Made a complete overhaul of a game Bernd Eisenstein and I got stuck on ten-ish years ago. Playtested last week with him and now were on it again. Sometimes revisting former ideas is fun.

Ich denke da nur auch an die Wargame and Videopiel Vernetzung mit der Rรผstungsindustrie (siehr people make games). Das lรคsst sich nur bedingt von den Streitkrรคften trennen.

So weit ich das alles verstehen kann, halte ich eine kritische Distanz fรผr angemessen.

Ich weiss nicht. " Unsere Streitkrรคfte hinken srrategisch hinterher, daher mรผssen wir die Wargamerkultur in Deutschland hinterher" klingt als solkte man vorsichtig sein, fรผr was man sich vereinbahmen lรคsst.

Most are credited with Wanjin Gill, there are some other artists as well. One is Atelier198, which is Klemens Franz. One is Kotoriworks which is Kinya Uchida. Which of those artists you thing are using AI artworks?

Doesnt mean they are new. Plastic wraps were invented in the 1930s

Nun bin ich aus Grรผnden und Glรผck quasi wieder zurรผck und freue mich ein paar Spiele ankรผndigen zu kรถnnen. Sowas macht SpaรŸ und glรผcklich und ich hoffe die Rezipienten dieses Blogs haben auch etwas davon.

North American Railways by @peersylvester.bsky.social

I like the description of "profound strategic depth" as I have little info on this game, but I've played enough of Mr. Sylvester's work to know that such a statement is accurate! Really stoked for this.

HELLOOOOOO NERDS!
It is Playte's tenth year in business and they are going to be publishing some wild stuff all year long, so let's not hesitate, and follow this thread for all the upcoming titles in the first wave of Playte games for 2026!

Oh yes. I am working on a game about WW1 and writing the rules (and In game stuff) Im surprised on how many ways you can spell Sergeant wrong, without at least accidently write the right way?

Let's talk about Tiberpunk and how it got made. A thread ๐Ÿงต

Yes, argubly that is what makes a lot of Korean shows for me so strong: They make you care about its characters. Thats good acting but also good dialogue and realistic interactions, despite sometimes lesser plots.
Firefly had weak plots, but seeing how the cast interacted was great.

Ignore the boxes and focus on the dice in front of her, especially the one in front of her hand and the grey one slightly to the right.

I heard the theory that the nodding will mean its a Bobbin head series

BTW: To go full conspiracy - in the same video he said that he had the idea of starting the new season after time has passed with Mel seeking out his former friends, knocking on their doors and claiming "Its time"....

OTOH: In the interview with Tudyk (around the time he did the Convention Man - thing) where he said, he would play Washs, twin brother, he also said, that he would start the new season with Mel knocking at doors of the other crew members and telling them "Its time".

So this COULD be a deep cut

Addendum: Mind you: There was no announcement yet. I find it at least as likely that they are teasoning a documentry about Firefly as a new season (for the reasons stated in the thread).
