Bonecrusher is the newest addition to the Trine 2 enemy repertoire and was recently introduced in the new GamesCom Co-op trailer. In this video we show you how this gnarly beast was made, all the way from the concept art to something that you might not want to meet in a dark alley. -Mikael

GC11 was last week in Cologne, Germany, and it was huge. I mean lots of people, approximately 275k for the whole duration. Me and Ari Pulkkinen were there and spend most of our time at the business side in meetings, but then on Friday the business side closed and we had to venture out to the show floors.

When Pontius is not off on his adventures, he takes pride in maintaining his tiny ranch in top condition and tends to his various livestock/lunch meats. After all, he has a certain armor size to maintain. This video is a little look at how the farm landscape was put together. -Mikael

Another thing that you will learn in an indie setting is the power of multitasking, yes the kind where you can eat you lunch while coding and talking on the phone, but mostly […]
Ever wonder how much details are put into Trine? Well we are putting even more into the sequel. Here is a little look at how much details there actually are and also a little insight into why we are taking longer to finish the game. Perfection is not really possible but we try to be marginally close. 🙂 -Mikael
