Today is the release day of my demo.
It's also the day of a major power outage in the south-east of Berlin - where I live and work.
I'll do it anyway. Wish me luck 😊

Probably still two or three weeks until the actual release to polish and fix things, but it's coming soon!
I'm pretty nervous and excited already, can't wait to hear what people think 😊
(Gamescom was really nice and affirming in that regard)

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.

Just noticed that the wishlist comparison descriptors for the three thingies I got on Steam are beautifully colorful 🎨
Can you guess which one is which? 😊
(options are my upcoming game The Greenening, my first game Recollection and the Recollection soundtrack)

Added a new gameplay mechanic to The Greenening this week:
Water clusters!
They can be charged and explode when full, clearing a big area. They can also be chained together, which is quite fun 😊
(new colorful bushes in there too)
