- 2024 in Review and Future Plans - 9 April 2025
Hi everyone, 2024 was a transformative year for the studio, as we finally achieved relative stability and adequate resources to expand the scope of our projects and develop them at a healthy pace. Thank you for supporting us through this journey and the growing pains. I'd like to share my thoughts about our releases in 2024, as well as games the studio contributed to, and plans for 2025. Dragon Ruins As a long-time fan of David Allen's work (Mordor, Demise), I was surprised that no one created a successor to his games, so I decided to do it myself. Dragon Ruins started as a jam game to test the core gameplay and then reworked into an enhanced commercial version to test the waters. It became a hit for us and showed we weren't alone in wanting another game like this. We released a follow-up in January 2025, which also sold very well. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2929540/Dragon_Ruins…

- Announcement of Demon Lord Reincarnation Gaiden, our new game! - 28 January 2024
We're excited to announce Demon Lord Reincarnation Gaiden, our new game. Originally, this scenario was planned for a sequel, but it took off in its own direction and became an Ultima-style game with a new story. However, the initial draft was too good to abandon, so we turned it into a standalone expansion, similar to how Wizardry II was to the original Wizardry.

- Der Geist series turn five years old today! - 19 September 2023
Das Geisterschiff and Der Geist series turn five years old today. In these experimental dungeon crawlers, you play as a mech pilot and complete dangerous missions in a dying world. These games offer unique wireframe-style visuals to simulate the "visual sensor" of your Robotic Combat Suit and atmospheric electronic music in the style of 80's electro-industrial. The series enjoyed limited success, but these games remain special to me, as they started my career as an indie game developer. All games are 66% off on Steam right now. https://store.steampowered.com/app/975230/Das_Geisterschiff__The_Ghost_Ship/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1217070/Der_Geisterturm__The_Ghost_Tower/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1581240/Der_Geisterjger__The_Ghost_Hunter/ Also, we are making a new Der Geist game.

- Eberbach Corp Pilot's Guide #4: Additional RCS Functions - 16 July 2021
Greetings, RCS pilots. In this issue we'll take a look at the additional functions of your Robotic Combat Suits, such as RCS Modules, Combat Stances and Ram Responses. RCS Modules Your RCS is equipped with helper modules to assist you in your assignments.

BOOSTER — allows you to dash forward to close in on the enemy, jump over small pits, or ram the target twice. Consumes 25 energy points per use. Upgrading this module will reduce energy consumption.
