Earlier this month, I wrote a blog post explaining that in the last 1-2 years we have transitioned from an indie studio of 5 people to one of 50+. We’re growing fast and the growth continues. We’ve experienced some growing pains (like any expanding business does). We’re solving this by constantly improving our organizational and management processes, and by finding strong leaders for each project.

Lately you have been crying and demanding a new footage. Since we like spoiled kids, here is a small demonstration of our latest advancements in VRAGE rendering.

Last weekend we had Game Developers Session 2011 here in Prague. My company Keen Software House was the general partner of the conference. We were showing Miner Wars, people enjoyed it and they were surprised by Miner Wars 2.5D (which we haven't officially announced yet) - and they seemed to be really interested in it. It seems to be a good concept!

I want to show you the process of story writing, mission designing, voice-over recording / post-processing, game-play polishing and testing during the development of Miner Wars 2081.

I am very happy that I can finally introduce our general AI project that we have been working on here at Keen Software House. Just to be clear, this is not an AI for video games (although it could be used in games).

Hello, I am Ondrej Petrzilka, for those who don't know me I am the lead developer for Space and Medieval Engineers. I joined Keen Software House in 2011 as a game programmer for Miner Wars 2081 and since then I have worked on various projects in the studio mostly on the development of Space Engineers. In this blog post I would like to put some light on our current and future plans with Space Engineers. Currently we’re working on three big things: planets, scenarios and new multiplayer.
