I'm so glad to hear that! Clouds have something magical to them and I can't help but stare at them whenever I go on walks and imagine things like cloud castles. I am also equally enchanted by the night sky, love to lie down in the middle of nowhere far away from light pollution and gaze for hours ✨

Really got into Archipelago a couple of months ago and I ended up making my own Archipelago randomizer mod for Q-UP. It's a fun project! I really needed something like that in my life right now. Who knew years of indie game dev experience would pay off like that, haha.

My favorite screenshot from testing the mod so far. On the left are the skills I have already discovered in the randomizer and on the right I'm solving a Q-UP jigsaw to unlock more skills for my Q-UP run.

Still looking for a job by the way! I've updated my portfolio and GitHub with some of my previous projects. I'm also taking full time positions! Just hoping to find something that allows me to live close to family and friends for the next couple of years. 🙏 Don't hesitate to reach out! 🙌

I hate it when games artificially prevent certain play styles. Just let me play my games in peace, I don't need these extra obstructions to have fun, or at least let me turn them off please 😭

always love to support my fellow bankrupt game devs!

Any chance it might also get a search/filter feature at some point in the future? 👀 There are so many assets that I often struggle finding specific things I'm looking for. Tried tag studio but it unfortunately doesn't preview 3d models last time I tried. Other recommendations also appreciated! 🙌

We use them in I3ergsteiger for all sorts of things. Their clean design make them very versatile in my opinion. ✨ cave.itch.io/i3ergsteiger

The european citizens' initiative to ban conversion therapies in the EU only has 250k signatures and needs to amass 1 million in the next 7 days... If you live in the EU, please sign it (you can't otherwise); if you don't, please share it around.

Today, the number of submissions exceeded 100, which is equivalent to n = 25. I appreciate everyone helping out with my master's thesis. 💛 There is still time to participate if you haven't yet! I have to write-up my initial results in about a week and have time to update it until the end of May :)

Hey friends, I'm looking for players for my master's thesis! It's a cute casual game about climbing the mountains of Austria. I'm comparing four versions of the same level and I need people to play and fill out surveys for each level. Sharing highly appreciated, thanks!! 💛 cave.itch.io/bergsteiger

And that's pretty much it I think. I'm not a social media guy so not sure how much I'll be posting, but I'll try to keep you updated. 💛

@chromatis.bsky.social and I created a minigame collection called Party Parade in 2018 which was very popular on Minecraft Realms. Afterwards I was busy for a couple of years creating a server thingy where our community can play games made by us and our friends together for free. 🙌

I also make games for Minecraft, similar to how people make games for Roblox or Garry's Mod. That's probably also what I'm most known for. I often wonder how many people even know that you can write code in Minecraft. 👀

Screenshot of Party Parade source code. Just wanted to share with people that have never seen cursed code before.

If you are interested, I heavily recommend checking out the Online Multiplayer Demo with friends first, as the game is not catered to people playing by themselves yet (the bots are brutal!😅) But if you like it, the game will be participating in next week's Steam sale!

Steam Autumn Sale, Nov 27 to Dec 4 at 10 AM Pacific. Spread Transmission 25% off, $5.99 instead of $7.99

I have released a multiplayer board game on Steam called "Spread: Transmission", where players take turns trying to conquer a board. It features a level editor and different game modes that can be mixed & customized, allowing players to play on custom boards with their own rules.

I should probably introduce myself for anyone who doesn't know me yet. Hi, I'm Cave!👋 I'm studying game engineering and I'm creating games in my spare time. Most of them happen to be multiplayer, but as a variety gamer there are lots of very different games I'd like to make at some point, haha. 😅

Thanks a lot, very appreciated! 🙏

Just saw this. Am not good at this social media stuff but I have released a multiplayer board game on Steam that pretty much just my friends and family play, haha. Not sure if I fit the bill. 👀
