My website is back up and revamped with an overview of projects I'm working on, and (ir)regular blogposts! If you have ever needed an excuse to ping me about anything (un)related to production or management in the creative industry, there's plenty here!

I have three stages:
1. I can do EVERYTHING
2. I can do NOTHING
3. I'm tired ...
My current stage is number 3, which is also my favorite. It allows me to think somewhat clearly.
A little energy to go along with that would be nice, though.

Also, I’m playing Metroid Prime on the train today and what even is this timeline?!
My 15-year old self would not have believed this to be possible (but would have given one testicle to make it happen)

She finished it by beating the final boss on 80% completion today and I am beyond proud!

Tomorrow I am giving a presentation on what I learned by looking at the 417 indie games that earned over 1000 reviews. Here is an important slide finding that Cat games GREATLY overperformed dog games.

Cancer sucks.
It is a horrible monster.
Of course, I am relieved that I got rid of it in a physical sense. But I’m often worried I’ll never be done with it completely; mentally, let alone socially.
The cruelest thing is, I probably won’t be done with it. No-one, really, ever

I have no end-of-year reviews, no gratitude reports (but thanks y’all), no nothing…
My resolution for 2023 is to do less, so I have more time to think, talk and write about what I’m actually doing.
See you next year

Excited to announce our new game set in the universe of Suzerain! We found a very unique concept we hope to develop as an entertainment experience with a unique mix of features but also as an art piece depicting how political movements form and society changes from the bottom up.
Quote Tweet
We recently revealed our next project to some of the most dedicated members of the community: The Conformist is a narrative game in which the player guides Orwin (a propagandist working for the government of Sordland) in an attempt to discover his own path in the capital.

Yesterday I moved house... or at least out of my house. For the foreseeable future, I will be roaming around, with no place of my own to fall back on. This feels scary and weird, but also exciting.

Is there a newsletter for tax payers? Like a newsletter for kickstarter backers, I mean, but then for the biggest crowd-funded project of our time…
I’d love a monthly update!
Bad idea? Why?
Good idea? Why isn’t it there yet?

Let’s try and get as many eyeballs on this as possible. If needed, I’ll throw in some free business advice as well.

Sunday thoughts about how to help starting developers with legal. Especially in case of founders that are female, non-binary, poc, etc. Would love to coach them or to be there to answer questions questions for free. Any suggestion on how to reach out and spread this message?

I've been playing #Splatoon3 for a couple of weeks now and I'm LOVING IT. Gameplay is super tight, the style of it works great and it even includes some smart social commentary on climate change, capitalism and working culture... and a ton of fish-puns. What else can I ask for?

I probably still forget a dozen or more... but then I'll just add them later. One of the great advantages of the internet ;)
