I'm a fan of fighting games and music, so always have to double check my Gesse.

Graphic in blue, pink and white that says "Apply until April 13, Submissions Open, Indie Arena Booth 2026 at gamescom and 2.037,5 square meters". The "April 13" is crossed out by a blue line and above it it says "April 20".

I sometimes think this about VR.
We just put out a realistic game that is very immersion heavy, with a hyper realism.
But I often wonder about a project that hooks you with immersion and then can break reality and back again 🤔

Art school bullies are the meanest

It's out!!!!

You too can make Henry go outside and plant a tree for less than the cost of a cup of coffee!

A drawn meme that shows a baby winnig at chess in the upper half of the picture with the text: "Devs who missed the deadline" and a large muscular person with a computer screen instead of a head patting the baby's head in the lower half of the picture with the text "IAB extending it to April 20".
