Made this shelf thingy for my wife’s shop! It was a lot of fun to do, and very pleased with the results! Every single part was made out of my storage of stuff people have given away for free and I’ve thought “I can probably use this for something some time”. Proved myself right!!

RIP King Harald ❤️ I've never been a royalist, but he honestly was a great king, and such a warm and funny person. Video games randomly got me to meet and dine him and his family *twice*! Illustration is by @slartibartmads.bsky.social, an easter egg in one of our Alfons Åberg games (sorry Swedes)

If you don't have this game already now's your chance. A delightful, cozy little adventure that's the perfect antidote to these trying times. Can't recommend any more highly. Check it out!

Happy International Women’s Day! 💙 We want to take a moment to celebrate Tove Jansson, the incredible artist and storyteller who created the Moomins! Her stories of kindness, curiosity, and quiet courage continue to inspire and warm hearts around the world.

I can’t believe today is two years since we released Snufkin. That game took over 4 years to make and when we released it, we had completely run out of money. On launch day all staff was in “temporary layoff”, a system we have here in Norway, not knowing if they would return or not.

Thankfully the game was a success, and we went break even within a month. No one had to leave our studio 🙏🏼The past two years we have been full speed ahead on Moomintroll: Winter’s Warmth. Much thanks to the Norwegian Film Institute and @wingsfund.me.

I’m so proud of the game the team has put together, and we’re less than two months from release now! I honestly think this game is even better than Snufkin, and pray that players will agree! You can download our demo to see for yourself: store.steampowered.com/app/4179690/...

Needless to say it was an immensely stressful period for everyone, and we ended up taking a large bank loan to keep going. The last thing the team did before release was what we called “panic jam”. We made a teaser and pitch of our next game, which we had been in pre-production for in a short while.

It was a new Moomin game, working title “Winter’s Warmth”. Obviously we had high hopes for Snufkin’s success and wanted to keep working with this wonderful world. These stills are surprisingly close to how the game has ended up, apart for the now super weird-looking Moomintroll character design 👀

Sorry if I've already shared this but here is my preview of Moomintroll: Winter's Warmth just ahead of the Steam Next Fest demo that is now there for you to play too. It's going to be a brilliant sequel of sorts. bonus-action.com/preview/moom...

I built a tree house!! It took me 5 years, working on it for 1 week each summer (so 5 weeks). This summer my son and his cousins slept there a few nights 😬🛠️🌳🏠🌳
