- Steam Open World Sale - 27 May 2021
Howdy! Our game Kalaban is currently on Steam Open World sale, ending on May 31, 2021. If you haven't acquired the game yet, or want to purchase it for a friend as a gift, now is the perfect time to do so! Since the original launch in 2016 we have welcomed more than 47,000 players onto the game. We're really happy to hear that players around the world have finally found our game, since it largely went unnoticed upon launch. Kalaban is also available on Humble Bundle store and GreenManGaming site, if you prefer those retailers. If you haven't checked out newest game Enemy Remains yet, it's currently in early access. Since its launch in February we've made huge updates into the game experience, implementing story content into the main campaign, and major visual and gameplay improvements. We also released a new story-oriented demo after receiving a lot of feedback of the old demo version.…
- Enemy Remains launched! - 11 February 2021
Howdy! Our new title Enemy Remains is now on Steam early access and available for Windows, Mac and Linux platforms. The game is an intense blend of topdown action and survival horror. While continuing the legacy built by Kalaban, the game is not a direct sequel and does not require playing the first game to enjoy. We've been especially happy with the visual fidelity that we've been able to bring with this new generation release. The game can be played solo or with a friend in couch co-op, and this time we've taken special care to include game controller support out-the-box. Many simple quality of life improvements also include graphics settings, such as custom resolution and graphics quality settings, which were one of the most requested features for Kalaban. Enemy Remains is currently on launch sale for 40% off -- so grab your copy now to get the game for an especially low price. Happy…
- Version 1.2.2 released! - 25 October 2020
Howdy! It's nice to see our game gaining more popularity, with more streamers and reviewers discovering the product. We've been hard at work creating new games for all of you to enjoy, and we're gonna share some recent updates with you. But first let's talk about Kalaban. It's been almost four years since the original launch, and nearly six years since the project was first envisioned. That is a really long time in the business as most games, indie or big, come and go so quickly. I've spent the last couple weeks overhauling the game's code, dusting off the old tomes of programming and art that are linked to this project. I've made a lot of improvements, and couple of overhauls that I wish you players will appreciate. As always, I hold keeping the original game in high regard, and I have no wish to re-do the whole project, and if I ever start such a remastering project, it will be a sepa…
- Kalaban has reached 35 000 players! - 29 December 2019
Hello there! We just wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of our players for making this milestone. Our game is part of the Jingle Jam 2019 bundle on Humble Bundle, and through this awesome opportunity we have gained a lot of new players. Kalaban's development began in November 2014, and we started developing the current version of the game in late January 2015. Two years later the game was released on Steam, to a small audience of fans. The game has divided players, and while others really love it and understand what it's trying to achieve, others just write it off as a trashy little indie game. If you have played Kalaban and enjoyed it, we would appreciate a review from you. Spread the love! Our game is now on anniversary sale, plus we have put our other game Area 51 Defense on sale also. We can't wait for the year 2020, and all new challenges it will bring. Thanks for this ye…

The summer is here, and the heat in Finland is immense. Seriously, I thought last year we had a fantastic summer up here in the Far North, but now it's been even crazier. During midsummer, last weekend that is, I witnessed huge thunder storms and sunshine during one day. This year has been incredible so far, and a lot of stuff has happened. In February we released an RPG on the mobile called Crypts of Death, and its reception has been great! I've also been helping out on an unannounced horror shooter project, doing character art and additional code for it. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F27246793%2Fcfb6a7946a67c1c7c1b3968d599aeebc73b85866.png In March I created this prototype demo for a story-oriented action-adventure game, call…

This time we have a smaller update than usual, focusing on some of the newest issues that our community has reported. Here's the fixlist: Fix for the scene transitions. Fix for UI handling. Minor story fix. Hardware store door trigger fixed. Bramble monster collision model revised. Hopefully this version is a more stable experience than the previous 1.1.9.

My birthday is coming up, so I decided to put Kalaban and its soundtrack on sale to celebrate it. As you might now, Kalaban went largely unnoticed by the gaming press when it was launched, so since then I have strived to gain some recognition for it. Recently I added Kalaban to the HumbleBundle store, and I have tried to get it on GOG.com multiple times, but without results. I've been especially happy to see new streamers and players taking on the game, and even seeing John Wolfe doing a video on it. I hope you guys enjoy the newest version of the game, and I'm happy to hear that there is some demand for a sequel or a follow-up for this type of game. If you have suggestions for improving the game, or some requested features, I'd be happy to hear them. Hap…

Our spring sale 2019 is approaching, and we wanted to give the game a new update to celebrate it! We've fixed some issues which the community noted in previous versions. Here's a list of all the improvements: UI controls updated slightly. UI description function updated. Minor fix to collision detection. Fix for the ground texture disappearing due to memory loss. Fix for the player movement right after loading screen. Map transition triggers now only work when you have stepped away from one. Fix for the attack cooldown after menus and dialogue screens. Door interaction trigger fix. Minor graphical fixes to scene backgrounds. Enemy spawn points slightly revised.

I have finished an update that's been on the works for almost a year and a half. This patch addresses some gameplay and graphical issues that the game has had for a long time. Here's a short list of the things fixed in this version: Auto-attack while you keep your Attack button down, and keep attacking through reload. The description box on objects has been altered. Esc on main menu will also act as a back function. Main menu intro can be skipped. Brightness setting fixed so that you cannot underset or overset the brightness. All the white edges on the level backgrounds fixed. WMV format on the Main menu background video clip. Paula & Kaarina quest bug fixed where you cannot get the item if they have left. Paula’s freezer taunt fixed after the story has g…
