We want play…
- Polish Constitution Days 2025 - Devlog+Stream - 29 April 2025
We’re proud to be part of the Steam event celebrating Polish Constitution Day! For us, this day is more than just a date on the calendar — it’s a time to reflect on history, heritage, and identity. These values resonate deeply in the Kashubian culture we come from and aim to share through our game. On the lands of Kashubia, memory and tradition have always been kept alive — through language, stories, and the unwavering will to preserve our roots. That’s why we’re especially happy to join fellow Polish game developers in showing the world our passion, creativity, and love for native culture — the very spirit we’re working to capture in our upcoming game: 💛 Dungeons of the Amber Griffin 🎮 Over the past few months, we’ve been working hard behind the scenes, keeping many details under wraps so that we can surprise you in the best possible way once the time is right. But today, in honor of…
- The Plague of Pikas - 28 February 2025
The mist clings low to the ground, and the crisp air once carried the scent of damp moss and drying leaves. But this winter, something is terribly wrong in the land of Magical Kashubia. The wretched spiders, which should be slumbering in their burrows, have crept into the light. In the tutorial? They’re there. In the puzzles? Covered in webs. Even in the forest library, where knowledge should be sacred, they have shamelessly spread their silk, weaving thick nets between the books. They are the Pikas. Defiant, sinister creatures that know no mercy. When one falls to your blade, three more will scuttle out from the shadows, their legs whispering against the ground. They are not hard to kill—but do not let them swarm you. If they overrun you, no magic or steel will save you. Something has broken the ancient cycle of sleep and wakefulness. Something has driven these vile creatures from thei…
- The last edition of the demo - 22 February 2025
Dear players, This is your last chance to play the autumn edition of our game demo on Unreal Engine 5.3! In this version, you can read Kashubian tales, jump through traps, and battle Kashubian demons to the music of Percival Schuttenbach. The current game modes have been reworked and will return in an even more exciting form at the full release. A new game mode, "Challenges," will be integrated with the story mode, allowing players to use their custom-built party in the Amber Road mode. 📸 Below is a sneak peek of the new mode—we’ll share more details soon! Over the past few months, we have focused on improving game mechanics, optimizing locations, and enhancing character models (including new MetaHuman characters). We’ve also been working on NPC dialogues, quests, and building new locations. Our planned release date is June 2025, but we will officially confirm it in about 1.5 months, d…
- Golden Autumn - Dziady - 31 October 2024

We are pleased to introduce the new version of the Benchmark mode in the latest Unreal Engine 5.4.4. We have implemented AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 3.1.1, which speeds up the hardware.

- New Release Date: 2025 - 19 October 2024
Hello, I would like to share some information with you about our game. Unfortunately, with great regret, we have to announce that the game’s release has been postponed to 2025 (Q2/Q3). This year, we did a lot of hard work, but we faced many challenges beyond our control. Briefly, here’s what we’ve been dealing with: First, we had many Unreal Engine 5 crashes, which required us to dig into the project from scratch to find the causes. Most of them have been fixed. Implementing NPC Metahuman characters and linking their dialogues with quests took longer than expected. We managed to create a set of over 45 NPC characters, optimized 3D models with whom you can talk, trade, and explore the world of Magical Kashubia. Phew... Optimizing the project to raise the graphics level while ensuring it would still run on older computers also took a long time. We created many new stages – caves, dungeons…
- Dungeons of the Amber Griffin | Announcement Trailer - Remix Unreal Engine 5 - 2 August 2024
Hello, Travelers! It's been over two years since we first showcased the trailer for our game on Unreal Engine 4. Since then, our game has undergone a massive transformation. Now, we have transitioned to Unreal Engine 5, allowing us to reach an even higher visual standard. We have improved both 2D and 3D graphics, making significant enhancements and refinements. Today, we are thrilled to present to you the new version of the trailer – a remix that reflects the current state of the game on Unreal Engine 5. In the past few years, we have dedicated ourselves to intensive work on game mechanics and improving various elements to deliver the best and most polished experience possible. It has been a long and challenging journey, but we are now ready to launch our Kickstarter campaign. Your support is invaluable to us, especially with our small production team. We are also proud to announce that…
- Dungeons of the Amber Griffin - Experiments - 13 July 2024
We invite you to watch a short video of our experiments with the mechanics of two new buttons: All Attack and Slowmotion. The first button, "All Attack," allows all characters to perform a melee attack. We are trying to set a separate cooldown for this option so that it is not too easy (to prevent players from pressing this button all the time). Additionally, we are testing the mechanics of binding keys 1, 2, 3, 4 – appropriately for 4 players, for example, 1 – all attack of the first character, etc. The second button, "Slowmotion," allows time to slow down. This is very interesting because this button not only makes gameplay easier during difficult battles but also helps in overcoming logical traps. We are trying to set a separate cooldown for this button to prevent players from abusing it, as it would ruin the gameplay. In the musical mode of the game on the Percival map, unfortunatel…
- Amber Benchmark 4K - Test your PC - 3 July 2024

We invite you to join us in testing and to share your results on our Discord channel: https://discord.com/invite/mWV3a3Nrzw Players who share their measurements will receive a special role on the #benchmark channel and will be rewarded with exciting in-game items in the future.

- Digital Dragons 2024 - Indie Showcase Finalist - 20 May 2024
We are honored to have been selected by Digital Dragons as finalists for the Indie Showcase. On this occasion, we are pleased to present you with an update on our game. Over the past few months, we have been working hard on new features in Unreal Engine 5.4.1: We started creating landscapes using PCG. We implemented AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 and performed a lot of optimization work on the game. We upgraded our game to the latest version of Unreal Engine 5.4.1, paving the way for amazing technological advancements. We developed a modular house-building system, which you can see in the streamlined story mode of the game. We implemented Nanite Terrain Tessellation, which includes 3D indentations in the terrain. We changed the Tutorial location (improving descriptions and the location itself). We improved other locations, and spring has arrived on Percival's map! Additionally, we ar…

Hey, winter is leaving the land of Magical Kashubia for good. Due to our nomination in the Best Upcoming Game Art Style category at DevGamm 2024 in Gdansk, we are inviting you to another game demo.

In addition, you can feel the winter atmosphere by running through traps in Speedrun II. Until mid-January, you can still pick up presents from under the Christmas tree in the game's Benchmark mode.

Discover Magical Kashubia! Winter has arrived, so get your leather gloves and hoods ready. A new obstacle course in ‘Speedrunning’ mode is waiting for you to test your skills.

He was their protector, but also defended people agains…
