Did you know that a toilet on a ship is called "head"?

Mother Machine - The Art of Chaos - Steam News A fun look at how Mother Machine creates its cavesโ€”hand-crafted chunks, smart placement, and procedural magic make every run feel fresh and exciting!

Mother Machine will release in 10 days! About time I wrote about its procedural generation: store.steampowered.com/news/app/155...

Destroy this Gameplay outtake of our upcoming coop game

I fell in love with Reddit. It perfectly fills the gap left behind by Twitter (sry bsky). The best thing so far is r/DestroyMyGame where posting will get you "brutally honest feedback for game devs". www.reddit.com/r/DestroyMyG...

10 Jahre Maschinen-Mensch: โ€žAls wรผrde man auf einer Achterbahn sitzenโ€œ - GamesWirtschaft.de Seit รผber einem Jahrzehnt baut Maschinen-Mensch erfolgreiche Indie-Games โ€“ mit Mother Machine wagt sich das Studio auf neues Terrain.

Einer Achterbahn-Fahrt gleicht der Betrieb eines Indie-Studios - sagt Johannes Kristmann, Co-Grรผnder von @maschimensch.bsky.social in Berlin. 2025 erscheint das neue Spiel der Curious Expedition-Macher.

It's crazy how much effort we put into that. Also, all the content, including all #pixelart I did back then is available online. We decided after the successful launch of Curious Expedition 1 to put it all up as #CreativeCommons #PublicLicense github.com/Maschinen-Me...

Looking back at the modding wiki we did for Curious Expedition 1, it' actually a pretty sophisticated insight into how the game was made: curious-expedition.fandom.com/wiki/Modding...
