The release is now available on the main F-Droid repository.

I've just released version 1.1-rc1 of #FDroidClassic 🎉

The following changes are included from the last beta:

* Add option to only load screenshots on demand
* Fix screenshot placeholder image not being visible when using light theme
* Fix annoying downloader crash, again (#52)
* Remove ACCESS_WIFI_STATE permission
* Dependency and translation updates

If you are using a microG system installation and haven't done so yet, it's recommended to upgrade this to version v0.2.17. You'll get the new ID reporting screen as well as a few stability fixes.

You'll probably have to do that manually by opening https://f-droid.org/app/com.google.android.gms in F-Droid, expanding the version section and selecting 0.2.17.

Signal: Server-Sourcecode auf GitHub älter als 9 Monate

https://www.kuketz-blog.de/signal-server-sourcecode-auf-github-aelter-als-9-monate/

The source code to this game was published not too long ago: https://github.com/TerryCavanagh/vvvvvv

Not under a free license but it's actually still being worked on there, with community involvement.

11 years after initial release that is quite impressive. (For any software project really, but especially for an indie game.)

Next version should be out soon it ssems: https://github.com/TerryCavanagh/VVVVVV/issues/267

- DEFENDER'S QUEST -

This is IMO one of the best tower defence games I've ever played. The original version is from 2012 but it got remastered in 2016.

Apart from really decent TD mechanics, Defender's Quest actually features a great story. All of your different "towers" are character from your party who all have quirky and lovable personalities. Your characters also level up and you can buy equipment for them etc.

I wonder will I ever clear all the #StreetComplete quests... They keep adding new ones.... #xp

FYI, https://easterneuropeanmovies.com/ is a thing that exists.

Let's start with my absolutely favorite game from last year:

Return of the Obra Dinn

Screenshots don't really do the game justice (it looks way better in motion and the aesthetics fit the game quite well). And who'd have thought it would be fun playing an insurance investigator 🙃.

You are trying to figure out what the hell happened to 60 crew members through a whole lot of flashbacks through the story of the Obra Dinn. There'll be a lot of surprises along the way.

I occasionally get asked "What games do you play/enjoy?" and I never know what to reply in those moments. I also often play games not many people may have heard of. So I thought I'll try to document the games I enjoy here. Maybe some people will find some inspiration here as well 🙂.

I'll need a better avatar, but this'll do for now! 🎉
