Help us out! Doing a Nordic Game talk: "what NOT to do, to survive as a IndieDev". Covering topics like: "DON'T create your own engine", "DON'T innovate!" and "DON'T keep you IP". Would love more ideas for topics to cover! Will reward with totally unrelated silly talk photos!

DLSS-5’ing Gerda a Flame in Winter destroys the distinct visual style. Resembling our demo art-style experiments (see screenshots). DLSS5’s biggest potential is trading in any unique styling for increased fidelity… #GerdaAFlameInWinter #indiegame #narrative #DontNod #birdisland

Working on a new game. Still very early in the process, but we believe we might be onto something, in regards to the gameplay-audio design combo... What do you think? #indiegame #runbased #roguelite #RPG

It's been long enough since Gerda: A Flame in Winter released; time to unleash upon the web all the awful behind-the-scenes glitches and bloopers. Should we make it a weekly thing? Dunno 🤷🏽‍♀️ But let's start us off easy: with an endless loop of your favorite characters dying 💀😍 – at Copenhagen, Denmark

For Gerda, the Vestergaard mansion has always been her best friend's house, a place full of good memories. Today she has to put those aside and sneak around to find something that might help free Anders. #GAFIW
