New week,
Quite tired,
The sun is out.

Projects danse in front of our eyes:
Space,
Space, but in fact not space
Space, but in a bottle
Space and Time, without a lot of space actually.

What about you?

Today marks the fourth birthday of actezéro.

Four years of incredible projects, cool teams, long nights of writing, exciting workshops, and a megaton of lines.

It's a funny thing, really, to think about all the cool characters and stories we've been able to tell.

I played the free version and it was great; excellent to see it reaching a full release. Well worth a go if you like puzzle narratives

Jason Schreier @jasonschreier.bsky.social · Jan 8

Seven days into 2025 and I've already played what I suspect will be one of my favorite games of the year: The Roottrees Are Dead, a narrative logic deduction game (à la Obra Dinn) that has you searching for clues to unravel the dramatic story of a rich family store.steampowered.com/app/2754380/...

The Roottrees are Dead on Steam

A genealogical mystery straight out of 1998. Scour the early Internet for clues, uncover hidden connections, and piece together the family tree behind the secretive Roottree Corporation.

I still have more unreleased projects than released projects :D

And yeah the struggle is to find the right ratio between rate and days.

actezéro @actezero.bsky.social · Jan 8

WHAT'S FOR 2025?

Well, more projects.
Still expanding to other medium (VR was a big part of 2024 TBH) and outside of video games. We have a couple of BIG surprises!

The goals are:
* Higher rate
* Lower stress
* More creativity and fun
* Cooler and cooler projects!

Thanks for reading :)

actezéro @actezero.bsky.social · Jan 8

That was my big mission after the crunch of 2022/2023: improve the rate/day ratio so we would work less, with less stress, for a better pay.

This isn't perfect, but once again, we're really in a good spot right now and based on my estimates, we've improved all the areas I wanted to improve!
