Painted a masters study yesterday - The reference was Eugene Boudin! I saw one of his paintings in Leipzig this year and really wanted to try to recreate it.

Painted some waves that I captured with @danieldyrda.bsky.social during last year's reboot develop blue. It sucks that we can't go this year. Is anyone planning to go to the Monte games conference?

Our OKU team recently won an award for the games outstanding visuals! I still remember the intense discussion that ultimately lead us to go for this art style. But in the end that is what counts: Creating something new and authentic!

Did some painting yesterday 😌👌

It still is a truly magic activity to me. The way painting just switches you to a completely different state is quite astonishing.

A video on gyms, zoos and museums! A must-watch by @rystorm.com for any indie out there. Goes into why you should choose different ways of documentation sometimes, learned a lot myself!

I accidentally grew some millet on my balcony. 🤭 I now harvested it and am putting it in the freezer for the birds in the winter ❄️🐦‍⬛

Also got some winter salad seeds from my mom. Excited to see if I will manage to grow them! 🌿

(Just felt like sharing sth cozy in turbulent times)

OKU just gathered 100.000 wishlists!

🙏We are deeply honored for the trust of so many people!🙏
A few months ago no one here would have ever dreamed of the game doing so well. May our young monk keep traveling far to spread the joy of poetry.

Thank you for the amazing support!

Valve’s ‘make the rich richer’ policy is so fucking infuriating. if 97% of devs on steam account for ‘only’ 15% of revenue as this article states, surely creating goodwill among that “majority” would be a smart move, at least?! wake up, valve. ffs.
Valve's 30% Platform Tax is Bad for Small Developers
It's time to follow Epic's lead by offering 0% fees on each dev's first $1 million.

I got to contribute to this wonderfully bold and colorful experience. If you are looking for something extraordinary, give it a try!

Just watched Inside out 2 yesterday.🎥

Kinda want to make a narrative adventure now where instead of choosing an answer directly, you choose an emotion. That emotion (e.g. anxiety) then defines your answer / action.

Just as an exercise to notice which emotion is useful in each situation.

More cute bird paintings. 🕊️

(I swear I will post about game design soon - once our projects are out of their baby phase)

I honestly don't know how I never thought about this. Content creators on any other platform are heavily built around those community/creator relationships. Why not steam 🤔
I will keep saying it @valvesoftware.com improving the developer follower system into something that allows devs to establish a usable following across games and rewards support and community is 100% the solution to the discoveryability problem.

Painted this surprised fellow today. Let's hope he still sticks that landing.

⚠️My discord got hacked ⚠️

I got a request from an old acquaintance who asked me to review their game. And I ran a malicious executable 😞

Please ignore any discord messages you get from me in the near future. And be careful with what you run on your PC. I feel so stupid, let's hope support helps.

Been thinking about the link between art and activism. Both seem to reflect on the current state of the world and push for change. Both, the artist and the activist, see the world not as static, but as something we can actively shape.

Are there any good games about political activists out there?
