Here are some impressions of our visit at the Gamescom two weeks ago. We definitely had a lot of fun, good conversations and a great time trying out new games! 🎮💚
Temporary or permanent exclusivity, one thing’s for sure: When you get the Season, the games are yours.
Play them on Playtiles, or export the ROMs to use on your favorite emulator or flash cart, it’s your call.
🎮 Grab Season 1: get.playtil.es
The best puzzle games are like magic! They use misdirection…and sometimes make us feel like fools.

Retro-inspirierte Pixelgrafik zum Spiel „Waters of Sal Naména“ von Distant Meadows. In grüner Gameboy-Ästhetik zeigt die Grafik eine meditative Szene mit einem sitzenden Charakter auf einer Wasserfläche. Der Spieletitel und „A Game by Distant Meadows“ sind in verschnörkelter Pixel-Schrift zu sehen. Unten steht: „Play me at Hall 04.1 | Booth C057“ und es ist das Label „We leveled up!“ von Games/Bavaria abgebildet.
🎮 Games/Bavaria @ gamescom 2025
At the Games/Bavaria booth in the Business Area (Hall 4.1, C057), we'll show 4 titles from our LEVEL UP accelerator. The last one:
🌊 Waters of Sal Naména by @distantmeadows.bsky.social
A Game Boy-style Metroidbrainia in a desert world full of secrets & puzzles.
🏜️🧭
On this Sunday we want to #showcase a great partner of ours: Games Bavaria supports a lot of Bavarian games studios with networking events and other great advice, especially with the Level Up Accelerator Program we participated in. Us showcasing at GG Bavaria and gamescom? Thanks to them! 🤩
Values such as diversity, anti-discrimination and a harassment-free work environment are still not as self-explanatory as we would wish them to be. That's why we put our name on the list of the initiative hier-spielt-vielfalt.de. Showing colors is becoming more important every day in these times. 🏳️🌈🎮
Morgen ist es soweit ich freue mich schon auf euch.
We got so much nice feedback from our booth visitors when we exhibited Waters of Sal Naména for the first time at the GG Bavaria in Munich. 😊 We wanna share some more quotes with you! 💚 #feedbackfriday
Today's #ShowcaseSunday: the unusual job simulator game "That's not my Neighbor". It combines the popular gameplay concept of Lucas Pope's "Papers, Please" (2013) with humor, horror and bizarre aesthetics and was entirely developed in Godot 4.

It's #TreasureTuesday and today's pick is one of Programmer Michelle's favourite game series: Portal - the iconic puzzle and platform games with one of the best antagonists ever. Have you played it?

Featuring this #ShowcaseSunday: Our main co-working tool Nextcloud! We built our own custom workshop aided by the integrated app store: messenger, mail, tasks, video calls, calender, contacts, files and many more. And ofc: It's all open source! We love our cloud! 🥰

Blue Ocean Games wrapped up its Rising Tide Challenge: We weren't chosen as one of the winners, but we placed in the top quarter and we're pretty happy with that result for there were some pretty awesome entries. 🥰 We are eager to compete again with a better trailer and rank even higher next time!
