Some of you know, but we haven't made a public statement yet... The past few months we've been going at 50% strength as programmer Hans (pictured left) has been hospitalized with a brain tumor. Results from his treatment are positive and I hope beyond everything that my friend recovers - Michiel

We made history! 😮 In the newly released book Arcade Adventures by @lostincult.co.uk, writer @spadgy.bsky.social graciously mentions our Schildmaid MX in an illustrious lineup of #indiegames that he thinks successfully build on the foundation of arcade #shmups to explore new directions.

As you may or may not know, we’re featured in the docu Press Start for Nostalgia by Bruno Ramos. After real life premiere events in both the Netherlands and Brazil, Press Start for Nostalgia will premiere on Youtube tomorrow. It's a worthwhile watch and not just because we're in it! 😉 Link below.

We’ve been featured in a real life paper magazine yet again! And it’s in the beautiful quarterly #indiegames focused @debugmag.com Considering the amount of indie games that come out each quarter, we’re extremely happy that our #shmup Schildmaid MX got a 2 page spread in this cool publication 🙏🏻

Space is becoming a tiny bit of an issue. Where did you store your physical copy of Schildmaid MX?
