This weekend is Halloween, and we found it to be an appropriate theme for our latest update. We’re still full of ideas for Renowned Explorers so we’re trying different approaches for each update. This one is all about the mysterious and spooky legends around Halloween. For that reason we won’t tell you exactly what we […]

How is it that in two days time we created four games, while Reus is already taking more than a year? Last week we threw our time-consuming aims of polish and quality temporarily out of the window and hosted the Abbey Jam. The Abbey Jam is meant as a creative burst where everyone who normally […]

Indigo is the Dutch game festival which runs this Friday and Saturday. We are invited to show Reus and it will be the first time that we’re showing Reus to the public, consisting of you and everyone else that wants to see it. You can imagine our excitement/nervousness.

Even though Reus features enormous giants, we can summarize it on a single sheet of A4 paper. Shrunken Abbey developers explain:

As you know Abbey’s monastic order works hard on Reus, our god game in the making. Through the week we dress appropriately to our devoted work: robes and hoods and that sort of stuff. Today however, it is casual Friday, possibly followed by a casual Monday next week. You can find Jacco, Bas, Dennis, Adriaan, […]

Dear friends and followers, we are proud to tell you that today we oficially announce our debut game: Reus. Many people have already played our previous game: Tinytanic, which we made in a week, but Reus is something entirely different. It is our big passion project we have been working on for little over 8 months in […]
