Hello world.
I am a Senior Game Designer who misses the exchange between game devs we had back when Twitter was still cool.
I will post random stuff about games and my progress on random prototypes I am working on, that will probably never see the light of day.
Looking forward to this! ❤️
Called it. 🎉
I have been following Oblivion remaster rumors for years and this is the first time I actually believe them.

They are doing such an amazing service for the German #gamesindustry as they give everybody an amazing negotiation lever.
At the same time this is really good #marketing for them as their salaries tend to be higher than at other german games companies.

I finally played Thomas Was Alone. Took me just a bit over a decade, but I finally caught up.

Damn what a masterpiece in #narrativedesign. The levels were absolutely awesome as well, but the #writing is simply an amazing case study.

I just finished Minami Lane and it is the perfect game to take a short break from the world falling apart around us.

Minami Lane is a short and cute "city builder" in which you build up small street and try to fulfil its residents needs. Really cute, fantastic art style and really well executed.

I have nothing but utmost admiration for the restraint Zelenskyy showed during whatever the hell that was.

I am incredibly sorry for everyone of WB affected by the layoffs. I cannot stop thinking about how this will affect the industry long-term. We are losing some great talent indefinitely as some people will switch to different industries.

What are some good resources to learn more about script structures for Unity?

I feel like over time my projects always become a bit messy because of how much every script has to call methods or get components from other scripts.

I recently played through Nodebuster and I can wholeheartedly recommend it!
Great progression, fantastic soundtrack, fun visuals.
It is the embodiment of juice.

Really shows you how much you can polish a simple mechanic.

What do you think about this movement tutorial?
Also how minimalistic can a game be?

Is anybody else having to re-figure out how Lerps work every other month or is it just me? 👀
