Im currently playing @suckerpunchprod.bsky.social‘s #GhostOfYotei (and you should too, cauz it’s great!) and today I found a hilarious glitch in the German translation 🤣

„Living as a demon
Means making sacrifices
I shit alone“

I’m pretty sure that it should read „I die alone“ 😏

So it’s the 9th horror movie tonight on my streak to Halloween. And there have been some pretty good ones (Weapons is amazing! watch it now!) but …
Ffs those tropes of characters being stupid and always going into dark cellars / rooms / hallways at night and without proper light starts to annoy me 🙄

When @aceottorney.bsky.social first told me about this I said "this could change people's lives and stop developers from getting exploited" and having seen the final resource, I think I was not wrong. I'd call it a must-bookmark for indie devs.

Compared to how serious this CVE is, I was totally baffled on how silence my gamedev community was. Maybe I’m already too disconnected? Or everybody is just freaking out and patching the shit out of their games 🫠

Fuck the ai-bubble, fuck web3, fuck crypto scams …. Pieces like this is what the internet was born for.

It's official now. After more than 14 years today was my last day at @studiofizbin.bsky.social . I don't actually know what's gonna happen to the company i co-founded back then.

For now i'm gonna take a small rest to re-charge my batteries.

For those about to make some games, I salute you 🫡

Clones are huge problem for indie games since more than a decade.
But taking a movie, doing minor cuts and then releasing it as your own… that’s a whole different story 😱
If you understand German, you should check this documentary out:

It’s a lot of fun of either finding out how deep you’re into GW lore or finding out that makeup color names are pretty grim dark :)
Either way, I can totally approve that this was indeed an important contribution to humanity 🙂‍↕️
Thanks for that @cheerfulgoth.bsky.social 🙇

"3 devs with support from a few contractors"

I counted 110 people or companies in Silksong's credits.

And that's just those credited. We all know not everyone gets credited. Especially when it's just a company name listed in lieu of credits.

So tired of this faux rags-to-riches narrative.

Hahahhaha an anti fascistic Videogame taking the main stage.
I freaking love it!
Kudos to the whole @paintbucket.de crew 👊
Also @saftladen.bsky.social represent 🎉
What. @freejsf.paintbucket.de hogging the #gamescomONL spotlight as usual while niche titles like COD Black Ops 7 could have used a bit more exposure. Just great.

As we all know the game industry is going through very turbulent times, unfortunately this has also affected several members of our collective. The silver lining is that one of the largest rooms in our coworking space in Berlin will be available from September 1st.
