Seit Jahren arbeitet Soloentwickler Sebastian Buchwald an @First_Explorers, seiner modernen Neuinterpretation der klassischen #Siedler-Spiele. Das sieht inzwischen richtig gut aus und geht mit spannenden neuen Ideen über die Vorbilder hinaus. Das wird was! #Gamescom

Recently, I got interviewed by the magazine "Dein SPIEGEL", a spin-off of the "SPIEGEL" dedicated to a younger audience. That's my first appearance in a traditional magazine and I think TFE makes a good impression in it 😁
If you're living in Germany, make sure to stop by a Kiosk and try to find TFE!
