We are so hyped, this is our new game ... *drum roll* PVKK: Planetenverteidigungskanonenkommandant The game comes from a love of pressing satisfying buttons and a fascination of old cockpits. Mix that with a bit of escape room and "Papers, Please" and you got PVKK.

@tha_rami Whenever someone writes the game name like that, i do wonder if they typed it or copied it. I'm rooting for typed! Also, there is a thrill as a dev of potentially spelling your own game wrongly. I type it always, just to get the adrenaline going.

I was a bit anxious with the upcoming Dome Keeper update. It does not add new content, but deeply reworks an existing Keeper, the Assessor. I thought people might be mad it's not new content. I'm so happy about the responses, showing so much appreciation for improvements.🔗↘️

Iteration speed is the most important thing for me to make games. Games become good via improving them in many iterations, after listening to player feedback and testing out your ideas. Godot is really made for this and really supports swift iteration.

You can run individual scenes, remote debug (and change) the whole scene tree and hot reload script changes. It's just a joy to work with, and from my view easily the best engine if you want to make 2D games.

As with any software, you can encounter some bugs or issues, but generally Godot is incredibly stable and works very well. I never had an issue i could not work around with, even without needing to be involved in engine code.

Just had a wonderful bug in @DomeKeeper . I'm working on mouse controls for keepers and domes. Strangely, the sword of this dome would refuse to work when it snows - otherwise it worked fine. The reason: the snow layer was capturing the mouse input, not allowing it to propagate.

I added clouds to obscure unlockable regions, for the suspense! Feels very wrong doing this, 3 days before release. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #GodotEngine

A member of our Discord asked about @DomeKeeper 's Drillbert: "how does he eat where is his mouth" I felt like I needed to set the record straight. #domekeeper #drillbert #definitelycanon

@reduzio @MV_Raffa @godotengine I think universities were causing that common belief too, with making reusability the holy grail. Building a shared abstraction also creates a dependency, which in my experience is often bad for building games, as what you build is often volatile until the design finalizes.

I was watching a funny clip yesterday, but it was on japanese, which i don't speak. So naturally, i turned up the volume (to understand it better). These reminders of how stupid i am keep me humble.

Wir lieben game jams und machen auch gern Prototypen. Kurzum, wir machen Spiele die uns gefallen und kreativ locken, ohne Einschränkungen. Die können auch so aussehen, ganz anders als Dome Keeper. 3/7

@DomeKeeper I told her to press the joystick up - and of course she pulled it upwards, pulling it out of the controller. Video game up is not equal to real life up, i learned. Having a 3 year old is an amazing experience, as you can share seeing the world with fresh eyes.

@OllyWrites In school, 15 years ago. First date was playing split screen halo on a 14 inch CRT, on the original Xbox in her room. Good times! Now we make games together, and love it :)

We made a turn-based caravan apocalypse für #ldjam49 . Very happy with the graphics, music and polish, but unsure if the concept/game design is too large for a jam to get (really) right. Play it here: (feedback pls) #gamejam #gamedev #indiegame #LudumDare

The new sword dome turned out really nice. Not easy to learn, but very powerful when mastered, and it allows really skillful play. So, a great second dome :) #indiedev #gamedev #GodotEngine
