Right now

What we're working on

Sentinels of Gleamwood has the studio's full attention. It's a 2D action roguelite for Windows, headed to Steam, unreleased. The run loop, the saves, the economy, the modding system and the entire front end are already playable. Ten bosses and per-biome art are what's left.

Alongside it we take contract work in Unity, on the same pipeline. If that's why you're here, the services page has the detail.
