Hello lovely people! Inspired by @CrashOberbreit's🧵 and because it’s one of these weeks with a lot of talks about how allegedly “bad” the German games industry is, please enjoy this list of 100+ totally awesome PC games made in the DACH area. docs.google.com/spreadsheets…

our last flagship game art of rally was released in 2020. ever since I've wanted to make a new 3D driving game... 6 years years later, with 1.5M wishlists and after a difficult journey, it releases tomorrow, Oct 14th on steam. thanks for your patience and we hope you like it🤗

We were robbed at Gamescom. On Wednesday, we arrived at our booth in the Indie Area to find our cabinet forced open. Two laptops and a Steam Deck were gone. The devices contained not only our Gamescom demo, but also personal, company, and critical information. Here’s our story

Is this the final boss?
i made a game where you literally have to find a missing semicolon in a codebase of 187,421 lines the catch is the entire codebase is printed out and taped to the walls of an office and you have to inspect it line by line Play it here: semicolon.trm.sh/

This is how the DB portal should actually work
DB hard-blocked DelayBahn at 1:35 PM today. 100,000+ people used DelayBahn in the last 7 days, and I guess we finally got noticed 😅 I pushed a workaround and we’re back online, but this will likely happen again. If you know someone at DB who could help us find a sustainable solution, please DM me. Would love to work with DB, not around them 🚆❤️

Does anyone happen to have any leads on any Java Software Engineering roles? 🙏 My partner lost his job, and has fallen into a very dark mental health spiral. It's a very, very bleak and tough time at home right now. Getting him back to work could literally be a lifesaver.

IT'S LIVE. My Kickstarter just launched🥹 I moved to Spain, quit my software engineering career, taught myself pixel art from zero, and spent 10 months building a cozy game. Every single pixel is hand-drawn by me. Today I find out if it was worth it. #kickstarter #indiegames

I quit my corporate job two years ago to make games, and I’ve just released my first game! It's a Windows 95 themed automation game where you make PowerPoint factories. Check out Factory 95 on Steam. #gamedev #indiegame

I’ve been working on the sand erosion physics for my sand castle building game. Still needs some tuning, but it’s starting to behave the way I want. Wishlist Sandcastle ➡️ s.team/a/3216520

I don't shout about it enough but I released a book this year - and most people seem to like it? IKR? Baffling. Anyways this'll be my only bump to say, if you or someone you know might enjoy reading about how 50 awesome indie games were made, it's the *perfect* Xmas gift! 🎄
Well, this is it. After two-and-a-half years of work, conducting interviews, playing so many games, and then writing it all up into something legible. 50 Indie Games That Changed the World by me and @bitmap_books is out NOW! Order your copy here: bitmapbooks.com/collections/…
