Oh wow, didn't have Polygon calling our game an Indie gem on my bingo card o-o

www.polygon.com/panta-rhei-i...

This indie gem could be the summer’s best roguelike

Time-bending roguelike Panta Rhei is one of the more approachable entries in the popular genre.

More impressions from gamescom! And new things I learned:
- It's a lot less stressful when you have somewhat of a plan
- East/West entrance only exists for entering and then disappears
- Cologne kinda beautiful
- Playing long boardgames on the train is not ideal
- I am not able to look angry ò-ó

Fashionably late, but now also on the way to gamescom! With 1 released title, 1 new studio and 2.5 new projects in the pipeline I have some things to chat about ^-^7
Soooo let's wave at each other awkwardly trying to remember if we met before ^^"

Heh, we actually sat there with clipboards and analysed the movie for its narrative structure and plot twist...
Best use of work hours so far :3

Two weeks ago we launched the WE ARE Workshops 2025 by Gold Extra with a game ideation intro!

We ended with cats challenging zombies in ping pong tournaments to collect hair balls so I'm counting this as an astounding success ^^

Last week I was invited to chat with @thewobblygamer.bsky.social and @ckeywood.bsky.social about Panta Rhei and our story in becoming indie developer. Was lovely talking to them, just ignore the last part where I can't think of any games starting with the letter P >_>

To Put It Bluntly @toputitbluntly.bsky.social · Apr 5

Episode 25 is out now

Spotify- rb.gy/7ir88k
Youtube- rb.gy/0t92lc

A colourful illustrated podcast thumbnail featuring the text "TO PUT IT BLUNTLY" The number 25 in bold numbers and the name "RAFFAEL MOSER" in bold letters. The design includes a screenshot from the developers game PANTA RHEI, a warm colour scene with a insect looking main character and a giant boss. The overall look is playful and creative, resembling an anime or animated cartoon poster.

Sooo I recently did a talk at a project management conference about why #gamedev is hard... and I learned that doing projects that are not games is also hard o-o

But it's always really valuable to peek outside my core bubble and do some reality checks ^^"

Presentation slide titled "Searching for Ideas" featuring a ship and treasure map.

Raff looking very professional on stage, probably talking about why gamedev teams are complicated sometimes.
