You know, we haven't gotten or own hands on the plushy prototype yet, but we have it on good authority that its "just the right level of squishyness".
🦬 Yes, you can pet the Calicorn! The beloved beast from the game Herdling is now available for preorder as a supremely fuzzy plush:

Did you hear, we're up for the "Best Music" award in the Indie Game Awards 👀On indiegameawards.gg you can also find the "Community Picks" form, in case you want to suggest Herdling for an additional category 🥰

Brewing something cool for the next HAZE update 👀

Just finished Crow Country after SIGNALIS and I wanna chase the high of playing adventure games with great stories and world building

Anybody has any recommendations like that? They don't need to have horribly frustrating aiming mechanics for combat, if it helps

On that note, HAZE 1.1.2 is now OUT! ✨✨

Update highlights:
- Subtractive density volumes mode (with new demo scene)
- Aspect ratio adjustment options for froxel buffer resolution
- Bug fixes especially around light cookies
- Asset page translation to traditional Chinese

Check it out now! 👇👇👇

Another excuse to play around with lighting and HAZE ⛩🌫

Put together with some megascans, some MTree meshes and simple models in Unity URP ✨

HAZE isn't exclusively for spooky stuff, but it does help with the eerie atmosphere 👀

Oh and main light cookies were hella broken before, but I only just found out 😅

So this will also be fixed in HAZE 1.1.2 ✨
November 15, 2025 at 2:58 PM
I got a bit too excited to share this and ignored how intense that banding looks with subtractive density

So a couple of days of head scratching (and banging) later, I figured a way to make it much smoother ✨

My most woke opinion is that there's no such thing as a "woke opinion" as that would imply that social inequalities are something that can be debated and that they can rely on specific points of view.

(No dig to the quoted post, just an overall thought)
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Another thing coming in the next update: Optionally retain the aspect ratio on the froxel buffer

This squares up the froxels in the X and Y and can help a bit with some artifacting in higher density areas.

It.. might not be too visible unless you open up the screenshots and go back and forth 😅
November 13, 2025 at 7:16 PM
Apart from some bug fixes and some other stuff, next HAZE version will feature a subtractive mode for density volumes, using their own density to carve away at the existing fog 🌫

Combined with the previous update that means you can have point lights dissolving the fog! 💡

We hear it's #pitchyagame time, so let us introduce HERDLING:

🦬 Travel with a herd of weird creatures
🏔️ Journey to the mountains
🍂 Leave society behind
🌳 This is a game you play for the ✨vibes ✨

Also it has ~94% positive reviews and was just nominated for several awards so go for it?
November 7, 2025 at 2:55 PM
Yaay, HAZE has enough reviews to show the rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Have you also tried out HAZE? Would love to hear what you think about it (either here or in a review) :D
November 6, 2025 at 5:15 PM
HERDLING is nominated for the "Best 3D Visuals" category of the Unity Awards!! ✨

There are so many strong nominees for the category, but it would be really awesome if you could vote for our beautiful game ✨

Just finished SIGNALIS (late to the party, I know) and given how amazing the story was in it, along with how amazing the story was in 1000xRESIST, I think I cracked the formula for awesome game stories
November 5, 2025 at 3:57 PM
So glad to see good things can still happen; hope is such a rare thing these days, so it's always nice to be reminded that actually caring for human rights and people's lives is a winning platform ✨

HAZE 1.1.1 is now live!

You can now control the density of fog based on the space secondary lights occupy and get some nice volumetric spotlights without fogging everything up ✨

Also fixed an error that occured when no main light shadows are enabled 👀
Right now, HAZE supports color contribution from additional lights, but there has to be underlying fog to make them show up

In the next update (coming soon), global and local fog will have an option to boost density using secondary light attenuation, so you can have just light beams with no fog✨

Definitely hire Andrea as soon as possible, she's an amazing technical artist and she's gonna make your game look freaking amazing
Last week was my last week at Iron Gate - After three years working on Valheim, it's time to start looking for new adventures elsewhere.

If you know someone looking for a kickass Tech Artist/Programmer, hit me up. Happy to work either remote, or on-site in Stockholm.
