The helmet came first
Before there was a story, a combat system or even a name, there was this battered red helmet. We drew it, we liked it, and then we spent six months building a game around it. Totally normal process.

Movement that feels good before it looks good
The dash went through roughly forty versions. Version thirty-nine sent the player through walls. We kept a recording of it for morale. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Mazk Munchies: four kinds of crunch, zero nutritional value.
What's next, and how to get involved
Next up: enemies that fight back properly, and a first closed playtest. Playtest invites go to Discord and the newsletter first. That's not a marketing trick, it's just where the people who care are. MAZK is coming to PC in 2027. A Steam page is on the way; once it's live, wishlisting is the single most helpful thing you can do for a tiny studio like ours. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. See you on Discord.
