To make things easier for people moving here from #dkgame twitter, I've made this handy starter pack. It's by no means complete, so please let me know of anyone else that should be included from the Danish gamedev space: go.bsky.app/4xD9wEy

arkaden.dkNy bog hylder den danske spilarv og bringer kulturen helt ind i stuen | ArkadenArkaden var med, da tæppet blev løftet for 50 Danske Spil Du Skal Spille Før Du Dør. En ny bog, der beviser, at dansk spiludvikling ikke bare er underholdning – det er en stolt del af vores fælles kul...

I andre #dkgame nyheder har @juliadebel.bsky.social og @danielmogelhoj.bsky.social skrevet en ny bog med 50 danske computerspil, som skal spilles for at være et kulturelt velafrundet menneske. Jeg har selv hjulpet en smule med indledende kuratering.

Bogen udkommer på fredag d. 30. oktober, og har reception til Bogforum i Bella Center, hvor man øjensynligt også kan købe noget merch fra @vati.bsky.social - hvilket jeg mistænker kunne være den #dkgame plakat som hun og jeg har lavet sammen.

In today's #dkgame news, Northgard Battlegrounds just released in Early Access. Congrats to everyone at Funday who have been hard at work on it!

Allan Christophersen@duffadash.bsky.social

This year Funday Games have a total of THREE game demos out for this Next Fest. My god, how do they find the time? Here's Northgard Battlegrounds, another autobattler, but as a viking strategy game. #SteamNextFest

store.steampowered.comSTARCULT Night Twisted Age on SteamSurvive the investigation! Kill all your enemies! Manipulate! Create or join a Cult.  Enjoy power and peaceful moments... as a Villainess Artist with your palette, until bigger problems arise.

Oh look, it's another Steam Next Fest and another rundown of all the #dkgame demos that you could be playing! And let's start out with something in the spirit of the season, it's STARCULT: Night Twisted Age - an occult gothic take on the Villainess genre by @notacatstudios.bsky.social #SteamNextFest

Not A Cat Studios (Dev of 'STARCULT')@notacatstudios.bsky.social

STARCULT Night Twisted Age is joining Steam Next Fest I'm looking forward to seeing you play the demo and giving feedback on our Extended Demo ^^

store.steampowered.comGreed Forest TD on SteamBuild huge mazes, combine towers for wild synergies, discover ridiculous spells and upgrades, and turn your Buildy into a baddie.

Greed Forest by Martin Grysbæk FINALLY has a release date. I've been staring at this solo-developed tower defense game in my upcoming games list for two years now, so I'm so hyped that it's finally coming out. Have a look! #SteamNextFest

store.steampowered.comRealmWalker on SteamMaster elemental magic in this third-person action roguelite. Choose your spells, discover powerful cross-element synergies, and create unique builds. Enhance your power through passive Auras and risk...

And finally - RealmWalker: An elemental-magic based action roguelike by Thauma Creations. Wow, that makes FOURTEEN unique new #dkgame demos for this #SteamNextFest. I hope everyone finds something that they like and share their experiences. Also I'm sorry if I somehow managed to miss your game.

Another #dkgame puzzler with a demo out for Next Fest is Elsewhere by eMbAh. Now, I suspect Elsewhere is not a title that is going to make the game easy to find in search results, so do the developer a favor and try it out now so it has a chance at visibility. #SteamNextFest

store.steampowered.comStarshapes on SteamA calm and highly satisfying puzzle game about connecting shapes to create 3D star constellations.

Another chill little puzzler is Starshapes by @entiregames.bsky.social, in which you connect stars into constellations in 3D space. #SteamNextFest

Sparrow Warfare by @neonaurelius.bsky.social probably doesn't need my help getting the word out at this point, but it *is* an excellent tile-based deckbuilder with cute bird motifs that just recently got the NorthernLion seal of approval. #SteamNextFest

Trying a new tack with this: did you or anyone you know publish a zine at all related to games or gaming culture in the early to mid 2010s? "Zine" can be interpreted broadly as any self-published low budget publication.

It's so fucking funny that book nerds are all: "We love the Dewey Decimal System! Big shoutouts to my boy Dewey!" Meanwhile all librarians are like "Dewey was a huge piece of shit, and we want nothing to do with the fucker. The DDS is racist and severely needs to be reformed or replaced completely."
