Kollafoss Game Farm @kollafoss@mastodon.gamedev.place

Slowly disassembling my office with heavy heart at the farm and moving it to Reykjavík. Yes you heard it right. In the near future I will not have the farm as a physical space. Kollafoss Games on the other hand will live on in one way or another.

I (Esi) have relocated somewhat to Reykjavík so the farm is in a bit of a hiatus. We are still renting it so we do have access to it but the farm side of things is on a bit of a hiatus. In good news though, I (Esi) have an office in Reykjavík/Seltjarnarnes now! https://merveilles.town/@esi/108856139974922477

Lambing season is starting on the neighbouring farm so we went over for a visit.

A reminder, Subpixel did an amazing documentary about our humble Isolation Jam up here in the north of Iceland. It has some great interviews with great game makers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRnMK2wzM20

Summer is here (relatively speaking).

Observing the damage in our valley from yesterday

The river decided to free itself from its frozen shackles today also.

...aaaand there goes the only road to our place. I guess we'll be staying home tonight.

So, a river/stream near the farm just got blocked by an ice dam. It got diverted straight to our house. Thankfully, we managed to dig a channel so no major damage, and the water is receding.

Note that this account will mostly post updates regarding the actual gamedev studio and events related to Kollafoss Game Farm. If you want more personal posts you can follow my own account at @esi :)

I ( main account at @esi ) am planning to start keeping an eye on this account and this instance at mastodon.gamedev.place more after quite a downtime. Is anything fun happening here on this awesome instance now a days? Who to follow? Fun hashtags?

@SubpixelTeam (at birdsite)
made this amazing 30 minute documentary about our Isolation Jam! Captures the essence of the event perfectly! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRnMK2wzM20&feature=youtu.be

I am terribly sad to announce that the Isolation Jam will not be held this year, 2020, because of health reasons. I feel like I could not ensure a properly planned and managed game jam because of my current health problems and therefor had to take this difficult decision. On the flipside, this will allow me a faster recovery, and the ability to make Isolation Jam 2021 unforgettable!

See you all next year

We had a real gameboy game made at #IsolationJam 2019. Yes, you heard me right. And guess what, it has sheep!
