Game Bakery goes Gamescom! 🎮 Just like every year, several of our Bakers will travel to Cologne, Germany, this week to attend the Gamescom, Europe's largest video game trade show, to showcase their games and to get inspired! Will you be there as well? #GameBakery #Groningen #Gamescom #indiedev
We are proud to announce that we will be sponsoring this year’s edition of LevelUp again! 🥳 LevelUp is a local game dev industry networking event here in Groningen. We will even have our own booth there this time! 🎉 Are you planning on attending as well? Come say hi 👋 #GameBakery #LevelUp
I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."
Good luck, Sonja! You've been our Game Dev Hero from the start!
Eloquence@eloquencegame.bsky.social · 3mo agoTonight are the first ever Game Dev Heroes Benelux awards! That our artist @sonjavanvuure.bsky.social is one of the nominees in the Art & Animation category was no surprise to us. Just look at the gorgeous stuff she creates! Good luck tonight, Sonja! We're all rooting for you! #gameart #indiegame
Have you seen our new event decoration yet? We recently updated our Game Bakery banner with new photos and designs. Definitely check them out next time you're here! #GameBakery #Groningen #Games #indiegames #gamedev #indie
still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them
Last Friday was the 3rd edition of the playdev.club. hosted at the Game Bakery! 20 game devs of all kinds came together and showcased, tested, and gave feedback on each others' prototypes. We hope you got tons of valuable feedback 🎮 #GameBakery

Word of mouth is huge for indie devs, plus you get to force your niche obsession onto your friends!
Casey Explosion@caseyexplosion.bsky.social · 5mo agoIt's funny, whenever I stream or talk about an indie game on social media, I can see a bunch of Steam friends wishlisting or buying it. Like, it's one way I know I do have an effect on games, and I don't know I'm a relative small fry, but it makes an impact. This works.
Next week we are the host of playdev. club, a meetup where game developers test & give feedback on each others' prototypes. Note that you can only join if you bring a game! 🎮 More info & signup link on the @dutchgamesassociation.nl site: dutchgamesassociation.nl/events/playd... #GameBakery

VGC@videogameschronicle.com · 7mo agoSony has patented the idea of AI-generated podcasts hosted by characters from its games. The idea would see players getting their own bespoke podcasts on their console, telling them what's new, hosted by the characters of the games they've been playing. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/sony-pa...
Dit stond al een heel lange tijd op m'n wishlist: ik mocht een weekend lang één groep volgen tijdens de Global Game Jam. Waar ze in 48 uur een volledige extraction shooter uit de grond wisten te stampen, middenin een nerfgun-slagveld. dvhn.nl/meer/tech/in...
In drie dagen tijd moesten deze Groningers een volledige game bouwen

Eloquence is no longer developed by Multiverse Narratives! That name is used for narrative design services (B2B). Also using it for my own projects (B2C) causes confusion. So, I started a new studio! Blue North Games delivers games that bring innovation to the intersection of narrative and gameplay
Eloquence@eloquencegame.bsky.social · 8mo agoANNOUNCEMENT: the Eloquence team shall henceforth be known as Blue North Games! We have a logo and everything*! Blue North Games has more projects in the pipeline, but our focus remains on Eloquence for the immediate future. More news on that later! *Actually just a name and logo at this time
