- SPRING UPDATE 2026 - 11 June 2026
Hello World!We're sending Spring greetings from Nuremberg, where we're continuing to work on PRG at full speed. We can’t name a precise release date yet, unfortunately. It is our first project and we’re ultimately still noobs at planning a project like this one. What we can promise you though, is that this is really the final stretch and will not spiral into an out of control development with a release years later than planned. 5 scenes + ending cutscenes are still on our to-do list before we move on to voice overs and playtesting (get in touch if you want to be part of that process). We've also finished designing the (promised) fourth ending, which we obviously can’t talk about... What we're happy to talk about, though: Does anyone remember the stretch goal with the side quests for the three main characters? Well, we went through our old ideas, but one of them really sank its teeth in…
- 🚀 First Update of the year! 🚀 - 16 February 2026
Good morning everyone! (please adjust to your own timezone 🤓🕰️)Considering that there might be a huge early access scandal 👮 out and about in the gaming world at the moment, it's probably about time we give you another update on our game. The good news is: We're not running away with your cash and we will definitely not be running out of it. 💰 And while we don't feel comfortable giving exact dates just yet, we can confidently say that as long as we don't break all 4 arms we have (combined, silly! 🐙) multiple times, the game will definitely launch this year!🚀🧨🎇 Once we've finished up the last few scenes which we are currently working on, we will record all of the characters and have an extended playtest phase while we finish up the closing cutscenes. 🎙️🎬 We want to let you all know, that thanks to all of you trusting us with your investments, we're really motivated to make this…
- WINTER UPDATE 2026 - 28 December 2025
Hello dear Adventurers!! 👋Before we get into our little End of the year Update, let’s take a quick moment to acknowledge what an unbelievable year it has been in regards to adventure game releases. 🏆 We’ve been playing as much of those masterpieces as we can, while finishing up PRG! But seeing next year is going to be our 🚀release🚀 year: on to the dev update! Right now we are finishing off the last few animations and backgrounds of the biggest chunk of our game. After that we will get onto the last sequences of the game. The big showdown if you like. We added in some day and night time changes to a few scenes, and most of the content we were able to revive thanks to the kickstarter stretch goals is done too. After we finish the final sequences we will get into voice over recording in German and English. 🇬🇧🇩🇪We’d love to show you more, but are slowly but surely entering spoiler t…
- Kickstarter successful! All stretch goals hit! - 5 June 2025
Kickstarter successful! All stretch goals hit! So we did it!! Oh well, actually YOU did it! Our very first Kickstarter campaign has come to an end crushing all of the stretch goals. 🎉🍻🍾From the bottom of our hearts: Thank you so so so much for making this possible. 🙏🏾🫶🏾🙌🏾Not only is the funding of our voice over work secured, but thanks to the success of this campaign, we didn't have to cut back on any plans we had regarding our story. This will be really awesome for the game. Especially with so much uncertainty and jeopardy regarding in the markets we really don't take your investments in our project for granted and will make sure, every second we work on PRG, that your trust in us will pay off. On that you have our word. 🫱🏿🫲🏻The stretch goals made possible:Our story features a few flashbacks in time. With this stretch goal we will make those flashbacks playable instead o…
- PRESIDENT ROCKET GAME FULLY FUNDED ON KICKSTARTER! - 4 April 2025
Dear Point and Clickers! Our Kickstarter Campaign is live and already smashed the funding- and the first Stretch Goal! We've completed more than 2/3 of all of our assets and animations, and are set to be asset complete roughly by October 25 if nothing dramatic happens or goes very wrong along the way. While our DIY journey has taken us quite far with this project, we do realize that we need to hire some professional voice actors for our main characters at this point. Luckily we had some friends who act come in and help us out on alot of the characters of the first chapter, and Tilly does quite alot of voices, but an eight to ten hour long game deserves characters that feel and therefore sound unique. That is why we need to secure additional funding in this kickstarter campaign. We’re more than grateful we were able to reach our goal so fast, thanks to YOU - the amazing adventure game co…
- March 25 Update - 10 March 2025
Hello everyone! Today, we’d like to give you a sneak peek at some of the ways you can leave your mark on our game world when our Kickstarter campaign launches on March 26th. “26th?? Didn’t they plan to launch the Kickstarter on March 12th?” Yes we did. But unfortunately the flu really wiped out our schedule for over a week and we still need to finish our video for the campaign. But we’re back on track! Now lets move on to the rewards… Many of these rewards aren’t just part of the different pledge tiers - they can also be added as flexible add-ons. We’re sure there’s something for everyone who wants to be part of President Rocket Game! Let’s start with one of the most exclusive (and unique) rewards: the statue of the Naked Golfer, located in the backroom of a lively punk bar in Frankenstein. How it got there remains a mystery, but we’d be happy to customize it with your preferred plaque…
- December Update - 12 December 2024
The time has come – we're making it OFFICIAL! The Kickstarter campaign for President Rocket Game will go live on March 12, 2025! The exact launch time will be announced soon. If you don’t want to miss the big moment, make sure to follow us HERE ON THE KICKSTARTER PAGE! Why is this important? We’re kicking things off with limited Early Bird prices, which include not only a game key but also our Standard Big Game Box (with more exciting content inside). Additionally, some exclusive rewards and add-ons will be limited, so it’s definitely worth being there at launch! Rest assured we've got a rocket's payload full of creative and fun ways to immortalize yourself and your loved ones in our gameworld. In the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing teasers about the campaign bit by bit. Got questions? Feel free to reach out! Development wise we've almost wrapped up the artwork and animations for Eberman…
- September Update - 26 September 2024
Hello everyone! We're back from our summer vacation as motivated as ever and are looking forward to the coming months ahead of us (apart from the weather...). As already announced (and this time there's no turning back), we're going to launch our Kickstarter campaign. Hooray! We're already in the middle of preparing for it and will be dropping a few details about the content of the campaign from time to time over the next few weeks. Let's start today! And of course with the most important question of all: WHAT’S THE DATE!? Well, it's not 100% certain yet and we'll be honest: we still have to clarify a few tax issues to see if it wouldn't be smarter to postpone the start of the campaign until early 2025 as that’s the year we will be doing most of the spending. We'll know more in a couple weeks and then you'll all be informed about the final start date. Until then, we will provide you wit…
- July Update - 26 July 2024
Team Point and Click, how’s everyone doing? This month we’ve got a few short updates for you. The most important one is that we’re actually pretty in time this year with getting our assets ready and building the final art of the game world. We’re quite sure that some form of delay’s probably waiting just around the corner though but lets cherish the moment! We will be announcing the date for our kickstarter soonish! We’ve got all sorts of great goodies lined up and can’t wait to share them with you. Once we’ve got everything ready we will FINALLY be able to greenlight that. We know some people have really been itching for those rewards, which makes us reeeeally really grateful! Just a wee more time. As we’ve been warning everyone: Our long demo is now offline and we’ve exchanged it for a short one. You have about 30 minutes of gameplay to get a feel for everything, but as the first few…
- June Update - 7 June 2024
June 24 Clickin’ and pointin’ friends! It's time to give you a new update and how things are going on the development side! First of all: Our demo is going to be taken offline very soon. We’ve reworked quite a bit of that part of the game and added some quality of life improvements which we will showcase in a brand new demo later this year. Two things you, the players, asked for were the possibility to continue to search for hotspots while in dialogs and to let the game tell you which option n continues the storyline and which options are just there for fluff. We want to get that into the next demo, too. Our world map is also working and now connects all of the different locations in the game and we also have finalized the standard animations of our second playable character, which is awesome to see! Since the last update we’ve added quite some finalized art to the world, but there’s st…
- April Update - 17 April 2024
Point and clickers! It's time for another dev update. We've almost finished all of the standard animations for our second playable character. We also decided to give her a complete design overhaul compared to the version you still see in the demo. Our skillset has simply evolved since we started working on PRG and we wanted to make sure everything you see meets the same standards. The locations of the remaining chapters are in the process of being connected to each other. There is still quite a lot of artwork to be done, so a lot of them are still placeholder graphics. But it feels great that everything slowly starts to feel like “a complete game”! We also couldn’t resist adding another set of locations - I mean, who wouldn’t love to discover a secret underwater base, right? Wait. Did we just tell you about the secret underwater base? The journey through the Brunner tech property will l…
- March Update - 1 March 2024
Dear Community! We're thrilled to share an update regarding the development of our upcoming video game. After an exhilarating experience at our first convention at GG Bavaria, we returned with so much optimism and determination. The response from attendees was overwhelmingly positive, and it affirmed our belief that we're definitely on the right track with President Rocket Game! We really never expected that much interest in a point and click adventure game standing next to games that have millions of budget. In light of this, we've made the decision to postpone our Kickstarter campaign until later this year. Why, you might ask? Well, we're fully committed to ensuring that when we launch our campaign, we do so with the most compelling and comprehensive presentation possible. Having additional gameplay footage from our second playable character and features from the “open world” part of…
- Demo Version 2.0 release! - 28 January 2024
Howdy point and clickers! Hope you had a smooth cruise into the new year. Wow, what a turbulent three months it's been! But we're finally here with our new demo of President Rocket Game! Before you start playing: WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU START A NEW GAME! You WILL run into some issues of you don't. It features a brand new UI with context sensitive hotspots as well as some improvements in the overall pacing. Seeing this first demo was our first release ever, it was also the first opportunity ever to learn and evolve as game developers and we wanted to make as much of that chance as possible. Context sensitive hotspots suit our gameplay way more than the verb system did and hopefully you'll see for yourself it's simply more intuitive while still being challenging. We just wanted to make sure every click counts. :) You may also be wondering “hm, didn't these guys want to switch to Godot eng…
- DEMO OUT NOW! - 3 October 2023
You can all give President Rocket Game a spin! We've finally released our first chapter as a free demo today. Enjoy ex-president Lloyd Kinski stumble into an adventure he didn't see coming as you make your way to the city of Frankenstein in Germany where a conspiracy of global proportions is beginning to unfold. Now that you have a part of our game in our hands and can get a glimpse at our work, we'll continue to grind away at the main game. We're planning a kickstarter campaign early next year to speed up the rest of our development. If you do find a glitch or two in our game, please let us know via the contact form on our website. We are also thoroughly testing a new game engine right now and things are looking good to make a switch away from unity. Now is the right time to consider this. (If you missed all the unity drama, you'll easily be able to google it) Well, I guess the last th…
- July 23 Update - 11 July 2023
Howdy fellow adventurers! We did it! Chapter 1 is now fully playable and we are ready to release it real soon. We've completed closed playtest and are now in the middle of the last beta test before you can get your hands on it. We spent alot of time working on our world and the story to make sure that even though we've chosen a satirical and adulty humorous approach for our first game, it's full of fun and surprising twists and it does have some rather serious moments. Yes, you might loose some of the friends you make along the way. At least in the full release. Like we've stated before, we want to gain your trust with this first free chapter, and speed up our development with a kickstarter later this year. Apart from that we also had to prove to ourselves, that we are able to produce a game that meets our standards. And we're happy with what we've created as a team of two! You can watc…
- February 23 Update - 6 February 2023
February 23 Greetings everyone! Wow. Happy new year! It’s 2023 we're still not quite ready to release our first chunk. We're about two months behind schedule - guess that makes us real game developers! No, all jokes aside: the gameplay of the first, free chunk of the game is finally complete! Getting all of this done while still having regular jobs is challenging, but we’re getting it done. Now we're off to recording the voices of all of the characters and finishing off the cutscenes and main menu. So we're still very hopeful the first chapter will be released in Q1! Chapter one will now feature three different endings and solutions. We also wanted to make sure that the players get a smooth introduction into the story and the world of our game. Once we're done with the last few cutscenes and the voice acting, we'll ramp up our old and crappy website and get this thing out there, before…
- Summer development update! - 29 July 2022
Adventure fans! Time to update you on our progress... We've been having quite a blast working on the completion of our first chapter. Seeing this marks our very first game release, we don't only want to have a completed chapter (and the prologue) for free to prove to YOU that we're capable of of delivering a game that doesn't suck but also to prove it to ourselves of course! And right now as the first few hours of gameplay are coming together, we do feel a little proud. We've been polishing animations and puzzles for the last few weeks and have been making sure to have different possibilities of solving some of the major quests in the game. Some may find sneakier ways while others might enjoy a little bit of brute force here and there. Now of course we won't have alternative solutions for each and every small puzzle. Seeing our game will also be quite dialog heavy we needed (and still n…
- First playtests completed! - 2 April 2022
Good news! We've completed the first few external playtests to start to get rid of the remaining bugs and make sure our gameplay is fun and our storytelling is on point. Our game will be very story and dialog heavy as it's what the two of us have always felt like is our strength. Seeing as we're both still new to the gamedev business, the last few weeks were also very important to get a feel for updating our content, working with the steam sdk and so on. We've also blocked out the game into 5 chapters (maybe 6) and our plan right now is to release the prologue and the first chapter for free sometime in the next few months. But that doesn't mean we will be selling each chapter separately. We'll sell the whole game at once when the rest is done. Furthermore we finished scripting our intro and cutscenes needed in the demo and are ready to start work on that as soon as we're done polishing…
- December development update - 11 December 2021
Well look here! We actually took almost half a year for the promised "regular updates".... Sorry for that, folks! The good news is: we've been super busy grinding away on the development of the game and stayed super focussed! Our vision has gotten quite a bit bigger and seeing we want to keep this in a realistic scope as it's our first release, we took quite some time to write and refine our main plot. Even though PRG is going to be funny and weird, we want to send the players on a cool story, with multiple endings and branches and an adult plot. Who doesn’t love fearing for the life of your favorite characters, eh? Apart from the first few locations (classic) PRG won’t be on rails, and you’ll be able to figure out your own ways of completing the mission. We also spent a lot of time working on lore for our world, which is just something we love to do and intend on being able to design f…
- Our first development update! - 21 July 2021
First of all excuse our silence. Switching from the bone animations to true pixel art took us a while, as it was totally new to us and we needed to put some work in. But we’re very happy with the results now and are slowly back to business as usual. After sorting this out, we have news on the state of our game. We’ve made great progress with the portion of the game that we will release as a demo later this summer (hopefully). That means we’ve almost completed all of the locations and npcs and are about to start intensifying tweaking and playtesting and will begin to record voice overs for the demo. We’re also going to start recording a small developer blog, to keep you updated on what we’re up to and who the f**k we are anyway! As a last little piece of information we’ve also finally updated our feature list. Did we mention that President Kinksi won’t be the only playable character in o…
