TRAILS is a cozy puzzle game in which you guide sand ships across a crumbling desert to reach isolated outposts. Draw paths for each ship across the treacherous sands, planning carefully to avoid collisions and ensure each ship reaches its goal. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #puzzlegame

Level 5 of our game TRAILS in portrait mode.
Two sandships need to get to their goals. There are already paths drawn in.

Level 46 of the main path of TRAILS in portrait mode. A grey ship has already got a path through the red desert and the player needs to get two other ships towards their destination while bringing water to some villages and not crashing into each other.

The photo shows a ticket machine and the doors of the tram on either side of the one person seat.

Except when Windows install instructions are: Either use Chocolatey or winget (which most Windows users won't use), or get prebuilt binaries from some random repo and manually install dependencies. As someone who frequently uses both Windows and Linux, installs are usually easier on the latter.

What's almost clever about this: he has established complaining about games allowing free choices of gender/pronouns/etc as well as about games gender locking roles (locking you into a manly man character is of course fine). This way he can always complain as soon as any character isn't a dude.

Faschismus muss sich nicht durchsetzen. Er kann aufgehalten und besiegt werden, es gibt Beispiele, in denen genau das gelungen ist. Momentan scheint es sehr schwer, sich eine bessere Zukunft vorzustellen, aber sie ist möglich. Es liegt an uns, sie zu erkämpfen.

The last fight took me quite a bit longer than I expected. I ran out of shards and ended up killing her with only the needle. Overall a great game with a few hiccups in when it came to pacing, buildcraft and rewards, but outstanding exploration, combat and env. storytelling.

Was heißt denn "setzt auf"? Ist das einfach Geld für Forschung oder planen sie wirklich mit einem Fusionsreaktor in der BRD in den nächsten 20 Jahren? 😂

The amount of times I have taken damage because I dashed/harpooned over an enemy, intending to turn around and hit the enemy, but instead hit in the dash direction, causing me to back into the boss because I didnt get the knockback from hitting them is getting out of hand.

For a character that moves so quickly hornets turn is really slow.

Im now neck deep in act 3 of silk song and I'm enjoying it imensly, but there is one thing that has been frustrating me and it gets worse with every new boss that requires somewhat quick reactions:

Sister Splinter is my favorite bossfight so far. Like the previous bosses her moves are well telegraphed, few in number and easy to understand. She does add in what made the arena sections so much harder than the earlier bosses though: giving you multiple foes to juggle. Reminiscent of DS2!

radow @radow.bsky.social · 06/09/2025

If you attack them from above the timing is much more forgiving. They can block but don't really have any move to retaliate. Much easier with crests that can attack straight down.

radow @radow.bsky.social · 06/09/2025

The game went totally smooth for me until I hit that arena. Tried it 20+ times without success. I've now finished 3 or 4 more areas and come back a couple of times. Still struggling with particular fight :D

Last day of #gamescom and I finally find some time to check out the non-indie halls. Some slightly amusing observations: People stand in line for 4 hours in order to buy a Wednesday themed drink, but just around the corner no one seems at all interested in playing WoW :D

A text is written on the left of the picture going like this (it's long)

and you know from time to time i'm
just afraid of the power of my desire
like when i'm trapped with myself
looking at the ceiling and wanting
wanting wanting and waiting for
the time to pass really fast so
tomorrow will be now and now
will by with you, so i'm trapped with
myself and the many seconds
are sharped bladed fingers that dig
rivers on my skin and my soul split
for as many nails are caressing my
chest, and the water flows and i'm
horny and i'm tired and i'm longing
for hours and hours for something that
i cannot describe because i don't know
what i really want, seriously, what
do i fucking want in the end - therapy
doesn't fucking end, doesn't it ? - so
i'm drown in my desire of nowness
feeling the urge of being able to
perceive the now of all the things
that surround me and i know i i i i
i i i i can try to focus but it's harder
than i always think to be here with
you and everyone because i need to
be here to begin with and not just
a melted existing being that cannot
endure any form of movement without
bursting in tears of tiredness cause
now this is a thing that i need to accept
that i can't do the things i thought
i could handle when i was young
and not that type of socially exhausted
person so i'm constantly afraid of
myself so i talk a lot, to myself,
for long period of time out loud
to figure what i should do with all
my being and the result is
always that i still should try to
exist because when i'm with
you it's fucking amazing,
that kind of amazing that
makes me want to become the sun
because i want to shine for you
because this is one of your
side effect on me, you are
my sunshine and i'm a mirror
of your smile, and as a happy mirror
i smile back at you
