German indie game dev studio currently working on a Metroidbrainia called Waters of Sal Naména.
The first half of November was already a blast: last week we exhibited our prototype at the Hack&Make and this week, Michelle and Felix went to the GodotFest in Munich. Thanks again to @gamesbavaria.bsky.social for giving us the opportunity to attend this amazing event!

The best puzzle games are like magic! They use misdirection…and sometimes make us feel like fools.

How some of the best puzzle games are a lesson in magic and misdirection · Thinky Games
Puzzle games don’t make us feel smart, nor inspire us to 'be smart', but quite the opposite. They make fools of us. Dazzled, starry-eyed fools. And with ignorance comes bliss. Well…most of the time.

Values such as diversity, anti-discrimination and a harassment-free work environment are still not as self-explanatory as we would wish them to be. That's why we put our name on the list of the initiative hier-spielt-vielfalt.de. Showing colors is becoming more important every day in these times. 🏳️🌈🎮

Today's #ShowcaseSunday: the unusual job simulator game "That's not my Neighbor". It combines the popular gameplay concept of Lucas Pope's "Papers, Please" (2013) with humor, horror and bizarre aesthetics and was entirely developed in Godot 4.
