History

Tim Bürge, Aaron Abt and Leander Schneeberger met in 2016 during their Game Design studies at the Zurich University of the Arts. During their fourth semester, Tim and Leander created the first prototype for Henry Halfhead for an adventure games course. After their studies, Tim and Aaron continued on another student project, Bamerang, which they released in 2021 as Lululu Entertainment. After the release, the team decided to pick up the development of Henry Halfhead again.

Over the course of a year, the team revitalised the old prototype and refined its design and gameplay. Henry Halfhead has since been supported Swiss Arts Council ProHelvetia, twice with grants and with a spot in the SwissGames delegation to GamesCom, as well as by the Swiss Game Hub with a workspace and invaluable coaching from experienced Swiss game professionals including Philomena Schwab, co-founder of Stray Fawn Studio.

Henry Halfhead is currently starting its production phase and we will be happy to post more of its progress over the course of the next year.
