Using mushrooms and mold as an initial reference.

Happy 2026!
Coming back to the office, excited to keep polishing the combat of CRETE.
Here is some camera work, combined with an improved AI that reacts quicker than before.
The goal is to make sure that every fight feels unique, brutal and high-octane... even if I end up using my bow.

Decals in UE5

Using 2D drawings as decals so they look like glowing bas-relief in UE5.

Meet Hephaestus, the first boss encounter on CRETE

Reminder, CRETE is available now as alpha at www.cretegame.com

Why did I decide to start the development of CRETE years ago?
Exactly to get the coop moments we get today playing it.

The hardest game mode yet has dropped: Tartarus
Available now to all our backers, a true roguelike challenge.

There is always joy in rocket launchers.

All about timing.
Playtest live until wednesday.

CRETE is a cozy game.
Prove me wrong.

Big update. Introducing the new world generation system.
More organic, more surprising, more intricate, but always, always full of art direction and gameplay driven.

Another intense duel on CRETE.
Polishing the combat loop.

I hope this counts as pacifist run? yes or no?

Using carnivorous plants against enemies :)

2 years of Melee / Range balancing be like.

A bit of CRETE combat

Clymenes.

Introducing Clymenes.

One of the most terrifying hunter-type enemies you can find in CRETE.
