And BTW we just did a "stealth" re-release of Stellar Commanders out of Apple Arcade, which means it's now available on Android, iOS and Steam (and we killed the AppleTV version 🙈 ).
It's free-to-play now with an optional subscription if you want all units. Apparently it's so stealth that not even our marketing people realised they maybe should put links on the homepage...

"Kohlrabi Starship" with @swissgames 🚀

Im Internet Archive lagern Sachen von mir, die ich längst vergessen hatte. „Maverick“ zum Beispiel, ein vor über 15 Jahren programmiertes kleines Game mit Sounds aus einer Improvisation meiner Band mit dem Titel „In Spain“. Auch wenn die zugrundeliegende Flash-Technologie längst in Frieden ruht: Knobelfreundinnen und -freunde werden sich die Hände (und die Augen) reiben.
It's Swiss National Day, so here's a thread about the history of #SwissGames.
With a few exceptions, the first computer games from Switzerland were developed in the late 80s. Titles such as the unfortunately-named Ball Raider for platforms such as Amiga, Atari and the indigenous Smaky.
This is from 1997: a tennis game, in virtual reality, played online, with motion capture https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mQVnnROfcU #SwissGames @chludens #Retrocomputing #VirtualReality
I keep forgetting to announce discounts for Kandria here, because I'm stupid as fuck, but it's currently 30% off, which I think is the record low?
