Every activity & coverage in the first 24 hours massively helps us get the word out - We appreciate your support! โฅ๏ธ
This was quite a ride, timeline:
And, of course, big thanks to the team that has invested a large chunk of their lifetime working on this game! โฅ๏ธ
Also, huge thanks to PM Studios for being supportive all the time and trusting us as a team in this, to our families, friends, and industry colleagues, who have been very supportive during this long time.
This would not have been possible without the support of all the public funding (big shoutout to the FFF Bavaria & the digital ministry of Bavaria, to the German games funding, and the German Aerospace Center, which is handling those fundings!).
- 12 February 2025: Release of the game on all platforms!
Thanks to everybody for the ongoing support on this project. You really need a long breath to launch a video game from start to finish ๐
- August 2023: Signed deal with PM Studios
- August 2023 - December 2024: Production Phase of the game - co-funded by the German Games Fund
We never had a publisher before and only had experience with self-publishing games. We built a vertical slice that was highly targeted for publishers and even sent out custom builds per publisher, so that we could mention them in an easter egg within the 5-min demo. After maaaany calls and pitches:
- Jan 2022 (that is 4 years ago ๐คฏ), we started working on the concept of ChromaGun 2: Dye Hard, with support of the fantastic Bavarian games funding program of the FFF Bavaria
- March 2022 - August 2023: Working on a polished vertical slice, with the goal of finding a publisher for the game.

Care for some animation?
Describe the narrative in this storyboad. Wrong answers only!
In total, we worked 23.736 hours on ChomaGun 2: Dye Hard.
Here is an overview of how much each employee with a general contract of >20 h/week contributed to developing our game in the span of four years. On top of that we worked with interns, part time employees and freelancers.
More sparkly shader progression for ChromaGun 2! โจ The change is even more visible here.
Can we VENT for a minute? ๐ค
If you ever need to blow off some steam, try shooting the vents in ChromaGun 2. A new path might open for you ๐
Last #ScreenshotSaturday for ChromaGun 2 before we launch next week thursday! ๐ฑ
#gamerelease #indiedev #gamedev
We spent four years developing ChromaGun 2.
How silly!
We could have just used AI from the get-go ๐
To celebrate the release of ChromaGun 2: Dye Hard next week thursday, we're following our tradition to livestream the launch!
Join us on Twitch when we press the button ๐๏ธ ๐จ
The stream will be in German.
Some of our in-game visuals have changed quite a bit from the initial concepts.
For example, the CHROMATEC interior turned out even more... techy ๐งโ๐ป
It's #WishlistWednesday, my dude:ttes!
