Wishlist Burn With Me! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2954010
Never explicitly said it, but we'll most likely make small Steam release of Love Letters as next project!

That might take a while (we once tried making 2 games at once and failed spectacularly), so please wait a bit 🙏

On the upside it will be a Florence-sized game, hopefully 3-4 month of dev time.

Let's go?

Didn't tell too much about the DevGAMM, mainly because I wasn't there personally (cruel world where I still need to have full-time job...)

Eva pitched our game from the stage, and showcased the game with another team member.

Was fun! At least from what I've heard and seen :)

50.000 people played Love Letters! 😱

I'm afraid I'll be forever cursed with some of the new prototypes be more popular than anything I've ever done, including "current big project"

...on the other hand, it's not the worst curse to have

We also have a couple of things planned for the game!

- Console ports first half of next year (collab with @mameshibagames.com)
- DLC with game's OST. Including remastered music from jam version, and a couple of secret tracks 👀

Thanks everyone for sticking with us! 💚

store.steampowered.com/app/2666840/...

It's on -50% sale for a week (just 3 bucks), you literally have no excuse to try this game.

It's short (~3 hours) and inventive!
1 year in and we're still at 100% positive 💚

Thank you for stopping by our DevGAMM booth!

Tbh these are probably our best business cards yet, will be hard to top this any time soon.

a.k.a the most beautiful place I've ever been too...

"We" as in "people from our team"!

I'm personally still working from home and silently envy them.
November 6, 2025 at 10:46 AM
We're showcasing at @devgamm.bsky.social in Lisbon now!

Also Eva is pitching the game from stage in the evening, will be fun ✨

A halloween treat...

(we're working on Burn With Me, I promise)

Autumn is indeed very good.

Small teaser.

First chapter of Burn With Me.

This year.

Preparing business cards for upcoming events: 4 (picked out of random) for players, and 2 personal for me and Eva.

Couldn't resist the concept of business cards looking like a card from the game 😅

And you bet I've also upgraded my ID card at work 😌

Decided I'm no longer afraid to be happy and a little whimsical.
October 7, 2025 at 3:16 PM
Itchio was the last platform I thought I'd ever get 1000 followers on, but here we are!

Feeling happy from all the people waiting for more browser games from our team. Also feeling a tremendous power in my hands, which I won't be afraid to use.

...by making more games, most likely.

Finally free from Silksong!
...although probably my mind will still be in Pharloom for the next several weeks.

Such a genius, rewarding game. My unreasonably high expectations were blown out of the water in the first hours of playing, and game somehow grew cooler and cooler until the very end.
Man.

CITY the Animation has fully aired!

Can't wait for come back home and watch the whole thing 💚

Small trivia: 7 years ago I was leading an unofficial translation of CITY manga to Russian, even ahead of English version :)

Happy to finally see the series getting more love!

Sorry for no posts lately, I'm slowly soothing my soul in Japan

Another "cool number" was 100,000 total launches of our games on itchio!

They don't give a nice table with web launches, but I can show you all the remaining data :)

3 years ago I didn't even consider I'd return to gamedev, and now so many people people play and love my games. Bonkers.
September 11, 2025 at 3:16 PM
Everybody loves cool numbers, and I'm not an exception.

Love Letters reached 30,000 players!!

This tiny feel-good narrative experience has by far the biggest amount of players, comments and reviews we had. Thank you everyone who played our cute game!

Hope to work on a full version in the future 💚
