Yelp, I went mad and started the... drumroll... Game Invention Newsletter! omnisystems.kit.com Our mission: "Charting the games universe with indie game veterans Omni Systems" We are three editions into this, and frankly it's great fun. Would love to get feedback. :-) #indiegames #gamedev #games

Like ambient music? Like video game OSTs? How about a nice shared spreadsheet with video game ambient OSTs recommended by the folks at r/ambientmusic? www.reddit.com/r/ambientmus... (They gave me so many recs that we collated it all into a public resource.) #games #videogames #ambient #music

Part 2 is dropping soon and is chocka with great stories, unknown facts and insights. Not just on movie tie-ins but games as well. Can't stress enough how lovely it was to do this interview with the man. #sci-fi #scifi #games #videogames #starwars #startrek #alien #author #books.

Recently @rudolfkremers.bsky.social had the honour of interviewing legendary sci-fi author Alan Dean Foster to talk about his inspirations, an unreleased Alien sequel, and MUCH more! #Alien #Scifi #Author #Books

This was a really interesting thing to work on. Still see many games struggle with RTS & other pc-centric controls to console/joypad, so we decided to share what we learned, design docs & build included, so other people can benefit from our efforts. #gamedev #gamedesign #rts #indiegames

In this episode of Looking Back at the Future, we revisit a 2019 presentation @rudolfkremers.bsky.social made that challenged one of the biggest myths in game design: that real-time strategy controls can’t work on a console gamepad. #IndieGameDev #IndieGames #RTS www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9sp...

This turned out really well. I love that there are super committed gamers out there who put together these kinds of deep dives in their spare time. This project was quite a ride btw. Many stories that I can't share in public haha. #gamedev #gameshistory #playstation #retrogames

In 2003, @rudolfkremers.bsky.social was lead level designer on a stealth game called Stolen. To say it had a "storied" development is a huge understatement, so when @freeckycake.bsky.social reached out about a video essay they were working on we were more than happy to help out. #IndieGameDev

If you want to have a laugh and read a grumpy manifesto explaining our philosophy of just making earnest valuable content in a world that is in danger of being strangled by evil corporatist you can do so right here. #evilempire #gamedev #media #indiegames #videogames #marketing

We've been posting videos from our Game Invention channel, and recently we kicked off the revamped newsletter, but what exactly IS Game Invention? Here's a blog post from @rudolfkremers.bsky.social answering that question, as well as why we created Game Invention in the first place. #IndieGames

Evil Laser Pod Devastates Asteroid Seedlings. Always fun when one's game creates these little unexpected scenarios. #gamedev #indiegames #games

While working on levels for Eufloria Classic, @rudolfkremers.bsky.social discovered something really interesting about one of the asteroids... Try the Eufloria Classic demo here! - store.steampowered.com/app/3254570/... #IndieGameDev #IndieGames #VideoGames
