Join me at Sweden Game Conference and GameCity Festival where I will be showing Akuto: Mad World. This will be the first time I will be showing the brand new levels to the public. Sweden Game Conference is being held from October 20 until October 23 in Skövde, and GameCity Festival is being held from October 26 until October 29 in Nottingham. The game is being shown all around Nottingham’s Creative Quarter, which is adjacent to the National Videogame Arcade.
This was announced last week, but I never noticed that Retool was selected. But hey, better later than never to notice it. Nevertheless, Retool was selected as a finalist in the puzzle category for the TIGA Awards 2016. This is a proud moment in my relatively short gamedev career.
Last week, I went to Busan (South Korea) to show Akuto: Mad World at BIC Fest. It was a very good experience, but also a very surreal one.
Akuto: Mad World has been selected as one of the games for the game expo at BICFest (Busan Indie Connect Festival). You can join me there and play the game between September 9 and September 11 2016 in Busan, South Korea. Yes, you read that right. Akuto has gone international! From Vienna to Busan to who knows where next. You can find out more information about BICFest here.
I recently bought Space Engineers and tried it out for the first time today. Here is what happened in my first 90 minutes.

Radius Festival 2016 Game Jam
I think this is the first game jam I participated in this year. As always, I had enjoyed my time and it allowed me to create a game from scratch within 72 hours.
For Radius Festival 2016 game jam, I created a game called ‘No Connection: Don’t Be Late’. No Connection: Don’t Be Late is a game about Mr. Rabbit, who missed his connection train and his wife is about to give birth. Now, he must steal and race vehicles to get back home in time to witness the birth of his child.
You can download and play the game via itch.io.

Progress Update On Akuto: Mad World
Changed the camera (back) to isometric. Gives the level a ‘diorama’ feel. Also, a lot of other small changes/updates, such as bullet deflection and weapon throwing.
Akuto: Mad World will be playable for the first time at Radius Festival in Vienna, Austria. Come join me there and become one of the first people to play the game. Maybe there will be prizes there as well. Just maybe. There will be different games being exhibited every day, and Akuto will be playable on Sunday July 24, 2016. You can find out more information about Radius Festival here.
