First off, a massive thanks to everyone - what a year this has been! ✋ High Five: We’re Five Last year, we celebrated five years of PixelAnt Games - a journey that continues to be driven by our love for games, teamwork, and an unwavering commitment to quality. 🛠️🤘 Back to Indie, Folks! 2025 also marked our bold new chapter for us, as we regained our studio's independence after several years as part of a larger group. As an independent studio, we’re continuing our mission to be the go-to partner for co-development and porting. 🏋️ Ports That Push Limits We broke new ground and took full ownership of our Nintendo Switch 2 ports - including certification process - and made sure our ports weren't compromises but true next-gen experiences, pushing systems to their caps. Hardware limits: politely ignored. 🏆 Shipping Polish, Not Promises Despite sometimes tight schedules, we delivered our projects on time and within budget - proving that “fast” and “good” can go hand in hand. This let us bring great games to new platforms and audiences while building strong partnerships with top-tier studios. 2025? ☑️Shipped. 2026, we’re coming for you 💪 Stay tuned!
