We’ve improved the animation of Luna the dog from our game We Grew Up in War. What do you think? 🐕 This is from a child’s fantasy minigame, set in 2014 in Ukraine... #indiegame #gamedev #indiegames #dog

This scene from We Grew Up in War is set in Mariupol & inspired by the Mariupol theatre, which was used as a shelter until destroyed by Russia, killing many civilians. Anna & Valerie are anxious, waiting for a text from their father. But they need to charge the phone first... #indiegame #ukraine

When we started developing We Grew Up in War, we hoped the war in Ukraine will be over well before we finish. Our game is dedicated to all those, whose lives were affected by the war that now enters its fourth year, instigated by the cruel Russian regime.

Ondrej from Charles Games 🐝 @charlesgames.bsky.social · 18/02/2026

In our sixth year of existence, we have many plans for many games. This picturesque group photo might be a hint about one of them – we are currently starting to work on it with a help of an extra talented Noemi Valentíny. And we can’t wait to tell you more. Stay tuned.

And last, but not least, we had to document how Attentat 1942 depicts alcohol for the Indonesian regulators.🍸It can’t be helped – herr Sýkora drinks cognac when he’s insidously trying to seduce your grandma. #indiedev #gamedev #history #indiegame

At our studio, we often like to do create games the evidence-based way, testing if our idea for a transformative game works – and love spreading our knowledge. So if you care about narrative games and their transformative potential, read the recently published paper about We Grew Up in War👇

Ondrej from Charles Games 🐝 @charlesgames.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

New Indonesian rating system requires you to upload snippets of the "extreme" content of your game. Alas, Attentat 1942 has historically-accurate depiction of cigarettes, earning it "drugs" label. #indiegames #indiedev #history The scene in question:

As we get older in the studio, we start to see the shortness of a game as a plus – and lovely #ShortGamesShowcase by @ogrepixel.bsky.social is full of those! We discounted our own short game, Attentat 1942, to a historically unprecedented low. See you on the shorter side -> link in thread.
