• Devlog June 2026 - 12 June 2026

  Hello everyone!We feel like the year just started and now May is already here. It’s incredible how fast the last few months have flown by.

  Hey everyone! 2026 is now almost a month old and has greeted us here in Germany with quite a lot of snow. And what could be better in weather like this than building a snowman, then snuggling into a blanket, and working on your dream game? 😉What we can report on:Too linear… or too open?Let it burn!How to optimize open levels?Into the swamp🤔 Too linear… or too open?In the months leading up to Gamescom, we focused primarily on our demo.

So we packed our things, headed to Cologne, Germany, spent a week sleeping on air mattresses in our artist André’s living room (luckily he lives there!), and showed off our game!From Wednesday to Sunday, visitors at Gamescom could play Rootbound in Hall 10.2 and give us direct feedback at our booth. We not only managed to win over new players but also meet many of you who simply stopped by to say hi - which made us incredibly happy! 😊Besides exhibiting the game, networking was high on our agenda. We were able to connect with other studios and pub…
