This week's #TurnBasedThursday host is a husband & wife team creating fun, strategic games w/ vast worlds to uncover, cool combos to try, and tons of delightful easter eggs. What surprises does your game have in store for us? Follow @unleashthegiraffe.bsky.social and show 'em in tomorrow's thread!

The waterfall model (prototyping → pre-production → production → release → etc) is so incredibly incompatible with the reality of game development. Yet it’s taught at schools, used in pitch decks and game biz, used by producers for todos, planning, roadmaps, etc. Kill it with fire. 🧵 #gamedev

I had a blast! For non German speakers: I was interviewed at the #GamesZone event in Dortmund, and showed off the current version of Antisuns on the side. In-person visitors were also able to get their hands on the game. I will create some English subtitles for the video and post it later.

Marco patiently explaining how to survive the Frigate level of the current Antisuns demo. Come by our booth and grab one of the comic book page flyer! #comicconstuttgart

Post a ship that's not Star Wars or Star Trek.

New Year, new Koibra from our dnd campaign. Creature design by Rinzuchi and Reese Keefe Nightshade dulled the colors on this one somewhat, alas. Description in thread under this post

🚨NEW ART ALERT!🚨 “The Plug” by the supremely talented Reese Keefe! We’re so happy with how Reese brought this character to life! There are so many fun little Easter eggs hidden in this art! Let us know your favorite in the comments! #tcg #cyberpunk #cyberpunkart #artistsofinstagram #cyberpunk2077

We're technically me ( @nczempin.bsky.social and @jaycyrzak.bsky.social ). We do have a lot of help, though, from some great people ♥️! I should totally create a starter pack for "Indie devs comprised of two family members" 😉 If we round down the total DNA, we are basically one person 😂

We're not quite solo devs, depending on the definition (I mean, even Chris Sawyer didn't do _everything_ 😉). But we are very close, and support all our current and future solo devs 👍

Thanks for hosting #TurnBasedThursday! I'm still trying to find a way to put trains in Antisuns. It is a well-known fact that trains make every game better. 💯😉 Spaceships are basically trains, right? We do have "training", take a look: store.steampowered.com/app/2963210/...
