Do people actually use Miro boards and any similar tools actively in production for games that get shipped or is this one of the tools that university students get taught and everyone likes the idea of but dies down during a project just like scrum?

We are getting outreaches of people that would like to meet us at the GDC and no one from our team will be there </3
Aside of that I wouldn't feel exactly save traveling to the USA right now...

I played Civilization quite a bit in the past and was looking forward to 7. One point is that there is a lot critic about the UI. But like neither on the official store nor in a 25 minutes "Gameplay Trailer" you see the UI once. I hate it when companies do this.

Consuming news makes me realize that I'd should start transitioning away from products of US/Big companies and try to use more EU/Open Source alternatives. Even if it comes with inconveniences.

Just finished to enter #HallsOfTorment for a German small game award and it was the most painful award entry I ever had to make, almost like they don't want games to enter x_x

The same people not feeling comfortable playing women in games say that trans people should not change their gender and accept the way they are born with.

The new Minecraft movie is basically an Isekai, just as the Super Mario Bros movie was. The Age of Hollywood Isekais is coming!

I'll be on the Vienna Comic Con this weekend, Halls of Torment will be there as well. It's my first Comic Con, I don't know what to expect :'D
Lets see if I can connect with some game devs there :3

It's hilariously easy and quick to add the rating, Valve sent mails weeks and months ago. I boggles my mind that so many devs / publishers are not caring. Germany is 7.2% of our revenue and it literally takes 5-10 minutes per game. There is even a quick link on the dash board.
Hey Indie devs make sure you add age rating because with new regulation on the German Steam Store games are marked hidden or not available without age rating.

New Starter Pack brewing, exclusively for #gamedev that support #Linux directly.

I've added a good few to start, but boosts and suggestions appreciated.

If you're a dev replying, be sure to link your game(s).
