Many of you have been asking for this one; we're happy to say the cameras continued to roll here at the studio during Keeper's development. Come see how this very special game came to be, from the team themselves! 😊

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

We've just finished our first game jam using #Godot (the #GMTK2025)! 🥳
Even if we struggled a bit (as expected with new tools), I'm super impressed with all the features we packed into this game in 4 days.
Super proud of the team! 🥰

"Art's definition of success is more related to social impact rather than money."
i posted “Why making art matters: We no longer have a type of industry where we can chase financial success. We can only sustainably fail.” to @itch.io too!
it’s already got a few thoughtful comments 😌💕
