We just released Rift Riff on Google Play and App Store, and I'm mega proud of the work the team did to get this running smoothly in #godot. The way the game has quick rounds, and how its interaction style is built, may (dare I say) even make it a better fit for phones than for desktop #mobilegaming

While everyone is visiting Trosky and Kuttenberg from KCD2, can you guess which other Czech game this location we visited today is from?

Had a great weekend with my kids in the beautiful Czech landscape - just roaming and sleeping under the stars.

🍄🕹️🔥 Two days to @amanita-design.net developers' gathering. Trying to polish and fix the current build of our new game (yes, the one you know nothing about) as much as possible - without breaking anything. Nothing can go wrong, right?

Always curious what surprises the next playtests will reveal.

We just finished playing Split Fiction. What a wild ride! Our whole family had a blast sharing the controller on the couch. The ending far exceeded my expectations and completely blew my mind. Amazing work, @hazelightgames.bsky.social!

Spent a month in medieval Bohemia—KCD2 feels that real. Thought I’d try it for a few hours, ended up finishing it after a long time. Not flawless—but that’s part of its authentic charm, just like medieval life. Great work, Warhorse team!

Announcement!

Rift Riff releases on May 9.

Steam link: store.steampowered.com/app/2800900/...

It's a tower defense game with a strategic mix of juicy tower loadouts, varied monster behaviors, and merciful mechanics. Jump a rift, fight off monsters, and plunder their world.

At the hotel breakfast, the waiter overheard our conversation, and we spent the next 10 minutes discussing Split Fiction (he’s about 2 hours behind us) and other @hazelightgames.bsky.social games. Games really are mainstream, and it’s great that co-op is too.

Our whole family is enjoying Split Fiction so much—sitting together, sharing controllers, and laughing. Pure playful joy.
