💫 A Journey Into The Unknown 💫
Dear Sproutlings 🌱,
On a sunny day about three years ago, we were sitting on a park bench in Berlin, spitballing random game ideas that we wanted to explore. Ideas that stuck with us and came back to us from time to time. One of them was fairly simple: What about a game where you are alone in space and you start talking to your plant?
This simple concept changed and transformed over time—as most game ideas do. Over time it grew into different forms; each of them could've been a proper game. From a narrative-driven comic game to a sci-fi survival sandbox (eat those hamburgers before you sleep, Oda!) and finally to the unique blend of genres that we have today.
But there were other parts of the concept that remained steadfast: A short journey through space. A mysterious ship that you explore on your own terms. Systemic gameplay. Time as a key factor of your journey. The main character is Oda, a young person with a very firm turquoise bun.

💫 A new perspective 💫
Fast forward to today: After two years of development and the help of so many people, our first game Space Sprouts launched two days ago.
Space Sprouts is the first commercial game we developed from start to finish. These last few days we could slowly let go of the game development tunnel vision and just watch. Watch people having genuine fun. See players experimenting with the games systems, wondering, exploring. Uncover all the weird little details we put in the game. It felt strange yet wholesome, seeing our little game existing out there, in the world, all on its own.
Over the past two years Space Sprouts grew into a game that we love and deeply care about. A game that combines the vision and sensibilities of everyone who worked on it. A game with an expansive solar punk spaceship, with 100 achievements and a unique world to explore. And also with a black hole that you can throw stuff into. If you like.
We hope you have fun while you explore it for yourself. And if you do, make sure to leave us a review. We'd really appreciate that.
