It's this time of the year again!

I've survived;
Worked on 3 games at my game studio;
Showcased one of them at Gamescom;
Another one got 2nd place in Narrative out of 10.000 games at a gamejam;
And, a crazy reveal: we're co-founding a publishing house next year! 🎉

More news soon.

Happy holidays!

Completed 1000xRESIST...
And it's retrospectively my GOTY 2024.

It's that good!

Never ever I've seen such good and meaningful dialogues in any other game, and never I've seen so many breathtakingly choreographed scenes.

CINEM - no, even ABSOLUTE THEATER.

Played a couple of games yesterday, and...

Well, the fact that a hardly known knowledge-based exploration game from a solo dev brought me fare more joy and cool moments than Expedition 33 probably says a lot about my perverted taste in games :D

Hey, so, we released OST+ for Robot Detour!

Tbh it's just for those who want to give us extra money; but it's also "OST+" for a reason:

- all tracks from the game (incl. that one eurobeat song!)
- tracks from gamejam version
- two bonus unreleased tracks

So, “Order of the Sinking Star” by Thekla was just announced, which takes several small free games (two of which are mine) and gives them a major graphical upgrade and mashes up their rulesets. I haven’t been very involved but it’s a great concept and looks cool.

🥁 About a month ago I asked how are y'all managing your sound effect archive...
🎺 And today I'm sharing SLAMY with the world!

It's a super-simple sound library manager w/ built-in mixer for quick edits. It's a great help for me, and maybe for you too?

The best (in my books) part of this trailer is the fact that we're now working together with @alecshea.com!

We've searched for weeks for a perfect Teacher's voice, and I think we've found it.

Super happy to work with Alec! Expect a full English narration in the final game :)
New Burn With Me trailer!!!

It's such a joy to work on this game! Pure happiness from growing together with the game.
Each month it looks and feels better and better, and, what can I say, I just can't wait to show even more — when it's time.
