Art – The Evolution!

Being the only nun here, at the Abbey, I thought it sure would be fun to write something about the art of our game. After all, every girl loves to make things pretty and every guy likes to watch pretty … things, so that’s a win-win right there! Reus was running for a while before […]

The Road to Reus

I don’t know if it was something boiling in my heart for a longer time, or if it was inspiration that struck while watching this video, but Reus is a game that had to be made. It went with lots of ups and downs, so making it happen was, and still is, a crazy ride. […]

Theme is everything!

Ever looked at someone playing a game, and thought:”What could possibly be fun about that?” It could be a game that hardcore gamers seem to have a grudge against, like football managers or a horse game. If you’re more of a casual gamer, you’re more likely to say this about hardcore games like Civilization, Call […]

So we’re back

We’re back in hardcore development for a week now. Gamescom strengthened us in our belief that people are interested in liking our game. Bas, Maarten and I ran around in the business and entertainment area for three full days to tell as many people as possible about our game.

Going to Gamescom

This week large parts of the game industry put their eyes on GDC Europe and the Gamescom, both taking place in Köln, Germany. We thought: a good place to distribute our brand new business cards :). We decided that Gamescom should be the first conference we go to as a company. Mainly because there are so […]

The business card trading card game

We will be attending gamescom 2012! We won’t be having a booth, we’re mainly going there for business. I figured that we needed business cards, so I made some. I thought it would be fun for our business cards to represent a game. And by represent a game, I mean *be* a game.
