#ENDSTATION of course but I agree Wanderburg is pretty cool and definitely better than the movie so far haha

ENDSTATION on Steam A classic dice game played in a somewhat grungy subway train late at night - how many trips can you afford, how many dice can you collect?

I just released the demo for my dice gamble game ENDSTATION!!

If you have the time and are into dice and gambling this might just be for you :)

Where do you draw the line? Do you have examples for any recent "throwaway games"?
Interesting read - especially with the recent development towards smaller games.
What are your thoughts on even smaller "micro games"?

I sincerely invite you to come and say hi and play our game #potatopunk at the #devcom expo area :D
It runs well, is fun, exciting and extra smooth on the big screen!
@biasinteractive.bsky.social

There are also like a ton of other nice games on display here around us that are worth a play, too!

Sooooo after a "one-in-20-years" power outage in my area yesterday back to modelling loops for the #GMTKjam again!! My brother and I are working on a reverse Indiana Jones adventure - you need to return the "Loop of Life" back to its ancient resting place. Lets see how that turns out ^^

I rarely use Unity - I love this output Log thing in the bottom tho. It randomly gives crazy cool loading screen tips.

I mean of course. Who thought they could just pass in objects there are already persistent? Pathetic.

I am doing 3D art here and do not know what that evens means.

I always miss #screenshotsaturday so this one is now my official first late screenshot
#gamejam game with my mates at RaucherPauseGames.
Hand placed collisions - I don't know, there might be a faster way but I enjoy the silence of placing boxes.

Will be available on @itch.io later today #indie

Most people who buy your game won’t play it – How To Market A Game

I have a pretty good idea of my Warhammer pile of shame. I am about to evaluate my Steam tsundoku pile now as well.

My impression, prior count - about 80% of games that I own I also played.

@tobsprgames.bsky.social Oh no. Oh no .. I had it in my calendar and forgot about it. Oh goodbye cruel world - the shapez updated just dropped.
Ciao. I am gone now. For some time.

What a timing - we have a public playable for the #dayofthepotato!

There were so many ideas and some of them made it into systems and features for you to try! Looking forward to new problems to solve next week haha

Jamming in room 404 was always part of my favourite game dev activities.
It doesn't have a name yet but a lot of cool art haha. Developed a fancy style for this one ^^

Ready to play next week around Sunday for the #tgccoreblazerjam

πŸ“£ The rush to add AI into everything is a big threat to privacy, as we've been saying.

MS Recall's screenshotting everything is a (not) great example of exactly why.

Dark Ages first impressions: I like Eternal more - until chapter five. I still miss my Castle Doom tho.

Very interesting how the core design has changed and somehow made it back to the original.

Why Architecture Matters for Level Design Architect Paul Goldberger’s book, Why Architecture Matters (from which this article takes its title), proclaims that β€œwe could not live…

Great small read with some pointers to nice further bigger reads on architecture :)

Watching a lot of @stevelee.bsky.social level design videos on YouTube has really reignited my passion for these things
