Putting Szczecin on the gamedev map
Gamedev in Szczecin is currently more of a rumor than a scene. We'd like to change that, one silly game at a time. Making games in Szczecin too? Say hi. There's room in the herd.

03 / FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Well, nobody has asked yet. We're being proactive.
When does the game come out?
It's cooking. You can't rush good cooking, and you definitely shouldn't open the oven every five minutes. You can, however, join the newsletter and we'll shout when it's ready.
What is the game about?
We could tell you, but then the alpaca would have to spit on you. Details soon. Probably. It's on the checklist.
What's with all the cooking talk?
The Alpaca Human genuinely loves to cook, the edible kind included. Turns out games and dinner follow the same recipe: good ingredients, a lot of taste-testing, and you don't serve it until it's ready.
Why an alpaca and not a llama?
Have you seen an alpaca? Exactly. Next question.
Why is there a llama emoji on half the internet's alpaca posts?
Because Unicode has no alpaca emoji, so 🦙 has to do. This is an injustice.
Will there be a Discord?
Yes! It's being built right now. At the moment it's an empty room with an impressive echo. We'll open the doors once there's furniture.
Are you hiring?
Not right now. But if you make games, especially in Szczecin, say hi anyway.

Be there when it's served.
Three ways to keep an eye on the alpaca. Choose one, or all three. The alpaca won't judge. Much.
