Help us out!

Doing a Nordic Game talk: "what NOT to do, to survive as a IndieDev".

Covering topics like: "DON'T create your own engine", "DON'T innovate!" and "DON'T keep you IP".

Would love more ideas for topics to cover!

Will reward with totally unrelated silly talk photos!

DLSS-5’ing Gerda a Flame in Winter destroys the distinct visual style. Resembling our demo art-style experiments (see screenshots).

DLSS5’s biggest potential is trading in any unique styling for increased fidelity…

Working on a new game.

Still very early in the process, but we believe we might be onto something, in regards to the gameplay-audio design combo...

What do you think?

It's been long enough since Gerda: A Flame in Winter released; time to unleash upon the web all the awful behind-the-scenes glitches and bloopers. Should we make it a weekly thing? Dunno 🤷🏽‍♀️ But let's start us off easy: with an endless loop of your favorite characters dying 💀😍

Det er på tide, at DK får en national handlingsplan for spiludvikling foreslår @Producentfor til kulturminister @engelschmidt. Vi skal modernisere kulturpolitikken og sikre høj kvalitet i udbuddet af spil. Den danske spilbranche står klar! #dkgame #dkpol https://t.co/9PDb6xHsqG

For Gerda, the Vestergaard mansion has always been her best friend's house, a place full of good memories. Today she has to put those aside and sneak around to find something that might help free Anders.

Gerda makes you feel in control yet powerless, in one of the best uses of RPG-lite mechanics yet.
