Gamedev hotline? Yes, hello, I have a bug here, it happened when I was loading some assets into a new scene... Yes, I'm sending the screenshot, just one sec...

Sorry? What do you mean "just leave it like that"?

The Many Sins of House Ocampo soundtrack is going to kick so much ass, you have no idea.

I'm only using this stuff for a 2-minute cutscene, but it's so refreshing to get to play some sick slide guitar licks again after years of making only ambient and atmospheric stuff 🤘🏻

Aaaand the winner of the 2025 Nobel Prize of Literature is... László Krasznahorkai! Yay uncle K ❤️

"for his compelling and visionary œuvre that, in the midst of apocalyptic terror, reaffirms the power of art"

Absolutely deserved.

I don't think I've ever read an intro that made me want to jump into a book RIGHT NOW so badly.

Yesterday it was nice and sunny so I thought it would be warm enough to sit outside and read for a bit, with a Baileys-spiked coffee for good measure. Big mistake 💀 Froze my ass off and couldn't even focus on reading.

At least the coffee was great though!

This is happening! Or... something is happening, at the very least.

We still have to create sooooo many assets, so this is not going to be a fast process. But still, I'm confident that we're going to make it before the end of the year.

Be excited! Be, be excited! 🤸🏻

Incredibly rare charity shop find, 2,50€ for the Pessoa and 2€ for the Baricco! 😱

Fun fact, I ripped off a full chapter of Oceano Mare for a scene in The Many Sins of House Ocampo 😁 "Good artists copy, great artists steal", right?

Guess what I've been working on for the last couple of weeks 🎬

Before coding a single line, we always sketch things out the classic way - pen and paper.

It's funny now to recall Dr Samuels' discarded morgue stage, or the balcony that Lady Winterbourne never got.

But in the end, the best ideas are the ones that survive... I hope!

I went to my favourite Berlin museum to spend the afternoon and OMG THEY WERE PLAYING MAYA DEREN'S "MESHES OF THE AFTERNOON". I'd never watched it on a large screen before! I can't believe I got this lucky 🖤

32°C today, 35°C tomorrow. No place better to be right now than here 🪦 Cheers!

- Had a croissant + espresso for breakfast
- Bought an amazing baguette
- Watched Godard's "Pierrot le fou"
- Worked on our game for 3 hours
- Read Thomas Bernhard's "Wittgenstein's Nephew" while listening to Oscar Peterson

What a day! And I still have time for a horror movie!

The "problem" with our pixel art is that it's too dark and too detailed, so it's easy to scroll by if you're on your phone and looking for big, eye-catching, colourful shapes.

But stop for a second and zoom in, and you'll gasp at the insane amount of work Thomas has put in here.

Nice reviews always make us feel warm and fuzzy inside, but nothing can compare to the feeling when someone just GETS it.

It's hard to believe that 4 years later, our little game is still touching people's hearts...

(and reviews like these still touch ours 🥹)

I replaced my old drugstore notebook with a tiny Moleskine 💅🏻 This will *surely* take my writing for House Ocampo to the next level, right?
