Post game jam hype is pre game jam hype. Looking forward to #NordicGameJam in #kopenhagen . Had a blast with #ggj2026 . Wondering if I will be permanently banned from entering the banana republic if I continue to make games like #HashtagLove and #fruitopia
Also here is Bruno Figser from FigsNews

My final post on #hashtaglove , my #indiedev project from #ggj25 . Despite the #ctrl+alt+disinfo jam being cancelled, I enjoyed to continue, which is even more important as powers are taking hold that do actually want to spread more #disinformation.

reworking the avatar mechanic in HashtagLove.
Players should be able to not only choose their handle, but also have a small choice of more diverse base characters to select from. This will be available for BGF

I went solo at #GGJ25 and built HashtagLove, a game about social media bubbles and how algorithms shape our world. 🚀

One highlight? Crowdsourcing tweet content from other jammers! Some contributed, but I still had to rely on ChatGPT in the end. Next time, I’d love to involve the community even more.
