@igunatsu @pixel_maniacs We started with the project 4 years ago, but had pauses in between :)

It's nostalgic to look back to the early days of designing! When we built the visual language, we also considered props and interior assets to achieve coherence. Some assets didn't make it into the final game. Find out which by playing ChromaGun 2 on February 12! 👀

We spent four years developing ChromaGun 2. How silly! We could have just used AI from the get-go 😋

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 👉️ 🚨 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 🧑‍💻
