Hi, everyone!
Julian here. The reception of From Ruins and Thinky Direct and the Cerebral Puzzle Showcase has been fantastic, and we had an amazing weekend showing off the game – as well as The Great Sassanelli – at DoKomi. Thanks again to everyone for wishlisting and for your kind words! 💖
Today, we're delighted to reveal our exclusive trailer for the Women-Led Games 2026 Summer Showcase. It spotlights both the fictitious women in the game – giving a first insight into the story –, and the real women developing it – providing a peek into our work behind the scenes. My co-founder Jasmin will take it from here!
Shoutouts 📢
In the same spirit, we’d like to shout out some other upcoming games that also take part in the Women-Led Games Showcase. They're all developed by German friends, and we just shared a booth with the first two at last week's DoKomi. Check them out!
Tiny Capsule Collector
Take a look at this new super-cute desktop idler from Playing Mantis Studio in Cologne. Run a cozy capsule shop at the bottom of your screen. Attract cute animal customers, collect charming capsule toys, and build a relaxing, ambient world in this idle sim bringing you small moments of joy while you work. Make your desktop a place you’d rather be.
Lucky Punk
Our friends at Green Parrot Games from Cologne announced their debut title Lucky Punk. They've distilled the roguelike deckbuilder into one simple choice: Draw or Stop. Push your luck and beat the odds in the vibrant post-apocalypse. Gather supplies and build your community. Survive and thrive in a vibrant eco-dystopia… or don’t. – 1% chance. 100% choice. Do you feel lucky, Punk?
Map Map
Our friends at Pipapo Games from Hamburg just released their award winning game Map Map. In this game, YOU make the maps! Become the cartographer of a small adventure crew and use proper navigation tools like a real explorer. Map the environment to turn unknown islands into a hand-drawn journey toward a legendary treasure.
Light Of Atlantis
Our fellow devs from Duck ‘n’ Run Games in Hamburg invite you to explore the depths of the ocean in this 2D-Puzzle-Metroidvania! Control the water levels and switch between various robots to solve the ancient puzzles of Atlantis.
We hope you that enjoy this short peek behind the scenes, and that you'll find some nice games for yourselves at the showcase. After an eventful two weeks, it'll be a while until the next big announcement – follow our socials so you don't miss it!
