Status UpdateSo @gamescom is over and after I took the rest of the school holidays to recharge, I thought to write just a quick thread about the experience. #gamescom2024 #indiedev 🧵
@gamescom Me and my firstborn were just regular visitors on friday and saturday. Friday was already very packed, made me remember I’m not comfortable with crowds. 😆 Saturday was sold out and a crowdpocalypse.
@gamescom Best part of @gamescom was, hands down, the @IndieArenaBooth – tightly packed games on display, indie devs nearby to answer questions. There even was a free non-alcoholic beer stand somewhere in the middle.
@gamescom @IndieArenaBooth We didn’t have the time and patience to try out everything, but a few games stood out: *drumroll* 🥁
@gamescom @IndieArenaBooth The amazing Planetenverteidigungskanonenkommandat by @Bippinbits – great to meet @MV_Raffa who I knew from a previous life. Thanks for the tea and swag! 🙏
