I'm super proud to reveal DrakkenRidge's launch trailer!
It's a semi-open world adventure game that will have you travel many islands, and battle your foes with magic, ranged and melee weapons.

Right in the middle of QA! If everything goes to plan, in less than a month, on September 4th, you'll be able to play Drakkenridge.

And if you are interested by a 10% discount, well, the game is available for pre-order ;)

We are playing Drakkenridge right now - it's our biggest game yet - and we want a bit more time to polish the game :) Now coming out in early September 2025!

Please share and help spread-out :)
A preview of our "main" island... While there will be many "main quests" reasons to be there, hopefully you'll want to stay a little, touch some grass, and enjoy some fun side-quests as well...

As I'm wrapping up our latest game, Drakkenridge, I'm wondering what type of market our game is going to hit when it releases later this year.
So it's as good a time as ever to look back at what brought me to VR in the first place ...
Let me know your thoughts,

I haven't posted regularly because we are on the verge of being done with the "creation" part, and about to start the "tuning" part - expect an onslaught of content then :)
An (incomplete) preview of the player arsenal (missing 2 bows)...

With more than 90% of the content done, I'm finally able to finish all the island minimaps: displayed on the player grimoire they feature major landmarks, quests or zones of interest.
I can now experience Drakkenridge as a whole, and hopefully soon, you too!

One thing can be heart-breaking when you are a dev: content you made that needs to be cut out, because of time left, because you can't fit it in the "polish loop", because it's "unfocused"...Bye bye Ork Island, maybe see you as an expansion?

We were invited to a video call about DrakkenRidge, showed some work in progress, talked World of Warcraft, quest design, level design, business, game culture, etc...

If you want to listen to a bunch of dudes talk about Indie video games over 2 hours>

Some dungeons are designed for you to look up :) It would be a shame not to, in VR the sense of scale is impressive! (in magenta, the player, for scale)

A fun part when doing a dungeon kit, is to use it in a "pristine" state, but also in a "completely ruined" way ... it allows visual diversity in the dungeon, make it feel "lived-in", and it's just generally fun to set-dress :) (dungeon still mostly untextured)
