We’re a tiny game studio working out of Aotearoa., headlined by Rory Rackham, former Lead Game Designer on Path of Exile and Path of Exile 2. We’ve recently announced development on Into the Rootforge. Wishlist on Steam now to help us out!

Here is a glimpse at a new monster that fires explosive mines. He needs a name! Bonus points for a solid pun name. Reply with your suggestions!

Glowworms and visual improvements!
Some visual updates in the later part of Zone 1. Also a tile feature where you can see the new slime bosses being grown.

Working on some cool but super secret stuff this week, so instead you get a picture of our new cat, Toasty! Also featuring some exclusive Rootforge merch… and by exclusive, I mean I only have one and you can't have it because I'm wearing it.

I've been working on boring preloading stuff, but we do have a fancy load screen to show for it! Do you think the run should start automatically once loaded, or should it start only when you say you're ready? Should there be an option? #indiegamedev #intotherootforge #gamedev

After 14 years working on Path of Exile and Path of Exile 2, I'm now going full time indie on Into the Rootforge! It's going to be a wild ride, I hope you'll all join me on this new adventure!
