changedRemaster? what, why ?In 2020 together with Wired Productions I released the Falconeer , my breakout solo developed game. And by all accounts it did really well, it even got nominated for a BAFTA and it was a Xbox Series Launch title. That last bit is important, cuz being required to Simship (that's an actual gamebiz word) Xbox and PC at the same time, during a pandemic isn't a Zen place to be. Every release is horror, but this one was pretty bad by every account. And let's be honest the PC launch suffered in many ways, some my own mistakes biting me, some consequences of releasing a indie console launch title in a week where both Xbox and Playstation where launching their next gen. But that is one part of this story, a chance at doing it better, the other part is that the Falconeer is a game about me, it is a deeply personal game related to mental health issues, burnout, conflict, anger and trying to escape the prisons we create for ourselves. You know, flying off into the sunset and all that... in 2024 I released Bulwark that was catered to steam, evolved with steam players over a year of playtesting and now nearly 18 months of solid post-release content and improvement. But it also left me a bit burned out, dealing with the games industry in 2023, 24,25 isn't great, you open up any industry news and it's not been happy reading. In 2023 my Dad also passed which didn't help either. So in the evenings of doing my dreamjob of making videogames, I spend my free time making a video game... again. I was relaxing by taking bits of Bulwark and sticking them into the Falconeer. Cuz that is my happy place. This has gotten a bit out of hand in '25 and at some point I was juggling two games and bringing improvements from Falconeer back into Bulwark and back and forth. But damn if it wasn't good, if it felt like I was finally making the Falconeer that was stuck under all that stress and obligation. And so here we are... and damned If I didn't have a deadline , the 5 year anniversary of the Falconeer in November 2025.

addedWhat is in this RemasterWell it is literally everything, I've ripped apart nearly every system. It's still the Falconeer underneath but it's also not. Lets look at a picture, cuz that tells one part of the story. Let's not beat about the bush, I am blazing with pride for this new Remaster, it looks insane. And it's been insane because not only did remake the warbirds and their animations, remade every location in the game, large and small... I also redid some of the core tech that is driving this textureless bonanza. There are now dynamic lights , you can see your tracer fire light up the environment, it's a proper spectacular game now. The Falconeer was one man striving 5 years to make epic from the ground up, the Remaster is one man taking 10 years of Solodev and pouring it all into making it epic.

Remaster? what, why ?

In 2020 together with Wired Productions I released the Falconeer , my breakout solo developed game.
