Wir wollten schon ewig einen eigenen Game Jam machen. Warum? Damit wir Abstand zu unserem aktuellen Projekt bekommen, damit wir Ideen für neue Projekte bekommen, als Training für unsere Teams und einfach weil es Spaß macht. Freitag könnt ihr dann 4 neue Tiny Spiele spielen.
Tiny Roar Game Jam week!
We're developing four prototypes over the course of just one week, and you can try them all on Friday!! 🎮✨
Can't wait to show you our daily progress on the projects 😍 what's your favorite so far?

Guess what? April 8th is Draw A Bird Day! 🐦✨ 🤗

What better reason to share some of the birds you’ll spot in Lou’s Lagoon and the concepts behind them! 😌 Hope you enjoy this little sneak peek. 🥰

Wie underappreciated sind eigentlich Marzipanfigürchen? Einfach fleischgewordener Kindheitstraum, Knete essen zu können und dann schmeckt sie auch noch bombe.

Leute, was soll ich noch unkitschiges sagen, was ich nicht schon drölfzig mal gesagt habe, wenn unser Team mal wieder einen Meilenstein erreicht?
Die größte Freude am Games entwickeln kommt dann auf, wenn man sieht wie die Arbeit von allen zusammen kommt.
🚨 The Lou’s Lagoon demo is here! 🚨😱🎉

Explore Lou’s Island, meet its warm-hearted locals, and take your first flight in Uncle Lou’s seaplane. 🛩️ 🏝️

We can’t wait to hear your thoughts—let us know what you think! 🥰

I like how the teaser starts with movie Superman's current state in the public's eye. And as soon as Krypto charges in, everything becomes bright, colorful and filled with comic accurate characters and fantastic elements. I had tears in my eyes the second Superman starts to whistle.

I just saw the #sonic3 movie together with my son, for the @dertelestammtisch.bsky.social. The review podcast (in German) will follow this week.

For all you Sonic fans out there, here are non-spoiler answers to all the big #sonic theories that are circulating the internet right now:

Our friends at Otherside Entertainment announced 'Thick as Thieves' yesterday, and I am so in love with the world and character design. Can't wait to get my loot stolen, because I am too busy looking at all the pretty stuff.

You can wishlist the game now:

Everyone keeps complaining, that our Tiny never got his own game, but now the time has finally come: he's finally here! Not in Pog form, but as a pet AND as a cosplay outfit in our game 'Into the Emberlands'!

The game is currently on sale on steam. Just saying 👉👈
Into the Emberlands update alert! 🥰✨

The Emberlands just got a little more stylish with the ✨A Knack for Fashion✨ update!

That means new skins, pets, and community items for you to unlock!

From Pet Rock 🪨 and Emberthaler 🧀 to the cute Emberchick 🐔 - which pet will you bring along? 🥰

When I met Roman almost 14 years ago, at the former company we worked at, he was one of the Art Department Leads, that focused on training and inspiring others to grow. Seeing his game releasing, after working on it for so long against all odds, is again simply inspiring. Make sure to purchase it.
⚔️ Leif's Adventure: Netherworld Hero is coming December 19 ⚔️
After more than seven years of developing this game, I am excited to announce the release on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch on December 19!
