Also, this happened. As my friends and contacts know - outside my busy, challenging and fulfilling work in games, I also write books. Lots of books, as writing helps me relaxing and getting into a different head space far away from spreadsheets, Jira, Unity and Unreal (or whatever I work in).So, last week the 7th Stargazer novel got released - and cracked No1 in 3 different science fiction categories on Amazon within 24 hours. One week later, it is still going strong and holding the crown in Metaphysical. Not bad for a hobby that balances out my days and weeks! https://lnkd.in/gqMBPu7T

If you are attending Unreal Fest 2024 and looking for a talk at 2:30PM tomorrow - let me invite you to ours:We are tackling my first IP ever - and its resurrection under the Intr Studio umbrella! Caitlin Lomax and I will explain why and how we revive Anderson and The Legacy of Cthulhu as custom Fortnite Map, using UEFN and various shortcuts to test the waters (around R'lyeh, of course) for the return of a legacy IP!

Trust me, if you have the Netflix App, you should totally check that one out. And if not, it is probably time to get it 😀 It was really exciting watching the game being made (full disclaimer, not my project) and witnessing it grow into the awesome gem that has been released now! So, give it a shot!

In light of the International Women's Day 2024 it´s important to remember that actions speak more than mere words. The IGEA article highlights and celebrates remarkable women and gender diverse people in Australia who are already shaping the industry, and the list is as long as it is impressive. However, looking at the %, it is obvious that we as games industry still have a long way ahead of us. The good news is, everyone of us can contribute - through empowerment, deconstruction of glass walls and glass ceilings, through diversity-conscious hiring and career progression strategies, and, of course, through awareness.End of my reflections, give it a read yourself:https://lnkd.in/gRBeEZkm

As someone who has enthusiastically played shooters as a teenager, designed and developed a shooter as first own IP and then worked on some iconic genre titles afterwards, I am really excited that PlaySide has signed MOUSE. I mean, watch the trailers - animation, art style and music are superb, the setting is as unique as it gets and the game-play gives me some some very positive Outlaws / Doom flashbacks. Can`t wait to play that one!

While my 6th Stargazer Novel has been published yesterday (in German), I have a special treat for all my friends in the USA - at least, if you own an Amazon Prime account. Homegrown Games, now a label of Intr Studio, has included the dystopian SciFi Thriller "Generation 23" in the free reading offer for Amazon Prime users. Uncut and in full lenght!While we always include our novels in Kindle Unlimited, it is a special honour for us to be selected for Prime in the largest market of the world.Grab your free copy now!https://lnkd.in/gH2jHCpK
