bsky.social @byterockers.games @tametick.bsky.social @bildundtonfabrik.bsky.social @happybroccoligames.bsky.social #sharingiscaring

I sometimes wish back to the times, where there was no AI to brighten up my day with images of my silly ideas and stealing my time, but sometimes I am just happy reading my favourite book "Conni is coding in Berlin" 😅 #indiegamedev

It drives me nuts. This #balatro challenge 20! I know how it theoretically will work, but it needs so much random numbers that align at the right time, that it is quite luck dependent and needs so many tries. Anyway - sooner or later - I (or my OCD) will get over it hopefully 🃏

Incredible - the game design and scribble behind Dome Keeper! Great talk by @bippinbits.bsky.social 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKJD...

Going to Poznan again this year - organizing a trip therefore - more infos will follow. Like to stay up-to-date. If you want to know how it is there as an indie read this great blox entry - thx @rotxblau.bsky.social for the shoutout 💌 www.rotxblau.com/coyote-devlo...

Huge guitare hero fan here 🎸 Please Red Octane bring something great back soonish: www.gamesindustry.biz/redoctane-is... #teamLesPaul

I am running an educational course together with the EPI Institute and Ruth Lemmen and lot of games industry exports about the challenges of making games as an indie on the business site. Check out the webpage and join us! There is still an early bird option 🦚

Less texting, more devcom & gamescom preparation I am starting tomorrow Saturday to Cologne. See you there all soon and ping me if ya wanna meet 🚂 #ddc2025

This one thing you need to do before gamescom is getting on: Get your exhibitor party ticket ready 🥳

After leaving faceb--k I am slowly rebuilding the audience on LinkedIn 🆙 Looking forward to gamescom and devcom to see you all soonish! 👀 #roadtogamescom #ddc2025

I am taking one weekend off and suddenly I miss all the changes going on at Valve/ Steam. Crazy thing it is. After being quite libertarian on school shooter simulators and similar stuff suddenly the payment provider decide about the content. Maybe it is time to break the monopoly ✊ 1/2 🧶

I am such a big fan of the gold box games from SSI that this bundle is a must-buy once more for me, even if I bought it in parts already on Steam, GOG, as a box, etc. Thanks to the Gold Box Companion you can enjoy some of these RPGs still in a decent way today. 1/2 🧶

Finally made it into Balatro 🃏 Good times ah - and "buy more indie games, they are the lifeblood of this industry." (👇 Watch) youtu.be/AamFDYUaMhM PS: Thx @danaalex.bsky.social for giving me the final nudge to go there!

What an amazing piece of info about Valve and Steam. Read it! Also featuring hats 🎩 www.ft.com/content/f4a1...

Welcome to the future 😑 "Many of the staff cut will effectively be replaced by the AI tools they built and trained" 👑 mobilegamer.biz/laid-off-kin...

I was there Gandalf - a three thousand years ago ... One of those rare presentations that really influenced me over the years, as I was happy to be there in San Francisco at GDC in 2012 🎩 It feat. everything from achievements to hats, f2p, marketplaces, etc. cdn.steamstatic.com/apps/valve/2...

I am going to the @gamecityhamburg.bsky.social Summerfest tomorrow on short notice. Who do I see there?

I am reading The Sierra Adventure right now - The Story of Sierra On-Line by Shawn Mills. And even as I am old, I still need to look up some older games mentioned. Like 1984 Mickey´s Space Adventure ... 🧶 1/2

Greetings from FFM and the German Dev Days. I am here all day and night, ping me if you want to know, waht i can do for you or if you just wanna talk about game business or life in general 🎉

Make it rain 💵

Once again overwhelmed how far the games industry came over the years ... While watching the Summer Game Fest 2025 ( a bit late - but hey - at least it is summer now) trailer galore, see artists like Mads Mikkelsen enter the state to talk about a game - still mindblowing 🤯

@fishingminigames.bsky.social Pro-Tip: You should align the avatar picture fishing rod so it matches the thread line in Bluesky - if you get what i mean :) 🎣

A life with Bongo Cat is possible—but should it be? 😸

Never gonna give you up, Never gonna let you down 🎶

There is #noking, but "9 Kings". Look out for this great game at this sad day to spend some time mentally off - like I just did. Great already and still early access <3 store.steampowered.com/app/2784470/...

Greetings from beautiful, sunny Leipzig and Nerdicon 2025. Sitting inside right now, listen to some talks, but also enjoying company of nice ppl like Ratking-Jana, @rotxblau.bsky.social - Richard, Søren Tugboat Lass and all the folks I see later on the rooftop terrace for the networking 🎉

I started using @espanso as my new text expander after unhappy experiences with (a)breevy. Anyone else there using it as well and wants to share best hacks/ matches? #espanso espanso.org

Finally, the location of the Berlin House of Games has been revealed and yay it´s close to Warschauer Straße. 💯 Sometime in 2026 the first people might move in - let´s see how this works out. I am excited as we are talking about 10.000 square meters + for the local games industry 🥳

Apply & go there if you can - it´s fun 👇

[German only - picture] sorry - as it is german politics: The new coalition still loves the games people - they want to support us further with a new funding scheme that shall be more reliable and better fitting. Let´s see how this will work out 🕹 Thanks #medianet for sharing.

🧶 When you read this, I am already travelling 24 hours. I am going to Reboot Develop Blue by (Night-)Train and Bus (sadly). Not because I can save money and time as it is more expensive and takes longer than flying, which Iam also not afraid of. I simply like riding trains and 1/3
