Thanks a lot, @aktualnecz.zpravobot.news.ap.brid.gy, for having me in the Krotitelé Bossů podcast. We discussed a lot of topics, including how is the game development seen in the Czech Republic. It was great to share my opinions, in Czech.

Jana Seko, my former colleague, organized a list of people who were let go from Ashborne. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

I'd gladly speak about their passion and strengths with anyone interested in recruiting them. Feel free to reach me, and them directly, indeed, please.

🎙️Podcast #354: KCD2 a... programátoři

Pokračuju v sérii rozhovorů s vývojáři @WarhorseStudios. Po @pettka.bsky.social (mluvil o DLC Barvy smrti) jsem pozval Martina Štýse, který vede tým programátorů (je jich ~30) a současně je technický ředitel studia. Hype netřeba, velký "borec"! #modrakfriends

It's been a wild ride and a half, and here I am. I officially joined Warhorse today, and I'm looking forward to see where this rabbit (with a sword) hole goes 🥳

Český horor s nádechem Lovecrafta od @dlaha.bsky.social se pomaličku rozjíždí: „Horor ve mně dokáže vyvolat nejsilnější emoce. Nejradši mám díla, která neděsí prvoplánovými lekačkami, ale využívají atmosféru a psychologii.“ cc.cz/vyvojar-z-ol...

Feel free to check the CzechCrunch newsletter (in Czech, duh), this time including Yours truly. @mancinim.bsky.social and @payanouzova.bsky.social know how to ask the important questions and do interesting conclusions. Thanks a lot for that!

V titulcích Kingdom Come 2 nově najdete nejen Warhorse Studios, ale i brněnské vývojáře z Ashborne Games. Jak tahle spolupráce vznikla – a proč byla oboustranně výhodná? O tom nám pověděl Petr Kolář (tady na BSky jako @pettka.bsky.social, tak ho sledujte).
Síla českého rybníčku. Brněnské firmě hrozily vyhazovy, tak ji šéf z Warhorse zapojil do Kingdom Come 2
Warhorse Studios rovná se Kingdom Come, to je jasné. Teď do téhle rovnice ale přibyli Ashborne Games z Brna.

I’m proud that we can at least tease what the @ashbornegames.com team is cooking for some time already 🥳
After Last Train Home's success, we’re working on another project together with @thqnordic.com!

We're bringing new life to a beloved German classic: a simulation combining strategy, economics, and management in a medieval setting. We’ll share more info down the road, stay tuned!

I’m always proud of our @ashbornegames.com team. And we were even able to help on something bigger than usual - a DLC for #KCD2 by our friends at @warhorsestudios.bsky.social. Huge thanks for such opportunity, and kudos to the whole team 🥳

Yay, my youngling was on TV 🥳
I shared news about the project at Základní škola Liška where kids decided to craft some accessories and opened an e-shop (check their web). It got some traction and they appeared even on ČT Déčko (part of the national Czech TV): www.ceskatelevize.cz/.../1026574....

My oldest youngling (8yo) is a part of a school project where they create, describe, capture and even sell small crafts to get money for a school trip. And I'm proud as a parent that they learn such things at this early age. Feel free to check their story: www.lesniskolaliska.cz/eshop

I'm as proud of my kids as any parent could be. And I'm happy for the education that they get at Základní škola Liška - the kids there just started their own e-shop to fulfill a dream. It's clear to me that they won't get lost in the real life 🥳
