Friday Update #1
11
Hello everyone!
We’ve been quiet on our blog. And that’s for a good reason… Up until now, The Grey Studios has only been fuelled by our passion for games and what we were able to do in our spare time. Of course this has always been less then satisfying and we’ve always dreamt of going full-time. And here’s the exciting part (cue trumpet fanfare):
At the end of last week this dream became reality and we are working on our games full-time now.
We started the process towards this almost a year ago (crazy!! time’s flying). We were approached by Nia Schmidheiny about potentially helping us out in starting the business. After some deliberation we decided to give it a go and take this step. It was an emotional ride with some mind-blowing highs and some very challenging lows. In the end it all worked out and we are now in an incredible position to get going 🙂
As you can imagine we are over the moon that we’ve been given this opportunity. We’re also fully aware that it’ll take a lot of hard work and time to get our business self-sustainable. We’re definitely up for the challenge and we’ll do whatever it takes to get there.
With this step, we’ve also decided to rebrand ourselves and will soon be operating under our new business name “Robotality”. New website, etc. is coming. Another thing: We’ll be posting an update on our development progress every Friday. Our first game is already in the pipeline and is currently undergoing the prototyping stage. More details next week! Make sure to check back next Friday.
To finish off, here’s a little picture of our new office space in Hameln:
Cheers,
Stefan & Simon
Great! I am anxious to see the news!
If you can, as much as possible, try to keep posting the adventures of becoming full time game developers. Will follow your rss.
Good luck from Brazil.
Thanks Daniel, much appreciated 🙂
We’ll try and communicate as much as possible and openly about our experiences.
Looking forward to your games! Good luck!
Thanks! 🙂
We hope to share some stuff soon.
Cheers
Simon
Congrats on the opportunity and good luck!
Nice little office you have there by the way. The sideway Expedit is a good idea for an office. Actually such a great idea that I’m going to steal it. 😉 My desk is so cluttered and the Expedit will fit nicely next to it and can hold the printer and all the potentially needed stuff.
Thanks!
The side ways expedit is definitly a nice thingy.
Cheers
Simon
Way to go guys ! =D
Good luck for this exciting adventure \o/
An adventure it is! 😀 Thanks!
Cheers

I suggest to invest in some nice basecap for Simon. On the photo it looks like his ‘Murmel’ will absorb some serious amount of sunshine in the next months. 😉
Oh well, we have some window shades now. That should protect my head enough for the time beeing! 🙂
Cool stuff guys!
Love the sun in your office and looking forward to see you and your games pretty soon!
Talk soon!
