Just bought Dark Rites of Arkham after reading its excellent review on RockPaperShotgun. Really looking forward to playing this weekend!
In less than a week, The Dark Rites of Arkham has received over 100 reviews on Steam, and sales have been spectacular!
The game has exceeded all expectations. I’m still trying to process this.
So, thank you so much for supporting the game! ❤️

20 years ago, as a German exchange student in the US, kids would sometimes ask me how it'd been possible for ordinary people to allow fascism to rise in Germany. We watched movies and read books to try and understand.
Now, I read the news and think: "This is how it happens."

The last 2 games I bought were Stardew Valley and No Man's Sky. Somehow No Man's Sky ended up being much more like what I'd hoped Stardew Valley would give me. The day-night cycle, relationships and events in Stardew would sometimes stress me out, while you can play NMS just super chill and cozy. 🤯

Second attempt at the typewriter paper animation, now taking a paper rest into consideration.
It's a bit wobbly in a way that reminds me of old claymation effects. However, in-game, it won't be one continuous animation, but going line by line, so I think it may work.

I can't say I've been enjoying animating the paper in this typewriter and my approach to doing it is probably dumb, but I think it's turning out alright ...?
Fellow old people out there: This is how paper behaved before we traded it in for tablets, right?

Still working on that typewriter (based on a Synty asset). It's ready for animation now. This thing needs to actually work as a typewriter in-game, so let's see how that goes.
I'm also using this to experiment with washed-out textures, having used mostly flat-colored textures in game so far.

No Players Online - the full version of the viral abandoned online FPS horror game - is back on Steam. 🎉
The game was falsely removed weeks ago, just after launching, which has severely impacted the studio's survivability.
Please spread the word, and support it! ❤️

How I started making indie games:
- Wanted to become a game dev as a teen
- Always overscoped
- Had an existential crisis and studied humanities
- Two career changes later, came full circle and work as a programmer
- Game dev has been my most persistent hobby since
