Können wir darüber sprechen, was für ein krasser Tabubruch es ist, wenn eine Regierung offen zugibt, politisch nicht auf Linie stehende Organisationen zu bekämpfen? Und dabei ausgerechnet Demokratiebildung in Deutschland einstampft?

My masters thesis was on pedestrian deaths in car crashes, focusing on sound since at the time there was strong debate that electric cars needed to be audible for blind people like myself. There was absolutely no statistical significance in pedestrian safety- it was 100% on the car driver.

So what do you think about level editors in puzzle games? Is that something you want or would use? Is there a game that you enjoyed more because of the level editor or community levels? #indieGameDev #puzzleGames #levelEditor

Yeah, we are very much in the Kei range with our games 😅 Interesting to see in the article: even though the number of kei games increases rapidly, their total market share stays at about 25% of games sold. No wonder it's getting more and more difficult to sell small games... #indieGameDev

Same here 😅 Especially if you already have a vision in mind for some part of the game it is so tempting to start there to see the vision come to life... But in prototyping you have to focus on the parts that you are _the_least_ certain about to see whether you can make them work!

Just make it exist first - you can make it good later! When developing our game TRAILS, a lot of time was spent on improvements and polish, but the crucial first step was a prototype that was created in less than a week! #indieGameDev #prototyping

the "just make it exist first" meme. In the first row of images a screenshot of a prototype of our game Trails using only unity buildin elements like simple cubes and spheres is placed next to the sentence "Just make it exist first" and a crudely drawn circle. In the second row a screenshot during a later phase of development with very rough outline shaders but somewhat final colors and some 3d models. In the third row next to a perfect circle and the sentence "You can make it good later" is a screenshot of our final game with a well balanced cartoon look, a background texture and refined UI.

Choose your own colors! 💜🦥 With update 1.3 of TRAILS you are able to customize the ships' colors to make them stand out best for your individual needs. Even though we are only a small studio, as neurodivergent devs we care about making our games as accessible as possible. #gamedev #accessibility

A screenshot of the color change menu from TRAILS. It has three ships with 10 color options for each ship and a possibiliy to choose the ship's background from all 5 backgrounds in the game.

Did you know? 3 out of 4 devs of this game are non-binary. #PrideMonth is important for us not just to show visibility but also as a month honoring the fight of those that came before us and paved the way for the rights we have & which are currently under attack. Pride means continuing the fight

Title Art of the game TRAILS in the colors of the non-binary flag. In the foreground a purple and white sandship glides through a yellow desert. In the background there is a rising or setting yellow sun in front of a purple sky and behind black mountains. The title TRAILS is inside of the sun.
