@whilhorst.bsky.socialWhat. A. Game. It only took us, uh... Six hours to see this round of Star Wars Rebellion through. But it ended with me doing a one-in-a-million shot blowing up the Death Star after the Empire found my secret rebel base. Such brilliant dynamic game design.

@whilhorst.bsky.socialReposted by @whilhorst.bsky.socialEarlier this year I met @veselekov.bsky.social and @haraiva.bsky.social. I wanted to learn more about how they make artistic games in the southern hemisphere. In an industry that feels so stagnant, their works are bold, provocative and truthful. For @unpause.nl 👇

@whilhorst.bsky.socialAlways hard to capture it within a word limit and as an outsider, but glad you enjoyed the piece :)
@whilhorst.bsky.socialAlso please check out Penguin Colony when it launches next week! It is shaping up to be another thought-provoking and powerful story, with a unique setting and rethinking what it means to be Lovecraftian.

@whilhorst.bsky.socialVan harte!
@whilhorst.bsky.socialLast weekend I celebrated my birthday and while my buddy Michael already gave me a gift he drew my favorite bestest boy Excadrill that same afternoon. It is so cool, so obviously I had to frame it for my wall.

@whilhorst.bsky.socialOMG, only very much jealous. How was the new temporary exhibit / art gallery? (and what goodies did you grab?)
@whilhorst.bsky.socialIk kan nog steeds niet een clip van "De Beer" uit Teletubbies kijken zonder fysieke rillingen over m'n rug te voelen.
@whilhorst.bsky.socialI'm in awe of Digger. Said "wait what?!" multiple times while watching. Adored the ending and its framing. It might be a tad overindulgent but my god when it hits, it hits like an oil tanker. Also the sound design of this film is astounding. A treat to see it in a cinema.
@whilhorst.bsky.socialSuch a great build so far.
@whilhorst.bsky.socialMy dilemma for today.
@whilhorst.bsky.socialWell Dweller is, Well, Amazing. Truly one of those unexpected engrossing Metroidvanias that dissects the conventions of the genre and gives it its own twist. The little tweaks made it a joy to jump back into its dour world every night. My review for @nintendonwr.bsky.social 👇
