Synthesizer “Cookin“

Cookin is a free VST synthesizer that comes with 8 cool presets. I’ve been working on this simple VST as a weekend project.

GGJ17 - Conductor Quest

This years Global Game Jam was a blast! I had the opportunity to work with Maik (a super skilled artist) and together we built this lovely rhythm dungeon crawler for mobile. It’s super easy, all you have to do is imitate the monster to beat it.

Mixdown got release!

Grove

Grove is a relaxing exploring experience we created during a 8h game jam. Our goal was to create something that expresses the relaxing atmosphere our team experienced after an exhausting week of game conferences.

Nordic Game Jam 16 - Finalist

At Nordic nobody wanted to listen to Blizzards initial advice, which they gave at the keynote: “There are no bad ideas for jam games, besides networking! Don’t try to include networking in your game at a 48h jam!”. Who would have thought that not listening to them would get our game nominated for the final presentation and even better won us the GoogleCast audience choice award! Here is a short gameplay video.

Introducing Mixdown

During Christmas holidays I was exploring what kind of interfaces would allow for intuitive music creation and after just one week of working on it consistently I came up with this! One or two years ago I became frustrated with how hard music creation is perceived, therefor I started exploring options which remove obstacles that seem to be standing in the way of getting started.

In Taiwan to meet local indie game developers

Three weeks ago, during my vacation in Taiwan, I had the opportunity to participate in a taiwanese Indie Game Festival called Game on weekend, which was split into a day of game showcases followed by a two day game jam.

On the first day I was mainly playing games and talking with indie devs. The Organizer of the event told me that the local indie scene starting developing only three years ago and has since been growing fast. Contrary to what I expected from a three year old community, their games felt really polished, looked good and some were quite innovative. Found a pretty amazing music game called Beat Stomper at the showcase.

My personal agenda at the event was mainly to network, because I think that the asian community is not as well connected to the rest of the game dev community, as America or Europe. I understand that Asia and Europe / America are quite different markets, even the american is quite different from the european market, but since we all develop games I have the urge to make cross-continent-interaction a bit easier. Everybody profits from knowledge sharing, which right now due to a definitely existing language barrier is still quite hard (being able to speak some Chinese definitely helped me). So if anyone ever wants to meet some taiwanese game devs, shoot me a message!

Aragic - New UI

Aragic DevLog1

For the last month or so have been working on a small prototype that we plan on showcasing at a local event called “Talk & Play” to get some very early stage feedback. We mainly want to know whether our core game mechanic, the battle, is fun or not and what things are un- / intuitive. Depending on what sort of feedback we get, we might even release the prototype online.
