Another one for the "games made by madmen" trend, here's PVKK: Planeten... whatever.
Looks really cool, basically a cockpit simulator style thing where you control a defense platform for fighting off invading ships. Looks like there's a lot of cool stuff to fiddle with in your hub area. Very much looks like a Grogs approved game!

Description from the devs on Twitter:
"The game comes from a love of pressing satisfying buttons and a fascination of old cockpits.
Mix that with a bit of escape room and "Papers, Please" and you got PVKK.
At the core of the game is shooting down invading space ships. You make tactical decisions and execute detection, shot and energy procedures like a pro."
Looks...interesting. Thx
Yeah this is off the planet crazy stuff. I love it. Very dystopian. Makes me think of some forgotten hold out years after a war has been over, still fighting, still lapping it up.
Still not out, but Devlog #1 is up.

Surprised Hooded Horse or Microprose didn't gobble this one up.
Speaking a language that has words like "Planetenverteidigungskanonenkommandant" makes me wonder if the Germans even attempt to play Scrabble

How can you say all that without taking a breath in the middle? :grin:
At least another year to wait for this one.

That battlestation they set up at Gamescon looks incredible.

It looks stylistically very cool. Not sure on gameplay - but it does look shweet.
Delayed until 2027. :sad:
In the race between this and Iron Nest WHO WINS!?
(....probably Iron Nest, technically, since it can walk. :atat: )
