This February was my most successful biking February yet. Even though there was once -10°C, a little ice and snow, I still rode 550 km of bike commute.

Looking for some clever puzzles? 🧩 Then you’ll definitely want to check out Hope Timbre, an upcoming surreal puzzler by our friend and colleague Peter Stehlik.

We just released Rift Riff on Google Play and App Store, and I'm mega proud of the work the team did to get this running smoothly in #godot. The way the game has quick rounds, and how its interaction style is built, may (dare I say) even make it a better fit for phones than for desktop #mobilegaming

While everyone is visiting Trosky and Kuttenberg from KCD2, can you guess which other Czech game this location we visited today is from?

Had a great weekend with my kids in the beautiful Czech landscape - just roaming and sleeping under the stars.

My family and friends are really enjoying this concept. If you're even slightly into board games, give it a try! There's a free trial, and it's on sale now.

🍄🕹️🔥 Two days to @amanita-design.net developers' gathering. Trying to polish and fix the current build of our new game (yes, the one you know nothing about) as much as possible - without breaking anything. Nothing can go wrong, right?

Always curious what surprises the next playtests will reveal.

We just finished playing Split Fiction. What a wild ride! Our whole family had a blast sharing the controller on the couch. The ending far exceeded my expectations and completely blew my mind. Amazing work, @hazelightgames.bsky.social!

Spent a month in medieval Bohemia—KCD2 feels that real. Thought I’d try it for a few hours, ended up finishing it after a long time. Not flawless—but that’s part of its authentic charm, just like medieval life. Great work, Warhorse team!

Announcement!

Rift Riff releases on May 9.

Steam link: store.steampowered.com/app/2800900/...

It's a tower defense game with a strategic mix of juicy tower loadouts, varied monster behaviors, and merciful mechanics. Jump a rift, fight off monsters, and plunder their world.

At the hotel breakfast, the waiter overheard our conversation, and we spent the next 10 minutes discussing Split Fiction (he’s about 2 hours behind us) and other @hazelightgames.bsky.social games. Games really are mainstream, and it’s great that co-op is too.

Last week, our studio held a fundraising sale to support humanitarian aid in Ukraine, suffering under Russian aggression.
We sold nearly 60,000 copies of our games — huge thanks to everyone who joined in!

Interestingly, the top 3 countries by number of sales were:
🇺🇸 USA
🇺🇦 Ukraine
🇷🇺 Russia 👀

I really dont know, sorry. This could be something specific to the project or Unity version and it is really long time ago.

We’re already well over $30,000 raised for humanitarian aid in Ukraine and counting. The fundraiser continues through April 2.

Thank you for your contributions!

Nice timing :) I updated it in current project last week to get rid of multiple cameras and do it through SRP render features. Might update the github repository when I have time.
