- WE ARE REMAKING IT, AGAIN. - 11 June 2026
About a year ago, I decided to remake No Strangers and called the project No Strangers 2.0.Unfortunately, I failed.Since then, we released two new games: Digital Market Simulator and SEVENS. However, because we didn't have an audience on social media, we were never really able to promote them properly. Both projects are still waiting to reach more players.This time, we don't want to repeat the same mistake.We're starting No Strangers 2.0 again, completely from scratch.And this time, I'm not working alone. I'm developing it together with Fero, who also worked with me on Digital Market Simulator and SEVENS. For the last month, we've been focused exclusively on the No Strangers remake.We're not rushing things.Our goal is to build a solid, scalable, and flexible foundation before anything else.Because of that, some of our plans for the future of the game have changed.No Strangers will now w…
- Try SEVENS Demo! You won't regret it. - 3 March 2026
We couldn’t attend Next Fest this time, so we’re doing things the old-school way.SEVENS turned out better than we expected — but without marketing, it’s hard to reach new players. If you enjoy competitive, slightly chaotic card games with friends (or strangers), give the demo a shot. And if you like what you see, adding it to your wishlist helps more than you think.There’s a server list, voice chat, bots that actually fight back, and a gritty underground vibe.Only two of us are building this game day and night. No publisher. No marketing team. Just pure indie energy.I made the cover image intentionally stupid.If I had made a “good” looking one, it probably would’ve drowned among the other announcements.But if you clicked this thinking “what the hell is this?”, then it worked.Hope you enjoy it.Take care.
- SEVENS Steam Store Page Is Live - 11 February 2026
SEVENS Store Page Is Live 🎉 We’re excited to share that the Steam store page for SEVENS is now live. SEVENS is a competitive card experience we’ve been developing for some time — playable both online with others and against bots. Our goal has been simple: take the classic card gameplay many of us grew up with and make it faster, more interactive, and more chaotic in the best ways. If that sounds like something you’d enjoy, we’d really appreciate you taking a moment to visit the store page and add the game to your wishlist ⭐. It genuinely helps visibility and supports development more than you might think.

- Creating No Strangers 2.0 From Scratch - 23 July 2025
Hello, You may know me as Xeirel. Today, I’d like to share my thoughts with you not just as a game developer, but also as a fellow player. This post is packed with updates and details — but most importantly, it’s about how I’ve started rebuilding No Strangers from scratch. 🎮 The First Birth of No Strangers Originally, No Strangers was a test project I started during university. I had some experience with Unity, but I had never developed a multiplayer game before. Back then, although Mirror Networking was easier to learn, I chose to use Unity’s Netcode for GameObjects. Throughout development, I tried to learn, experiment, and implement features by trial and error. Unfortunately, over time this caused the project to become overly complex and nearly impossible to maintain. Looking back at my old source code... I often can’t even tell what I was thinking 😅 Thankfully, I’ve gained a lot of…

- Join Us And Be Part Of The Game! - 12 November 2024
Hello, my dear players, Since I changed my phone and Steam Guard device, I have a 72-hour restriction on my account, so I won't be able to release version 1.0.3 to the public branch for the remaining 2 days. In this version, I fixed things like Japanese font bugs, map bugs, and added an interface for lobby settings while in the waiting area, so you can adjust simple settings such as the number of player killers who are hosts, the number of protectors, etc. Other than that, I've made a lot of fixes and I'd like to thank the nice people here on Discord for letting me know about some bugs and ideas. For those of you who know me, I take care of my community and I'm there as much as I can be. I can't develop very fast on my own, but I try to keep the game up to date as much as I can, and a lot of that is based on what you guys want, sometimes by voting or taking note of your ideas. You can b…
- 09.11.2024 Update Log 2 + Developer Note - 9 November 2024
Changes Dynamic font atlasses disabled. Developer Note I fixed the font settings, which was the cause of the most common crashing issue for Asian players, so you will no longer experience crashing when there are many players.
- 09.11.2024 Update Log + Developer Note - 9 November 2024
Changes Fixed an issue where server lists were sometimes missing or incomplete. Developer Note Yeah... a few scriptkids were sending null data to the lobbies to cause an error and not load the list.

- DO NOT BELIEVE THE SCAMMERS! - 4 November 2024
Hello, Based on the latest information I have received and the video recordings I have seen, do not believe people who introduce themselves as DEVELOPERS or TEAM MEMBERS in the game! (They also give my name or the names of people in my team in the game, don't forget them) I'm the only developer in the game, and you can tell it's me by the yellow particles on my head and the developer and company icon to the left of my name in the player list. There are no visual features that distinguish our friends in the security area, but if you are a host, you will see that you can't kick them off the server, so you can tell. We investigate these amateur liars one by one and ban them permanently, but they can come with different accounts or as different people. They don't do it because they think it will be cool, I think there is a bad intention in it.
