Breakout Season

About

Breakout Season is an arcade roguelike game developed for PC. Currently available on Steam and Itch.io

It is the first commercial game release from my company Kakaos Collective.

The game was developed in a two-man team, together with my co-founder Bo Nyby.

Breakout Season started out as jam game for Nordic Game Jam 2024. Afterwards we spent 1.5 years of our free time developing it into a full game.

I acted as the main game designer and Bo was the main programmer for the project. Practically though, we both did a little of everything. Implementing features, making graphical assets and so on. 

As this was our first commercial game, we also learned a lot about all the aspects outside of building the game itself. Like doing marketing, running a company etc.

If you want to know more about how the game performed and what we learned, feel free to check out our post-mortem.
