Bastien Gorissen @bago.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Hopefully Gamescom, hopefully! These big industry events have a way to leave me with so much food for thought... This year the XR conversations were leaning on the resigned/pessimistic side (many people considering pivoting to flat screen). But not everyone is jumping ships... 170
Bastien Gorissen @bago.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Of course it's when I have to leave Gamescom for the day that I spot a game with a sign saying "The Indie Xebogears". Guess I know what I'm testing tomorrow... 030
Bastien Gorissen @bago.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Meetings and business are cool, but sometimes it's also about being a fan! #FFXIVgamescom 050
Bastien Gorissen @bago.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Great to have met new and old faces already tonight! A good start to the week! 030

Bastien Gorissen @bago.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Still a wonderful experience that really brings out some of the best VR can give you! 150
Bastien Gorissen @bago.bsky.social · 17/08/2026That top-notch compositing using the new Blender 5.2 video editor feature speaks for itself! But jokes asides, we're super keen on meeting new (and old) faces during the event! We know mixers will be primarily about that, but in case you want some more relaxed, 1-on-1 conversations, hit us up! 051

Bastien Gorissen @bago.bsky.social · 22/06/2026Generative AI might be what pushes me off music streaming completely... Second guessing every new artist you come across or even new releases by ones you follow is just so tiring and awful. 040
Bastien Gorissen @bago.bsky.social · 25/03/2026It's finally here! Another step towards making the game more real! Go forth and wishlist ! 🙏 062
Bastien Gorissen @bago.bsky.social · 24/03/2026We're working overtime to bring this to life, felt good to show some of that hard work! Thanks a ton @jamiefeltham.bsky.social for the opportunity ! 041

Bastien Gorissen @bago.bsky.social · 15/09/2025Not "very close" anymore! Escape From Mandrillia is out of early access and the staggering amount of work @germanban.bsky.social has poured into it really makes it a special project, one I am so happy to see reach Full Release! Go PC vs. VR games!! 120
Bastien Gorissen @bago.bsky.social · 23/08/2025As devs, there are many reasons to love Gamescom : opportunities, friends, parties... But above all, I love meeting other passionate developers and listen to them talk about their work, it always reminds me why we do this, and I leave the halls with renewed enthusiasm. So here, meet a few of them: 182
Bastien Gorissen @bago.bsky.social · 27/07/2025Just a heads-up, we're planning a small quality of life update later this year! We're working on several projects at the same time, but we want to give Silhouette some love too! 0121
