Crazy feeling to see your game featured in a showcase (and only slightly nerve wrecking^^)😅 Overjoyed that Herdles is now finally officially announced - thanks @futuregamesshow.bsky.social for the amazing opportunity 🐶

Announcing Herdles, an open world adventure where you play as a dog… mine! ☀️ A vibrant open world with ethereal dungeons! 🌈 No combat, no death – just cozy fun! 🐶 Dedicated bark button! ❤️ Inspired by my dog Snoopy! As seen in the @futuregamesshow.bsky.social

Poly Fighter launches into Early Access tomorrow! A year and a half ago this was just an idea. Now we're about to put it into players' hands, and honestly, the support we've received leading up to launch has been overwhelming. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYkb... store.steampowered.com/app/3977340/...

Yet again, the Game UI Database is being scraped to the point that it's getting knocked offline. Even Cloudflare's "I'm under attack" mode isn't working. I just wanted to create a resource for real designers. I'm getting so fucking sick of this.

I primarily haven’t completely deleted fb yet because of some friends but every now and again the „years ago today“ feature is nice: completely forgot about this Venusaur I made in 2015 😅 Sculpt in Mudbox, render in Keyshot iirc Need to see if I still have the files, maybe I can make a 3D print 🤔

Back home from a week of exhibiting at gamescom - been a blast and then some! Sad that it’s over and already missing all my friends but at least now I can finally indulge in some Elden Ring on Switch 2 😅

What if barking was an actual game mechanic? 🤔 In Herdles, barking is how you interact with the world or send an unsuspecting sheep flying 👀 We’re letting people try it at #ga right now! If you were a dog, what’s the first thing you’d bark at? Find us @indiearenabooth.de

Remember when you could play as a dog in so many games in the 2000s? Anyway, chat, we're sooo back. The player controller in an early demo was already so good, can't wait to see the final product.

Somehow we've reached a point where only negativity is considered sincere. Sincerely being happy for people, or excited about things, or grateful for your industry peers - it's not accepted anymore. It's become entirely Us vs. Them, and your position shifts based on how much negativity you bring.

we're having our first snow of the season in Vienna so naturally we headed out for an extensive walk, after which Snoopy chose to warm up with a nap on my lap ❄️🐺 10/10 can recommend (apart from my leg slowly dying from holding him up 😅)

it was an honour and a pleasure to talk about how shit Microsoft's Quake II Muse demo is for GadgetGuy's latest article (@gadgetguyau.bsky.social). thanks to Chris (@bibbybhoy.bsky.social) for asking me to contribute & for putting together this article that challenges the diminishment of humanity 🙏

Microsoft’s much maligned Quake II AI demo has raised concerns about the future of game development. So, I spoke with those whose livelihoods are on the line and asked whether generative AI could actually help make a game. www.gadgetguy.com.au/game-develop...

Now that Astrobot won GOTY can we please end the "No 3D platformers" thing publishers have going on as a blanket rule at the moment? It's the "blanket rule" thing that bothers me. Publishing sounds like a AAA boardroom when they collectively have rules like that.

Just watched „The Remarkable Life of Ibelin“ on Netflix - what a truly incredible testament to how games are able to just tear through barriers and can touch the hearts of any and every one! Get tissues ready before watching tho, it’s an intense emotional rollercoaster ❤️🥹

I recently noticed that there is a queer museum somewhat near so I attended a tour there on the weekend with some friends - to the surprise of absolutely no one it's run by the nicest people and I wholeheartedly recommend checking out their current exhibition! :)
