Siri, wat is wettelijke zelfverdediging?

Dear devs, today is the LAST day you can apply to be a part of Indie Arena Booth (for real this time)! 👀🕹️ If you haven't submitted your application, please do so ASAP ✨ 👉 indiearenabooth.de/apply

“Mwoaah seg é, wat is dat zo precies zo, het niermahaals?” Een hele generatie verliest vandaag collectief een stukje kindsheid. Rust zacht, Danny.

The bestest thing about Blue Prince are those moments when you’re fiddling with some of its design machinery and you’re thinking to yourself “no, they couldn’t possibly have thought of that” AND THEN OF COURSE THEY DID! What a game.

✨SURPRISE✨ In a totally unpredictable plot twist (that definitely doesn’t happen every single year ), we’re EXTENDING submissions by one more week! That means you now have until 16 April to apply: 👉 indiearenabooth.de/apply

It's a beautiful day to build a snowman with your cute dog! Let's get this wonderful game from Positive to Very Positive by the start of the weekend - shall we? store.steampowered.com/app/1626620/...

I see that Botany Manor is leaving Game Pass in about 2 weeks time. Please give it a shot. It may just surprise & delight you as much as it did me.

I moved from 13 years of C# in Unity to GDScript in Godot about 1,5 years ago and the change in programming language in particular wasn’t a very big deal. here’s a thread on my experience as a professional multiplatform game dev. 🧵 #gamedev #unity #godot

4. Wednesdays (2025) ⭐️ RECOMMENDED Probably the most important game you’ll play this year. A breathtaking interactive exploration of domestic child abuse that’s both respectful, nuanced and even optimistic. Herculean effort by Pierre Corbinais, @thepixelhunt.bsky.social @exaheva.bsky.social

It's finally happening! Koira is officially released!!

For those who've been around the block, you know this stuff happens more often than not. So, 1) Never start/join a licensed project without the license SIGNED. 2) Don't waste time on project that'll "get" the license. That's not how the real world works.

Dit jaar krijgen vijf VAF-gesteunde studio's de mogelijkheid om het beste van zichzelf te geven op de @indiearenabooth.de op gamescom. Op deze stand krijgen kleinere gameprojecten de kans om hun project aan de grote massa te laten zien 🌟🌍 Stel je ten laatste 9 april kandidaat 👇 t.ly/cJj69

Zelda Williams (the daughter of the great Robin Williams) sure had a lot to say about the “Studio Ghibli style” AI images that have been trending recently. I think those people should read these posts and really think about what they’re doing.

I love talking to game devs about how we can help them! Happy to see a lot of new faces in the audience. Thanks for your enthusiasm and your curiosity.

The saddest part about Groupchatgate? After all of Zuckerbergs spineless groveling, the Trump top brass is using *checks notes* SIGNAL to seal the fate of the world.

Srebrenica. “Amper” 8000 doden. Anno 2022 naar schatting 1,7 miljoen Bosnische moslims. Genocide is geen rekensommetje.

Big Yikes (part 4829)

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes (2024)

As someone who did his fair share of pc game reviews in the mid 00s, I can't tell you how many times I wrote CRASHES FREQUENTLY as a negative in the quick summary. PC code could be a technical disaster back then. Not running at 60+ fps on your fancy Nvidia? How about not running *at all*?
