Hey friends, following the sudden cancellation of my current project, I’m now looking for new opportunities as a Level or Game Designer within Germany or across Europe.

I’m heartbroken to be leaving Prague, but trying to stay positive & excited about the future.

It bought the purple tee with the chinese logo from the merch shop back in the day and it's probably my most worn shirt😅 had to retire it to a sleeping shirt two years ago since its so worn out

Played Firewatch during my first year of university studying Game Design, loved it to bits! It had a big influence on how I understand and design games🙏

Gyms, Zoos, and Museums: Your documentation should be in-game YouTube video by Robin-Yann Storm

A video on gyms, zoos and museums! A must-watch by @rystorm.com for any indie out there. Goes into why you should choose different ways of documentation sometimes, learned a lot myself!

1000%! It's one of my favorites of the decade 🙏

Bin persönlich kein Fan der verschiedenenfarbenen Buchstaben in den Entwürfen, und generell passiert da in den meisten sehr viel. Wirkt auf mich etwas noisy und unintentional statt verspielt (mutmaße das, dass die Idee war?). Am meisten spricht mich N von allen an!

This.

A slide that reads "Presenting games primarily as consumer products undermines arguments to preserve and make them accessible as an art form." from a MAGFest panel. That panel from the Dark Knight Returns where he breaks the gun also is on there.

That's what I'm talking about.

“Hey man, me and the boys were thinking of hanging out and going bowling, wanna come?”

“UGH MORE FRIENDSLOP?”

spongebob screaming at a fish saying "I FUCKING LOVE SEQUALS THAT REUSE ENGINES AND ASSETS FROM THEIR PREDECESSORS" "I WANT TO FUCKING EXPERIENCE GAMES THAT EXPLORE THE CREATIVE POSSIBILITIES OF A WORLD WITHIN AN EXISTING FRAMEWORK" With a bunch of pictures of games that did so

Luca Ronconi's production of Niccolò Jommelli's opera "Fetonte" Set design by Mauro Pagano (1951-1988)

Tennessee Williams’s Suddenly Last Summer in 1998. Set design by Ralph Koltai (1924-2018)

Jean-Christophe Maillot's production of Faust. Set design by Rolf Sachs (b. 1955)

Simon Armitage's production of the Odyssey. Set design by Robert Wilson (1941-2025)

There should be more games inspired by avant-garde stage design.

Happy “Do I Still Remember How To Make A Video Game” Eve!!!!!
