Ende 2022 habe ich ein kostenloses PDF-Magazin über winterliche Games veröffentlicht. Mein Fokus lag auf Indiegames & vergessenen Klassikern. Zudem sind einige Specials drin, bei denen auch @docower.bsky.social @lazerpunch.bsky.social mitgewirkt haben.

Captain Wayne (@ciaran-games.bsky.social) lehnt sich nicht einfach nur bei Kult-Shootern wie Doom & Duke Nukem an. Es ist so nah dran, dass man es mir auch als Remaster eines verschollen geglaubten Klassikers hätte verkaufen können, und ich hätte nie daran gezweifelt.

No Players Online - the full version of the viral abandoned online FPS horror game - is back on Steam. 🎉
The game was falsely removed weeks ago, just after launching, which has severely impacted the studio's survivability.
Please spread the word, and support it! ❤️
