Starter Kit: Racing for @godotengine.org is releasing next week!

Open-source and great as a base for your racing game using my well-known sphere ball technique. It might be a little rough around the edges but I really want to finally release this ✨

Wenn Du Dein Bildungsangebot als Öffentlich-Rechtlicher Sender durch deine Produktionsfirmen inflationär mit KI bebildern lässt und nicht professionelle Animationen und Illustrationen verwendest, nehme ich an, dass Du auch inhaltlich nicht bereit bist, auf Qualität zu achten. #justsaying

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.

His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.

Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

Found some older studies. I like the blurry sketch vibe there. #procreate #art #artstudy #ikebana #noAI

As grown-ups we can often fall into the trap of leaning towards serious or ‘issue heavy’ kid’s books, forgetting that kids also need and deserve books that just bring joy.

So for #KidsBooksFriday this week, what are your top fun / silly / joyful book recommendations?

Gamestorm Collective Gamestorm Collective is a non-profit organisation based in Berlin, offering infrastructure and decades of shared experiences to support both existing and new playful projects.

Speaking of Gamestorm, I'm also part of the non-profit now. The big news for 2026 is that we're rebooting as a collective, offering our infrastructure and the decades of experience running initiatives to support both existing and new projects.

Check the site for details: gamestormcollective.org

First time we're getting public funding for Talk & Play! Wouldn't have happened without:

1️⃣ Melanie Fussenegger who took care of the funding application
2️⃣ @gamestormberlin.bsky.social for providing the legal infrastructure
3️⃣ @happybroccoligames.bsky.social for the generous sponsorship

💛 💛 💛

I'm running the @amazefest.bsky.social awards since 15 years and it always surprises me, just HOW good all the submissions are.

🙏 Since yesterday, we broke a new record of entries too. Fitting for the anniversary. Can't wait to share the full list with you all next week! ❤️

More sketches made in Procreate to share. For someone who is used to work in Photoshop, it's not that easy to adapt to work on such a small screen and keep the whole overview of the image. #sketches #procreate #noAI

A kind reminder that just about all larger women in games organizations are shite and and often ran by clout chasers or worse

Hi folks 👋 I'm still around and decided to share my art journey (once again) with you, dear bluesky community. Here are some sketches I did in Procreate recently. Still trying to get comfortable, all sketches from references. #sketches #procreate #noAI

Pixel art of various animal themed robot bosses. The tag at the top says MegaGear X

People keep saying the codenames in Metal Gear Solid sound like Megaman X bosses, so I decided to give them actual designs. Matches the scale of my other X mockups.

Something I've been sitting on for several years that I finally decided to wrap up tonight.

It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive.” – James Baldwin
