Pro tip. When choosing a name for your game. Choose something early in the alphabet, then you'll always be first in lists :) I learned after working on a game called Zombie Vikings at a studio called Zoink Games.

Happy anniversary Alwa's Awakening! It was 8 (!!) years ago we released the game and it's still going strong. On Steam the sales have been steady since since the day we released it and it keeps selling. I would love to make Alwa 3 some day.

Have you played the Alwa's Awakening?

How it is running a social media account for an indie dev studio in 2025.

So @microsoft.com wants me to enter a Customer Contact phone number for us to still have Alwa's Awakening available on Xbox One.

Can't wait for someone to call me when they get stuck on a temple somewhere in the game.

This was taken during my (late) lunch walk. Yes, it's almost dark in Sweden at 2 pm. Still beautiful.

I don't always make games but when I do, I make them in Powerpoint. Got a crazy idea to try to create a Dungeon Crawler in Powerpoint and the game loop works now. Struggling a bit to create interesting puzzles though :)

My day lights up when you find a Reddit thread like this about a game me and some friends created.

Hello! My name is Mikael. I'm not a pixel artist and I can't draw at all, but one time I spent like 60 hours making this and it just got 200 upvotes on Reddit.
