Can we VENT for a minute? 😤

If you ever need to blow off some steam, try shooting the vents in ChromaGun 2. A new path might open for you 😌

Last #ScreenshotSaturday for ChromaGun 2 before we launch next week thursday! 😱

#gamerelease #indiedev #gamedev

We spent four years developing ChromaGun 2.

How silly!

We could have just used AI from the get-go 😋

To celebrate the release of ChromaGun 2: Dye Hard next week thursday, we're following our tradition to livestream the launch!

Join us on Twitch when we press the button 👉️ 🚨

The stream will be in German.

Some of our in-game visuals have changed quite a bit from the initial concepts.

For example, the CHROMATEC interior turned out even more... techy 🧑‍💻

It's #WishlistWednesday, my dude:ttes!

Make sure to wishlist ChromaGun 2: Dye Hard to not miss our release on February 12! 🔫

#steam #indiegame

We'd like to share more concept art and development insights during the next week and a half as we approach the release date of ChromaGun 2!

Here are some early ideas for the Rifts you encounter during the game and a comparison how we translated them to 3D. 🫟

Happy Sunday! Have some Droid concept art for ChromaGun 2 🤖

Let's do a good old #ScreenshotSaturday, shall we?

Some before and after sparkly shader progression in ChromaGun 2! ✨️

More early concept art for ChromaGun 2! 🖌️

And yet again chicken-themed 🐔 10/10 would put all my eggs in his basket!

Disclaimer: We may need to adjust this annual cap depending on the company's situation and how much the team utilizes it, as this is a significant investment for a small indie dev.

To give our employees the same opportunity, we’ve implemented a 10-day annual cap for charity work, covered by the company and tracked separately to remain compliant with funding regulations. The definition of "charity" is entirely up to the employee.

I realized that in my position as CEO, my pay isn't strictly dependent on my hours - an advantage when doing things like occasional charity work, as I don't have to worry about hitting a specific hour count for my next paycheck.

We have implemented 10 workdays of charity leave per employee, per year! 💃 I got the idea after we started building consoles and PCs for the children's home in Nuremberg.

Thanks a lot! <3

Here's a glimpse on how we’ve turned concept art into polished game art. You can definitely see the vision early on! 🐔
After four years of development, we’re super excited to release ChromaGun 2 on February 12 2026! 💥

She prayed to God for her cat. The answer… Well. Not quite as expected.

Welcome to the office, @mimustudio.bsky.social! One year after starting their Nuremberg-based company, Mimu UG, Sumunthana (Ploi) and Watcharid (Alfie) have finally gotten their self-employment visa and moved from Bangkok to Nuremberg to start a new life here. Looking forward to working with you!

We now have a module in our accounting tool that displays CO2 emissions on a per-project basis! 😍 Unsurprising TL;DR is: Flights are really bad for our footprint. The months besides the peaks in our graph do have multiple travels, but as those were done via train, they look like the x-axis 🙈

Hello world, we've just announced our new game 👁️

Imprinted is our new psychological thriller about the dark side of creativity.

Some music never truly leaves their creators 🎶

Just sent €10,882.55 for being one of the many sponsors of the charity event Friendly Fire in Germany! Thanks for organizing this 🤝 @llcupido.bsky.social

PS: Disclaimer: 19% of this payment is VAT and not going to charity

I believe this strategy or something similar is going to be our template for future projects, but remember that this positive case was also a lot of luck.

27.11.2025: The €30,000 concept funding is approved by the FFF, which gives us the chance to work on a proper concept based on the trailer.

03.11.2025: I post on LinkedIn that it went viral and the only thing missing is the actual game & money.
We get 8 publisher requests, of which one we're going to sign soon.
