Screenshot of the game skyrim. Player Character is stealing from an NPC. Added Text: "I have next to no self-restraint when it comes to stealing things. It's becoming an issue, especially when I'm trying to roleplay a "good" character.

Schweizer Spieleentwickler #042: Obleak Games aus Uster

Zwei Spiele gleichzeitig entwickeln, und das mit einem gerade mal vierköpfigen Kernteam? Das junge Indie-Studio obleak games macht genau das. Ein Interview.

www.games.ch/swissgames/a... (G+)

Totally.

The main thing I find hard to like it the lack of conflict that you also mention... overly positivistic. But that also applies mainly to narrative heavy games - nothing against a good Dorfromantik-style game with its boardgame vibe and appealing visuals.

Cozy games are losing popularity because of the current cultural/geopolitical shift (Eurocentric perspective).

Curious to hear what others think about this and if anyone doesn't agree.

(Maybe that's also just a personal hope of mine xD)

LOOOOVE the visuals

They made another game called ' In Full Bloom' which they pitched as "fucked up" Katamari and yeah that's exactly what it is. Certified Knoebel core.

Launches mid 2026 on PC.

In Full Bloom was covered by Rock Paper Shotgun <3

What a time to be alife and I can die in peace now.

ABSCONDER on Steam ABSCONDER is a fast-paced game about quick decisions and limited vision. In this top-down action runner, you are escaping from the compound of a totalitarian regime. Use every shortcut, find every hid...

Progress!

The Steam page for ABSCONDER launched!

ABSCONDER is about the hopelessness of an escape, the thrill of split second decisions and learning how to deal with limited vision.

ABSCONDER is a stark red game in the top-down perspective, while In Full Bloom is a greyscale game showing a weird creature that is just a hge mouth. Two large logos of devcom and gamescom are added to the graphic.

Team obleak will be attending #gamescom from August 20 - 22!
We'll be part of the #SwissGames booth in the B2B area. Looking forward to meeting many new people!

On top of that, we'll also be attending #devcom in the days prior, Aug 18 - 19!
We'd love to meet you there if you're also attending!

Whaaat?! He was our best chance to witness endless life... If he hadn't lived the way he did. Insane that he got that old in the first place.

Such an icon. Will never stop listening to Black Sabbath.

We are currently working on "In Full Bloom" in which you take care of and feed a small creature and watch it grow and become monstrous.

It's a commentary on our current political landscape + consumerism.

Yoooo. My friends at flawberry released their game "Projected Dreams".
Such a cute and thought through project! I love the design of the rooms and how interactive they are.

Tweened the shit out of everything. Juice juice juice <3

funny that 35h is considered "short".

Ooooh. Thank you for the support!

YesYesYes!

Also imagine the world building. In her experiment she added four suns, so everyone would live in constant daytime.
There are some snippets of the life on those plots.

"Every ten years we go on holidays, where we spend 72 US Dollars."
"Every 70 years we get a new pair of jeans."
...

Finally got around to check out your videos. Got me hooked and will go on a binge now. Bruh, I need more time in a day!

page 36/37 of the book Neotopia by Manuela Pfunder, 2002. One plot of land with the biomes and zones assigned to one human.

Manuela Pfrunder devides all ressources into equal plots of land for each human on earth. Same biomes, indurial zones, water types with fishing zones, livable areas,...
She analyses how long we spend in each area and which goods we produce etc.

Love those experiments. Let's make a game out of it.

Page 26/27 from the book Neotopia by Manuela Pfunder, 2002. The world if all it's ressources where devided equally to leave every human with a plot of land. Each plot with the exact same amount of each biome, sea, water, industrial zone, etc.

One more about my hyperspecific rabbit hole.

Talking to my mum about said grid plan obsession, she handed me a book she owned since a long time. (how i love this woman)

"Neotopia. Atlas of equitable distribution of the world" by Manuela Pfrunder

If i'd be inspired to make a game from a medieval town I think i'd go more in the direction to explore the winded paths, the buildings built on top of eachother maybe. (but i also didn't win game of the year)

Just super interesting to me how we make spaces measurable like this.

People playing Carcassonne, Picture by wikipedia user JIP, 2020

Another interesting aspect: game maps.

Heavily grid based, because of convenience, measurability and balance.

Still funny how the game carcassonne, named after a medieval (definitely not grid based) citadel, is made of squares exclusively.

It must have an impact on your (conceptural/spacial) perception of the world in what kind of plan / layout you grew up in. If anyone has insights on that: PLEASE, I NEED TO KNOW!
