HERDLING releases on August 21 !!🐐🐏

Ludocene is a new games discovery tool that launched today and looks promising.

But how do we know that the people behind it are not biased towards certain games? Let's look at their office to make sure there isn't too much game merch there.

Looks fine to me.

playing the Pulse playtest. It's really good. by @richardboeser.bsky.social & @ajkolenc.bsky.social

Doing some puzzle design for an alternate game mode in Axe Ghost.

I'm very much enjoying the proces and like how some seamingly simple puzzles are surprisingly hard.

Lining up a second boost mid air feels fun.

Removed Instagram from my phone (again).
I feel this time it might stay like this.

Still use it on desktop, but there I don't tend to get stuck doomscrolling.

Today's daily is a short one again. Only two checkpoints, but a tricky start to get right.

Trello for us too.

Fuel for...
A) a healthy and fun child-dentist relationship.
B) NIGHTMARES

I don't think I will beat @ajkolenc.bsky.social today.
That third checkpoint is nasty.

We'll do some closed beta testing soon.

Join my Discord if you feel this (open world time trial with a different selection of checkpoints each day) might be something you'd enjoy.

Four times is illegal though. You are under arrest.

Today's daily challenge is a very quick one.

It has been way too long since this happened the last time, but it is good to get there again : )

It´s a good sign when you keep playing your game instead of working on it.

Pulse is an open world time trial challenge with a random selection of checkpoints each day.

Kettel who made the music for both Dubio and ibb & obb playing live at my favorite festival in Berlin.

It never stops surprising me how many little things are part of creating a game.

Box plus Scythe is my favorite combo, but I feel Void has more to offer than how I typically use it.

A call for aid: I need people who have never played Axe Ghost to screen record themselves playing through a beta update version of the Tutorial, with a key to the full game as a token of thanks. DM me for instructions if you'd like to do that. RTs very much appreciated!

Photo of the Nintendo Switch 2 console running ibb & obb.

ibb and obb are happy to have made it to the next generation.

Not too shabby for a game that started on PS3.

Dropping into the city.

A screenshot from the game engine Unity showing a large collection of buildings. The overall image feels more like a pattern than an actual city scape.

Some times I can be both a game designer and a generative artist at the same time.

Adding a bit of city racing in the mix.

Axe Ghost is out now on Steam.

I love that it brings me a daily challenge that takes around 20 minutes to play. For me it's a perfect mix of logic, planning, risk assessment and intuitive play.

Unless it is going up.
