Berlin is a city filled with history. And what better way to experience some of it by playing a masterfully crafted and stunning looking video game? You’re right - there is none!
Check out this gem of an indie game straight out of Berlin!
Much 🫶 to the whole team!
Each release is a miracle 🤗

The Berlin Apartment is the most beautiful story-driven game I've played recently with a glimpse into the rich, but in many ways, painful and complicated past of Germany over the last century. I cannot recommend it enough.
Thank you @bluebackpack.bsky.social for this beautiful game and experience.

having resumed lovely @adamdolin.bsky.social’s job on god of war I think player attention is a staffing and labour issue as well as something that requires designing a game towards as a whole, and @rich-lem.bsky.social has done the best talk on player attention www.gdcvault.com/play/1015745...

Game design is simple, actually. Except when it isn't. Here are the 12 things you need to know.
Game design is simple, actually
So, let’s just walk through the whole thing, end to end. Here’s a twelve-step program for understanding game design. One: Fun There are a lot of things people call “fun.” But most of them are not useful for getting better at making games, which is usually why people read articles like this. The fun of a bit of confetti exploding in front of you, and the fun of excruciating pain and risk to life and limb as you free climb a cliff are just not usefully paired together.
