- BARKOUR Now Speaks 13 Languages! 🐶 - 5 August 2026
Big news Agents - and a genuinely proud moment for the whole team. We've just finished implementing 13 languages in BARKOUR! That means Agent T.H.U.N.D.E.R.'s missions, jokes, arguments with his handlers, and (of course) his barks are almost ready to be understood by players all over the world - no translator collar required. Available languages: English | Japanese | Simplified Chinese | French | German | Korean | Polish | Brazilian Portuguese | Russian | Spanish | Ukrainian | Italian | Turkish This wasn't a small task. Every mission briefing, every sarcastic aside, every bark-to-human mistranslation gag had to be adapted - not just translated - to keep T.H.U.N.D.E.R.'s personality intact in 13 different languages. If a joke doesn't land the same way in Turkish as it does in English, our job wasn't done. We couldn't have gotten here without some fantastic support: A huge thank-you to th…
- DEVLOG: Meet Agent S.T.O.R.M. - 30 July 2026
Every rookie needs a mentor. Agent T.H.U.N.D.E.R. had one too - and he wasn't exactly the warm, fuzzy type. Say hello to Agent S.T.O.R.M., the most legendary (and most classified) operative M.A.N. has ever fielded. Who is he? Before there was T.H.U.N.D.E.R., there was S.T.O.R.M. A Black Russian Terrier, augmented decades ago in a secret Soviet lab, S.T.O.R.M. isn't just old-school - he's the origin of old-school. Recruited out of the KGB, seasoned through a stint at Interpol, and eventually absorbed into M.A.N. as its first and only cyborg agent, he's completed more missions than anyone cares to count. He holds the record for the fastest promotion to Senior Agent in company history. He doesn't talk much. He doesn't need to. The strong, silent type S.T.O.R.M. is efficient, direct, and about as chatty as a locked filing cabinet - right up until a mission (or something deeper) draws him ou…
- BARKOUR AT MUNDO GAMER SHOWCASE - 20 June 2026
Today, Barkour is featured in the Mundo Gamer Showcase - and we're not coming empty-pawed. We're dropping a brand-new gameplay trailer that shows exactly what kind of dog Agent T.H.U.N.D.E.R. is. Spoiler: Adorable. Deadly. Professional. Parkour across rooftops. Slip past guards. Deploy gadgets that definitely aren't dog toys. Stay in the shadows - because the best spy is the one nobody sees coming. Especially when he has four legs and a mission to complete. If you haven't wishlisted Barkour yet - now's a good time. The world doesn't save itself, and frankly, neither do wishlists. Want to keep up with our progress and join the community?

- Development stick peeks - 8 April 2026
We want to thank all of you for being here with us and supporting BARKOUR. It really means a lot. ❤️Today we’d like to share something from the messy, unpredictable side of gamedev - a small sneak peek of what we’ve been testing, breaking, fixing… and sometimes actually finishing 😄Don’t expect everything to be polished - this is where the real chaos of development happens. 😉Let’s start with a small detail…Some time ago, we re-posted a clip on X, that instantly caught our attention and sparked an idea. At first, it was just a joke. Butt... “1 like and we’re adding it to BARKOUR” 😄You know… the kind of thing you say without really planning to follow through.Or maybe not? 👀Because the truth is… we knew we wanted it the moment we saw it. 😊So what happened? Yeah… It’s already in the game 😆 This is exactly how a lot of things in BARKOUR come to life - spontaneous ideas, inspiration from…
- “It’s Just Lighting” - 7 April 2026
How light transforms the entire sceneThe same scene.The same assets. No changes to models or textures.Two versions:before: “PS2 vibe”,after: “PS5 vibe”,The difference? Lighting only.In the first version, everything is flat and evenly lit — clear, but lifeless.In the second, directional light, shadows, and contrast add depth, mood, and focus.The exact same location starts telling a completely different story.Takeaway:lighting isn’t a “final touch.”It’s one of the most important elements shaping how a game feels.If you’re excited about Barkour and want to support the project, adding the game to your Steam wishlist makes a huge difference for our small team.

- The Animals Behind Barkour - 2 April 2026
Hey everyone!Today we wanted to share something a bit different from our usual technical updates. While working on Barkour, we realized just how big of an impact our pets have on the game.Our team is full of them - lots of dogs, cats, and even a few more unusual companions. They’re with us during work, testing sessions, and sometimes they even “help” (by walking across the keyboard at the worst possible moment 😄).But most importantly - many of Thunder’s behaviors in the game are directly inspired by them. His curiosity, energy, stubbornness, and those moments of total distraction aren’t random at all. They come straight from what we see every day.Sometimes all it takes is watching a dog suddenly stop mid-run because it “heard something,” or a cat seriously observing absolutely nothing - and we instantly know how the next animation should look.Meet part of our team OZZYa Labrador in his…

- Chaos & Playing Your Way in Barkour - 5 March 2026
In Barkour, you play as Agent T.H.U.N.D.E.R., a four-legged spy with a talent for parkour, gadgets… and chaos. Missions are designed with freedom in mind - there’s rarely a single “right” path or one way to complete an objective. You decide the order of your tasks, discover hidden routes, and sometimes even blaze through a level in ways we never predicted.This philosophy keeps each playthrough fresh. Stealth fans can sneak past patrols and enjoy quiet missions - we covered how the game rewards sneaky approaches in our previous devlog. Others can jump straight into the action with gadgets and canine tricks. And if you want to mix it all together? Barkour lets you do that with ease. Chaos & Playing Your Way One of the things we love most about Barkour is that it lets you play your way - even if that means a little… chaos.From the very beginning, we didn’t want players to be forced into a…

- How Barkour Rewards Playing It Quiet - 19 February 2026
From the very start, Barkour was built around choice. You can move fast, you can go loud… but one of the playstyles we care about the most is playing it quiet. Stealth in Barkour was never meant to be an optional extra. We wanted sneaking around to feel just as natural and just as satisfying as fighting. And once we decided the main character would be a dog, that idea started to make a lot of sense on its own. Playing as a dog changes how you look at the world. You’re smaller, faster, and more agile. Staying out of sight, slipping past guards, or finding smart ways around problems feels intuitive instead of forced. When you choose to slow down and stay quiet, the game responds to that choice. Our levels are designed with that freedom in mind. There’s rarely just one correct route. Instead, locations are full of alternative paths, hidden spaces, and vertical routes that reward careful ob…
