From indie developer and publisher Auroch Digital, each series explores our games that are currently in development, giving you insight into how we make titles like Brewmaster, Mars Horizon, The Colonists, Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics, Megaquarium, and Dark Future. We also discuss current topics within the Games Industry itself, like climate change and adapting to remote-working. We are currently working on titles such as Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun and Mars Horizon 2: The Search for Life
