Mara 🏳️‍⚧️ | Halls of Torment

First look at what's coming next for #HallsOfTorment — free update + new DLC "The Archives". 👀 store.steampowered.com/news/app/221...

Do people actually use Miro boards and any similar tools actively in production for games that get shipped or is this one of the tools that university students get taught and everyone likes the idea of but dies down during a project just like scrum?

We are getting outreaches of people that would like to meet us at the GDC and no one from our team will be there </3 Aside of that I wouldn't feel exactly save traveling to the USA right now...

On the first day of the #HallsOfTorment OST release we sold it exactly 666 times 🫶

I played Civilization quite a bit in the past and was looking forward to 7. One point is that there is a lot critic about the UI. But like neither on the official store nor in a 25 minutes "Gameplay Trailer" you see the UI once. I hate it when companies do this.

Consuming news makes me realize that I'd should start transitioning away from products of US/Big companies and try to use more EU/Open Source alternatives. Even if it comes with inconveniences.

Just finished to enter #HallsOfTorment for a German small game award and it was the most painful award entry I ever had to make, almost like they don't want games to enter x_x

I accidently times the Experimental Update of the next HoT update with the Jotunnslayer release, people should take a look - meet them at Gamescom last year and the game was fun, wanna play it myself the next day. We have a bundle with them! store.steampowered.com/bundle/49588...

We hope you started well into the new year! The next update is ready on the Experimental branch and we are awaiting your feedback 🙂 Announcement: store.steampowered.com/news/app/221... Change Log: steamcommunity.com/app/2218750/...

we did it! 🥳

STEAM DECK STARS! We've put up a new Steam Bundle for all the Handheld Heroes! store.steampowered.com/bundle/48219... All of the games are Steam Deck Verified for your enjoyment during a quick break, while traveling, between events, or when you’re in need of some quality alone time. STAY FRESH! 🥕

I'm very happy to report that Godot just merged the integration of Jolt Physics, as an experimental alternative to Godot's own 3D physics engine. github.com/godotengine/... #GodotEngine

While prototyping and seeing what carrot is next to be eaten, we continue adding to #HallsOfTorment. Here a small preview for early next year: store.steampowered.com/news/app/221...

A linoprint of hextech jesus I've been working on! Had a lot of fun with it! #arcane #viktor

On the opposite is Nintendo. So we basically have a Dad waiting machine while the kiddos are busy playing mario party :3

Hey Folks, this weekend we are at the Vienna Comic Con, if you're around come and say hi! Play the latest version and discover also some other interesting games :) Look out for @aayph.bsky.social 🤘

I'll be on the Vienna Comic Con this weekend, Halls of Torment will be there as well. It's my first Comic Con, I don't know what to expect :'D Lets see if I can connect with some game devs there :3

It's hilariously easy and quick to add the rating, Valve sent mails weeks and months ago. I boggles my mind that so many devs / publishers are not caring. Germany is 7.2% of our revenue and it literally takes 5-10 minutes per game. There is even a quick link on the dash board.

Four games I've worked on:

𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴... Hi everyone! We're 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗸𝘀, the project management tool created for and by game developers. 🎮 Why we're different: 🃏 Design & UI inspired by trading card games 🏃 Intuitive and proven workflow model ✉️ Real-time no-loose-ends collab 🤖 Built-in DISCORD community Nice to meet you!

Whether you just arrived here, or are looking for #gamedev to follow, here is a good pack of French folks. go.bsky.app/9PFHfaG

New Starter Pack brewing, exclusively for #gamedev that support #Linux directly. I've added a good few to start, but boosts and suggestions appreciated. If you're a dev replying, be sure to link your game(s). go.bsky.app/FEMywoR

whoops, not looking into social media for a few days and suddenly 500 new followers - Hallo! 😂 Glad to see Bluesky establishes as our new platform <3 - But now I feel I should post more dev content, and I should probably do an introduction post when I find time.

On something positive and related to my work and #HallsOfTorment - Paul is sharing some UI Skins with me and I'm really in love with the wooden one.

I thought this week would be great, being in Stuttgart again, getting my paperwork done for Name/Gender change officially done. But doing so an hour after the disastrous results for people I can relate well to was bringing my mood a bit down. Hug to everyone who needs it. Stay safe <3

Always 💖 Don't make me tap the sign

Just updated #GoodCompany on Epic to 1.1! 🥳 Multiplayer between Steam, GOG and Epic should work again and the version on Epic does now also offer mod support.

We could finally adjust the price to the post-release price we intended :')

I reached 1000 games on my wishlist today. I'll never catch up with all the games I want to play. It also visualizes there must be tons of players who'd like to play my/our games but don't because of their time. We live in a world where we have less and less time for every creative work we consume.

@gameengines.bsky.social It would be nice to get the Godot label for myself and the company account @chasingcarrots.bsky.social Thank you! :)

Games that DLCs are a fantastic addition: Oxygen not included, Battle Brothers, Rimworld and the Last spell imo. As for games that feel incomplete without DLC, im sure everyone has smth in mind lol. Also special shoutout to Stardew and Celeste for making free DLCs lol

"Gamedev Bluesky" has not the same ring to it as "Gamedev Twitter" - guess I will just call it "Gamedev Sky" or "Gamedev Heaven" which it is compared to Twitter :D

The "Indie Game Content Streamers" #StarterPack 🎮 go.bsky.app/GJuqgmF If you're an #indiegame -focused #streamer, reply to this post! This could help #indiedevs so we showcase their games! Kept it content-specific due to the 150 max. (Added folks to the best of my ability, sorry if I missed you 🩵)

Hello #Godot and friends! I created a starter pack for Godot, please help me by reposting and tagging some great accounts! go.bsky.app/LqxEN4s

Whoa, my BlueSky sphere grew in the past day, happy seeing how our bubbles grew and became so much more active. Going to follow back soon. Until then sharing and spreading more useful information for BlueSky. 🖤🫶 Thanks for everyone creating resources and the awesome starter packs!

Posting this again because a lot of people said they found it helpful! Guide to ALT text: www.perkins.org/resource/how...

Back by unpopular demand - me. With another starter pack. This is *specifically* for game dev studio accounts, not personal accounts. #GameDev #Gaming #PCGaming As usual throw suggestions in the replies. go.bsky.app/VZ374ep

Bluesky is officially “open” now (no more invites). So just a reminder to not engage with trolls and bad actors, there is no algorithm here to promote or spread them, replying to them is what puts them on everybody’s timelines. So block and give no oxygen.

Women in game development, ASSEMBLEEEE!!!! go.bsky.app/QRnwjSW
