The craziest part about the new SRF article about funding for games in Zurich is that 58% of the readers say they have played a Swiss video game before.

That not only means they care about (Swiss) indie games, but also that they know which games actually were made in Switzerland 🤯

Can't get enough of these sealed doors 😍

I know, the "yellow paint" discussion is very 2024, but I'm playing Elden Ring over the holidays and their use of "yellow paint" - or refusal thereof - amuses me a lot.

💕 Have some neat graphs as an extra

💕 You can also look into the spreadsheet here:

Hello, are you looking for some ✨ cozy game ✨ data?

Since the Steam Next Fest algorithm changed, I tracked over 100 cozy games and looked into how many followers they gained.

I'll share my insights in a thread ⭐

Also, it's great to see that it took something random like opening this account to notice that there is a random ghost hand in the Grimoire Groves key art that we have been using for months now.
