SACRED 2 Remaster is so close to launch!
To kick things off, we sat down for a gameplay session with Franz Stradal (yes, that Franz) and Elham.
It’s cozy, honest, and full of tiny bits of SACRED history that only Franz could tell.

We’re excited to share that Gentleland is partnering with Bold Beetle Games on their upcoming Kickstarter for Dung Slinger. 🪲💩
It’s a quirky physics-platformer about a beetle chained to a ball of dung!

It's about time we pitch our game: Dung Slinger is a physics platformer in which you are chained to a giant ball of sh*t.
While it isn't a Metroidvania, it is basically the unofficial Dung Defender Spin-Off you never knew you wanted #PitchYaVania

Whoever shouts the loudest or disrupts the most, often wins.
But there’s a shift happening, and game developers need to pay attention.

When creating social media content for your game.. it doesn't have to be filled with heavy calls to action that scream "BUY".
It's often better if you create something that can inspire and entertain.

The problem for most game devs to create social media content is not... that you have no content ideas or you don't know what to create.
The problem is that you don't have a strategy or system for coming up with content ideas.
