Random level design inspiration from our day 1 in Berlin:

Let greenery on a background building (or ground or alike) subtly show/give hints to the way through or to optional treasure in an upcoming labyrinth-part of the game.

Vacation in Denmark. Which equals finally finding my long-lost jetpack and upping my crafting skills to include Obsidian Arrowheads 🚀🏹

You keep your AI-generated snippets and soulless stills.

And I’ll cherish my 5yo’s pure nightmare fuel.

I mean, look at that. Those ribs. Those veins. That wrinkled… skin?

Was reminded (thanks FB) that it was more than 10 some years ago that I worked on and wrote the #KUNGFURY game we released with the first movie. Hilarious and stupid, had a great time.

Really hope they get to release that finished movie soon

Here’s a tip for all the anxious parents out there who haven’t had a lowkey heart-attack in a while:

Let your 6yo kid loose on a tree-top-climb-course.

Nothing to worry about.
Everything is perfectly safe.
Don’t mind the birds.

Stormteller Games on Lost in Random: The Eternal Die

After playing Lost in Random: The Eternal Die obsessively, I asked Stormteller Games about their fast-paced roguelike so let's roll to it.

After game-release, there is vacation. In a secluded, former chapel. Called Ebenezer. With painted glass. A moss-clad cranium. And dolls. God damn dolls…
