With the wunderful help of @DB_Bahn Verspätungen (approx. 2.5 hours, maybe more) I could conveniently finish my presentation for the @DLAMarbach Games & Literatur conference: Save the Trees! 1/2

Once a flamingo said: the world would be balanced when we all together stand one one leg for a moment. Thanks to all who shared the festival experience w/ me. It has been the best week since a long time. Hope to see you back at @AMazeFest on May 8-11, 2024 #AMaze2023

These exhibits showing the dev chronology of a released game and letting you playtest their prototypes are so good for grasping what it can take to reach the finish line. This one about #LonelyMountainsDownhill was very cool (and v frustrating if you suck at the game 💀)
Wow, 4 days at @AMazeFest went by so fast! We're so glad to have shared our project with you all and we're extremely grateful to @megagon_inds for collaborating with us this edition. Thank you all for coming and we look forward to seeing you again soon! 👾🌱

Devolution of @LonelyMnts with @DannyHellfish - super-sweet behind-the-peek at the history and development of the game. Highly recommended if you're at #AMaze2023 @AMazeFest.

Wildfrost's evolution over the years...❄️✨ The game changed a lot across development, but the counter mechanic stayed the same from the very beginning, and ended up shaping the core of the whole game!

I'm just so unbelievably happy to see this happening! Was once involved in setting up @devolutionbln and now its doing things on her own. This must be parenting. Or gardeing? Whatever: Check out the #amaze2022 space and play some old versions of @LonelyMnts! 🌱🌱🌱
Visit the Devolution Exhibition to get your eyes on some old builds of Lonely Mountain: Downhill. They are playable exclusively at the @AMazeFest #AMAZESPACE and this is your only chance! @LonelyMnts @megagon_inds #amaze2022

Very true... for all video games imo. Way harder and also more important to figure out how to get players excited about a game than how to "balance" a game, even though the latter sounds more designer-y. Balancing a game too early is like painting with small brushes too early.
Game Design Tip 9 - Character based games (mobas, class shooters, fighters) don’t get popular because they are balanced. They get popular because they are fun. Don’t put the wagon before the horse and focus on balance too early.

The last streak for sure inspired by Cubed and Ernő Rubiks indepth description of the process of finding the cube and the experience solving it for the first time, ever. 2/2

found one of the first Getting Over It prototypes lying around, showing the basic physics rig implementation. Very grateful to friends who convinced me to abandon this art style

"Like the garden with the plan The plan grows with the garden." Finally managed to quote Brecht in a game related text: "Planting games: The natural beauty of digital games". Originally published in the @WASDMagazin, now the English translation online: medium.com/@csongorb/plantin…
So, "Spiele pflanzen: Die natürliche Schönheit digitaler Spiele" nun nicht nur schöner im @WASDMagazin, sondern auch online: medium.com/@csongorb/spiele-…
