The #SteamAutumnSale has begun and you can get Recollection for just a single dollar / euro / your regional equivalent 💸
Trust me when I say that it's a perfect game for a cozy yet slightly melancholic autumn evening 😊

Huge thanks to everyone who played, shared & gave feedback on The Greenening demo! 💚
The response has been kind, constructive & way bigger than I expected.
Lots to think about now, but it's a great place to be in 😊

Packed my PC, monitors and all and currently taking the bus towards friends who are not affected to leech some of their power :)

Incredibly excited to announce that The Greenening Demo will be out TOMORROW on Steam! 🌱
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts about this wholesome incremental journey I've been building for the better part of the year 😊

This just in 😮
Probably still two or three weeks until the actual release to polish and fix things, but it's coming soon!
I'm pretty nervous and excited already, can't wait to hear what people think 😊
(Gamescom was really nice and affirming in that regard)

Really happy to be a part of the #BackToSchool games celebration happening this week on Steam!
It features lots of awesome educational and nature-themed games (the latter category hosting The Greenening 😊)

I'm at #gamescom!
And The Greenening will be publicly playable for the first time ever at the Amaze booth in the middle of Hall 10.2 (E030).
It takes the spotlight today between 2pm and 4pm, come by and say hi if you like ☺️

Just noticed that the wishlist comparison descriptors for the three thingies I got on Steam are beautifully colorful 🎨
Can you guess which one is which? 😊
(options are my upcoming game The Greenening, my first game Recollection and the Recollection soundtrack)

Super happy that both Recollection (at its lowest price ever) and The Greenening are part of the "Games Forged in Germany" Steam event!

Please check out these amazing games by awesome devs from Germany (among them many friends of mine 💚)

If you're longing for a relaxing and introspective night walk on these hot summer days, then this game might just be for you 😊

Added a new gameplay mechanic to The Greenening this week:
Water clusters!
They can be charged and explode when full, clearing a big area. They can also be chained together, which is quite fun 😊
(new colorful bushes in there too)

Created the Title Screen for The Greenening today, what do you think?
I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, but feedback is always much appreciated!

Updated the trailer and Steam page for The Greenening today to reflect the latest changes and especially to incorporate the main character of the game (most likely named Sparkle😊)
Feedback and shares much appreciated! 💚

The Greenening just got some shiny new effects! ✨
The cloud trail, dust particles and watering effect are subtle enough to not be distracting, but make the game feel much more alive, I think.
How do you like them?

Adding a trail to my cloud, first try might be "a bit" much but looks pretty cool in its own way 😁

"What's that pink bubble gum in the middle of the screen?", they asked.
So I decided to try something out 😊

Am I a #solodevsurvivor? Not sure, as I make most of my income from freelancing and only a small fraction from #indiedev.
But maybe that'll change (at least a tiny bit) with my upcoming second game The Greenening, a short incremental game about water, life and discovery. 🌱

The #SteamSpringSale is on and Recollection is at its lowest price yet at 70% off:
store.steampowered.com/app/1804610/...
Spring is not just my fav season, but the most fitting one to check out the game: Both in the real world and in the game nature makes an invigorating return 🌱

Just opened up an old prototype to extract some code snippets and this is the first thing I see.
I really hope these tooltips always delivered on their promise :)
