![R.I.: Luftrauser was just crazy jam game that we made in two days back in 2011. It was this simple Flash game that we really liked, so we decided to follow up on it. Luftrausers was mentioned [proposed] first when we were pulling out of a deep depression caused by Ridiculous Fishing being cloned, and Jan Willem prototyped the first build on an airplane out of 2013's Game Developers Conference. Luftrausers changes a lot about the original. Players can now build one of over a hundred different airplane combinations, there are missions to be completed to unlock the game and the enemy roster was upgraded significantly. We refused to look at the original game while creating the first few prototypes of Luftrausers. One of the most interesting stories from development is that, while the original jam game took us less than 48 hours to create, the sequel took weeks to get up to that same level of quality we remembered from the original. It wasn't until we recreated the feeling we remembered from the Flash game in Luftrausers that we allowed ourselves to play the original. When we opened the original Luftrausers we were baffled. The original game was so boring and flat compared to the new prototype we had. We'd been building Luftrausers to equal our memories of a game built to make you feel good. In the new game, we had made the game to feel as good as we remembered the original game to feel, and the nostalgia goggles definitely were part of that.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:j7g5d6zzh7dzso2ldq6lhe5e/bafkreiaakulcbr52kunw66mkxvat3r4v34hwzgwaachy5rawtf63iqkcbi)

I'm a gamedev programmer, but for my game I spent as much time drawing. What sparked it was a growing dislike for generic AI "art", which made me accept and appreciate the quirks of my own hand-drawn art. Demo on Steam, link in Bio. Wishlist if you 😍. #ScreenshotSaturday #DigitalArt #IndieDev
A compass containing a gold-like triangular gemstone. It points to a location the compass was at previously. Speaking its command word makes it forget the previous location and point to its current location. Where did its previous owner make it point to? #magicitemshop #ttrpg #dnd

Are you a) Someone familiar with multiplayer turn-based strategy, b) Comfortable talking into a mic and having your voice recorded, and c) Wanting to earn like 100 bucks? I'm looking to record some multiplayer footage for DOCTRINEERS for marketing purposes. You'll be compensated for your time.
Hello! For a potential piece on Eurogamer, I would love to know what cool little things people in and around games are working on. Not full games, but fun, interesting, weird projects or side projects. Things you're noodling around with, things you just think are neat. Replies/reposts very welcome!
I was asked about a small breakdown for the 3D anime ramen and realized my breakdown thread was on the cursed site from which I deleted my account 😅 So I'm gonna post a small 🧵 here
It was really fun to work on. Please try it!

Unfortunately I have a TTRPG manual that really needs an interesting setting to back it up, and I only have 14 pages for it.
Can you lovely lot send my way the best #PS1 - #PSX artists you know that might be looking for work? (Generally looking for more crash bandicoot/Spyro looking stuff over photo based/Horror works) It's for a thing 👀 #gamedev #gameart

One thing I never did was a post-mortem of Sir. Perhaps this is as good a time and place as any to talk about some of that. It started in 2010 when Channel 4 had some money to spend on making educational games. For some reason they asked me. ->thread

2 - The timing of the measurement matters too. Sure. I can't disclose just PlayStation here, so I hope the total market look for the 12-month period ending June also going back to 2003 will suffice.
Problem: Despite being iconic, Vikings didn't actually wear horned helmets. Solution: Make the Viking enemies bulls. (I take the historical accuracy of my green bat 3D platformer very seriously)
