History

Henry

Henry is a game prototype created by Leander Schneeberger and Tim Bürge in 2018 as part of an adventure game course at their studies. The project was chosen for various showcases and highlights. In 2020, together with Aaron Abt, they created a vertical slice for Henry, with the support of a pre-production grant from ProHelvetia. In 2021, after the release of Bamerang, they started developing on Henry more and in 2022 received a production grant by ProHelvetia, to support the further development of the game.

Bamerang

Created by Tim Bürge and Aaron Abt, the first prototype of "Bämeräng" won the SGDA Junior Swiss Game Award in 2016 and has been exhibited at various events and exhibitions. Encouraged by the positive feedback, they continued the development supported by a pre-production grant from Pro Helvetia in 2018. After their graduation in 2019, they decided to finish the development within a year of self funded part-time work. After a little bit more than a year, Bamerang launched April 22nd on the Nintendo Switch and Steam!
