Sword in a clearing of a forest. The sword is kept halfway inside a stone altar.

"Why isn't there any musketeer video game?" 🤺
In 2017, as a game design student, I pitched a game inspired by The Three Musketeers. This game turned into En Garde!, which we released in 2023 ✨
Despite that, I'm still asking that same question to this day. Thread 🧵

Was watching the Southpark #wrestling episode on weekend again and now with Brock Lesnar coming back to #WWE, I'm not sure which series is the parody.

We have a new trailer!

Good job #PlasticSCM #Unity3d

Holy.... I wasn't aware and my coder heart cries in vain 💔

I always thought this is some kind of "magic number" in the HP universe and I was fine with it.

Learning that it is from the muggle world and a real thing makes it less magic and even more confusing 😅

I wouldn't focus too much on a single event/festival. If it's constantly going down, you could be worried.

Also I feel that there's a bit of steam event fatigue over the summer time, having a next fest and several other festivals just recently.

It will be up and down. Don't be demotivated!

Yo #GameDev, don't you dare burn out on me, ok! It's cool doing what you're doing; NOT if it comes at the expense of YOU or those around you tho. 😤

Trust me. Been there, done that, worn the whole darn outfit. Know the limits of your own mental and physical real-estate. 😌

I grew up on these streets

"The artistic freedom of game developers is fundamental to games as a cultural medium. Any restrictions imposed by payment service providers or gaming platforms must not exceed the legal limits. In Germany, thanks in part to the USK, clear, binding, and established rules apply that must be adhered to. Furthermore, creative forms of expression or certain themes in games, such as diversity, must not be targeted by individual interests or campaigns from particularly vocal groups, as is currently being observed on Steam or itch.io. The terms and conditions of global payment service providers such as Visa, Mastercard, or PayPal must not conflict with European values such as freedom of expression or artistic freedom. We therefore call on the companies involved to design their rules and offerings in a manner that ensures compliance with applicable laws and prevents overblocking.' Felix Falk Managing Director of game

I've pinned the #itchio update about NSFW projects to the "Indie Devs & Games" feed.

I feel that this is a topic many #IndieDev #GameDev need to know about, so pls stay with me.

Once this is broadly known, I'll pin again event notifications and useful resources.

We've posted an addendum FAQ to our original blog post about NSFW content. You can read it here: itch.io/updates/upda...

Thank you for your patience as we navigate through this. We're upset too. We're doing what we can but there are still many unknowns at this point.

A Steam post on Becoming Saint discussions about "Clarification about leveling up and ranged units"

Becoming Saint is on Steam, and we got a lot of very nice feedback and questions about gameplay details: I collected some FAQs and will answer them in this thread 😇
