Back from vacation. Will get back to posting more frequently now. Lot's of things in the oven!

Also quite literally. Started getting into gluten-free bread baking recently.

My studio now officially has a name:

☕✨ Cosmic Mocca ✨☕

And the Filmstiftung NRW is funding the concept+prototype phase for my game Worldlines, a 3D visual novel about two (ex-)lovers in space who grow closer while drifting apart.

The League is in motion!
Things have been quiet on purpose, but The Arab League of Misfits is in "reconstruction" mode at the studio with mechanics tightened, cards rebuilt and jokes sharpened.

The lid stays on for now, but we can give you a glimpse at the finalized game logo, courtesy of the talented Ibrahim Hamdi.

Started working on a progression system for your Animons where you can increase affection levels (by taking them on runs) and trick mastery (by using the trick)

Progress is shared among Animons with the same name/number.

Hey!

I'm raising money for Feeding America over on my twitch channel. We've already raised nearly $600 and if we hit $1,000, I'll bleach my hair (and look like discount eminem i guess)

Think I'm going to dish out 2 bucks a month for this ad-free German search engine. Sounds pretty good, actually.

Wero, the new European payment method, has launched by now. It might not be great yet, nor widespread but if we want a Visa/MasterCard/PayPal alternative, I think it's worth pushing and showing demand/interest. It works with my bank already!

KIKI #13 concept but with added background stuff, which match the overall style more. Going for the psychedelic, vibrant and more colorful look.

Here's a little progress on the revamp of the enemy intelligence. It now evaluates the best dice values for each trick and takes bonus triggers into account. It also calculates scores depending on amount of re-rolls needed, probability, and effect gains.

When @aceottorney.bsky.social first told me about this I said "this could change people's lives and stop developers from getting exploited" and having seen the final resource, I think I was not wrong. I'd call it a must-bookmark for indie devs.
