PS: Pro tip - if you only spend 15 min pitching your games, you have another 15 minutes to chat about other important things, like where the best place for food is ._.

Overall, I'd say it's definitely worth going there when you have family in Thailand and can combine it with an extended stay. That said, I'm signing off for the next three weeks and focus on our local pineapple harvest :3

- Banana pancakes for breakfast (recommended)
- Amazing chats with all the lovely people I got to meet at the conference (seriously that's why I love this industry, I came to pitch some new projects, but mostly I ended up learning a lot about the industry as well)

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

This indie gem could be the summer’s best roguelike Time-bending roguelike Panta Rhei is one of the more approachable entries in the popular genre.

Oh wow, didn't have Polygon calling our game an Indie gem on my bingo card o-o

More impressions from gamescom! And new things I learned:
- It's a lot less stressful when you have somewhat of a plan
- East/West entrance only exists for entering and then disappears
- Cologne kinda beautiful
- Playing long boardgames on the train is not ideal
- I am not able to look angry ò-ó

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

Slightly insane gamedevs on the train to gamescom

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 ^^"

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 🤐

Raff looking very professional on stage, probably talking about why gamedev teams are complicated sometimes.

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 ^^"
