Recently, I got interviewed by the magazine "Dein SPIEGEL", a spin-off of the "SPIEGEL" dedicated to a younger audience. That's my first appearance in a traditional magazine and I think TFE makes a good impression in it 😁
If you're living in Germany, make sure to stop by a Kiosk and try to find TFE!
So bekommt ihr neue #SIEDLER in #TheFirstExplorers
Nach längerer, aber sehr produktiver News-Pause zum Siedler-Like Hoffnungsträger @thefirstexplorers.com gibt es endlich wieder etwas zu berichten.
Daher heute alles zu Nahrung, Mahlzeiten und natürlich auch wie ihr daraus waschechte Träger macht.
Welcome back, Explorers!
We're continuing our journey into the heart of The First Explorers' mechanics.
This new DevBlog is about your growing settlement: food, meals, and Carriers!
