I made the Qbeh-1 soundtrack entirely out of sounds I found/recorded/sampled myself because for better or worse, it would be a soundtrack only I could have made I do use VST's/synths/whatevz now but I still try to work that way as much as possible - everything as custom/personal as possible
there are a lot of freaks in gamedev, who when given an industry standard method will go "no thanks" and start climbing a mountain coding their own engine, sculpting it in clay, implementing ik from scratch, embroidering sprites, etc. there's value in these journeys and games are better for them

Happy four year anniversary to our beloved Queer Man Peering. A game that completely changed the trajectory of our lives. 😘😘 It was such a difficult development, but after four years of working on Janet I’m starting to think that maybe that’s an ‘us thing’. store.steampowered.com/app/1711420/...

My biggest pet peeve is that there's a ton of scam websites that are "Free QR Code Generator"s then the QR code stops working after a few days and then redirects you to ask you to PAY to re-activate it. I made a page on website for making ACTUALLY FREE QR Codes. Enjoy. konig.games/QRCodes/ #QRCodes

Very happy to announce I'll be working with Angus and Mei on this awesome project! You might know Angus and Mei from their work on Unpacking, I know them from teaching me the Tim Tam Slam and being excellent human beings (and Unpacking) We're gonna make something amazing together ✨
I'm happy to announce that I'm working on a prototype for 'The Ropeway' with funding from Screen Queensland! My wonderful wife Mei-Li is producing and the excellent Launchable Socks will be working on sound design and music. Below is a quick demonstration of the pulley and constraint mechanic.

Mandy Han, head of maintenance 🔧, has a gruff exterior. But inside her office? Something of a softer side... I wonder what cozy game she's been playing? 📦 @witchbeam.com.au @unpackinggame.com ❤️

This photoshoot we did with Apple a couple of years ago was a delightful experience. Unpacking’s accessibility and representation are two topics very close to my heart and I appreciate Apple giving me a chance to centre them in this piece.
Unpacking is featured on the App Store today, and it means you can read this lovely piece they’ve written about design and making of the game 📦💜
