Soooo I just finished a β€œweek without screens for entertainment” challenge. My thoughts:

One year late to the party, but I finally finished Dragon Age: The Veilguard. 72 hours of fun, even though I have some conflicted feelings about how the game relates to the rest of the franchise. Thinking of writing a review.

I realised I needed to brush up my drawing skills if I wanted to create the art for my own game.

First try with #procreate did not disappoint. πŸ₯°

In the process of building a wishlist for my b-day. Which #indiegame should I definitely include?

Starting out in game dev can feel pretty lonely. @kevinhaelterman.bsky.social from @lugusstudios.bsky.social has the best remedy: a community exclusively for people involved in game dev.

You can check out my full interview with him here: youtu.be/EspvKNGbnIY

Right?! I have found myself taking a tonne of screenshots at the most random moments because the game is simply gorgeous.

Congrats to @voidmawgames.bsky.social with the release of @katanaut.bsky.social! I've played a bit and loving it so far. Amazing what a solo dev can achieve!

Border collie vs Game Boy. Turns out she’s a rage quitter.

It makes me wonder: how did @teamcherry.bsky.social manage to create so much hype for Silksong? I never played the original but I've heard good things. However, these numbers indicate that a vocal minority sort of hacked the games' marketing cycle.

What do you think?

I just noticed that #HollowKnight is experiencing its highest peak of concurrent players this month.

Hollow Knight ... not Silksong.

It makes sense that it's getting a resurgence: players want to know why so many people are hyped about the sequel. I'm one of them.

And yet.. 5X growth 🀯

Would you consider yourself a specialist or a generalist?

And what path leads to the most success in game development do you think?

It sounds weird: working on a deeply personal project with a team. How do you communicate your vision? Are you open for adjustments based on your team’s perspective?

I talked to Kimberly Hieftje about her process in building Year of the Cicadas

Year of the Cicadas

More about Year of the Cicadas on their website: www.yearofthecicadas.com β€” it’s a game about loss, grief and how to move forward without moving on.

It’s sad to see Activision Blizzard combat player creativity in this way instead of embrace it.
