Got to speak to one of my most wanted guests this week, the incredibly creative @tom.sokpop.co of @sokpop.co ! I've been a fan of Bernband for years so it was a thrill to chat with him about how it was made and the upcoming remake: open.spotify.com/episode/2Jv9...

had a nice talk about my upcoming game Bernband with the guardian 👍 www.theguardian.com/games/2025/a...
theguardian.com
Bernband’s alien landscape is the perfect place for digital wandering – just don’t expect a map
With distinct, discrete areas that you can visit at any time, this is not a traditional open world game, and resists gamification with the mantra ‘there’s no goal but to stroll’

My next game is BALL x PIT, a ball bouncing, base building roguelite. It’s been almost a decade since my first commercial release and this one feels like the culmination of all of my effort. The demo is out now on Steam, I’m excited to finally be able to share it with you all!

thank you! :) this announced version is what “bernband 2” was/would become. there will be some areas that hint to the original, and some scenes shown in GIFs in the previous years will also be present, although altered quite a lot. the short answer is: yes!
