Best in Play!

Monday, February 16th, 2015

Together with our swiss friends from Blindflug we have been awarded Best in Play by the GDC Play jury. We are looking forward to San Francisco, wow, it’s only two weeks!

Time to post some fireworks that happened in front of our studio at Pfingstweid (captured by Nicolas Büchi, lead tester & head of facility management at Feist).

GDC Play & New Video

Friday, February 6th, 2015

We will be at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco and Feist will be shown as part of the GDC Play exhibition. Do stop by at booth PL419 and try out the latest build!

As we’re preparing Feist for release, we’re looking for help marketing and/or publishing the game. If you think you could help us or know anyone that would be a great fit, please let us know!

The video above shows in-game footage from our latest build and the music from Tomek Kolczynski’s soundtrack for Feist. It has been a while since the last video and the game has changed tremendously. We hope you like how Feist’s grown.

The Music of Feist

Monday, February 2nd, 2015

As we write this, the soundtrack of Feist is nearing completion. Wow! We’re really happy how great it turned out and can’t wait to give you a preview in our upcoming trailer. The man behind the music is Tomek Kolczynski, who has done a marvelous job over the last months, composing a delicate and courageous soundtrack, which is able to refine the mood and atmosphere of Feist and at the same time brings the experience of the game to a whole new level.

Tomek is a musician and composer from Basel in Switzerland, his latest works include the music for the play «Volksrepublik Volkswagen» at the Schauspiel Hannover, the soundtrack for the documentary film «Journey to the Safest Place on Earth» or the J.S. Bach remix project «bachSpace». Check out his homepage Kold, where you can get more info and listen to more of his work.

If you’ve ever seen an earlier trailer of Feist or managed to play it at an exhibition, then you’ve heard the music of Portland-based musician Podington Bear, who graciously allowed us to use his tracks for the pre-release version. He made the great Sound of Picture production library with a ton of songs that can be used for free in non-commercial projects and licensed easily for commercial work. Also check out his homepage, where you can buy the Podington Bear albums and box set.
