A light in the dark, guiding the way.
Sometimes, you just need something to show you where to go.

🇬🇧 🐱Welcome to the game dev life!

In people’s minds: creating worlds, drawing, coding, bringing ideas to life...
In reality: 4 hours trying to figure out why THIS THING DOESN’T WORK. 😂

Tell us we’re not the only ones. 💀

🇫🇷 🐱Vis ma vie de game dev!

Dans la tête des gens : créer des univers, dessiner, coder, donner vie à ses idées...
Dans la réalité : 4 heures à chercher pourquoi CE TRUC NE MARCHE PAS. 😂

Dites-nous qu’on n’est pas les seuls. 💀

Creating doesn’t always mean knowing exactly where you’re going. It means searching, experimenting, layering and erasing. Right now at DraftGames, that process is taking the shape of a crab: we’re drawing by hand, working with layers and breaking down its different parts to figure out how they’ll move and work together once animated. Little by little, it’s becoming less about drawing “the right crab” and more about finding the identity that will truly bring it to life in his world.

Someone here told us they’d love to see it in purple… 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂? 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝗻?

Créer, ce n’est pas toujours savoir exactement où l’on va. C’est chercher, essayer, superposer, effacer. En ce moment chez DraftGames, cette recherche prend la forme d’un crabe : on dessine à la main, on travaille par calques, on décompose ses différentes parties pour comprendre comment elles pourront bouger et s’articuler une fois animées. Petit à petit, on cherche moins à dessiner « le bon crabe » qu’à trouver l’identité qui lui donnera vraiment vie dans son univers.

🇬🇧 We talk a lot about the games that stay with us, but not so much about what goes on in the minds of the people who create them.

𝗦𝗼, 𝘄𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀: 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗶𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹?
Drop your hidden gems in the comments.

And apparently, we still have quite a lot to tell you…

So if you’re curious about what goes on behind the scenes at a small Swiss indie studio, 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒖𝒔 👀

🇫🇷 On parle beaucoup des jeux qui nous marquent, mais un peu moins de ce qui se passe dans la tête des personnes qui les créent.

𝗔𝗹𝗼𝗿𝘀, 𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘂𝘅 : 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗹 𝗷𝗲𝘂 𝘃𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗮 𝗱𝗲́𝗷𝗮̀ 𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗰𝗵𝗲́ 𝗽𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝗲̀𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲 ?
On veut vos pépites en commentaire.

Et visiblement, on a encore pas mal de trucs à vous raconter… Alors si les coulisses d’un petit studio indé suisse vous intriguent....

A planet too old, slowly losing its memory.
Doomed to disappear, like everything that exists.

MEMORY is one of our first prototypes. It will probably never see the light of day, but some of its ideas might just find their way into a future game. 😏

Une planète trop vieille, qui perd peu à peu la mémoire.
Vouée à disparaître, comme tout ce qui existe.

MEMORY est l’un de nos premiers prototypes. Il ne verra probablement jamais le jour, mais certaines de ses idées pourraient bien se retrouver dans un prochain jeu. 😏

🇬🇧What do you think of this crab so far? Do you think it could work as a video game boss?

🇫🇷Que penses-tu de ce début de crabe ? Tu crois que ça peut faire un boss de jeu vidéo ?

🇺🇸 Just out of curiosity: which one do you prefer?
We wanted to show you some details from DuskSprings because, after all, we spent quite a bit of time on it... and even though we ended up dropping it, animating these two characters was honestly so much fun!

Also, let us know what you’d like to see from DraftGames in our upcoming posts. We’d really love to hear your ideas!
_________________________
🇫🇷 Simple curiosité : tu préfères lequel ?

On voulait vous montrer des détails de DuskSprings parce que, tout de même, on y a passé du temps... et même si on a laissé tombé, animer ces 2 personnages c’etait vraiment le kiffe!

Dis-nous aussi ce que tu aimerais voir de DraftGames dans nos prochains posts. On a vraiment envie de connaître tes idées !

🇬🇧 Would you have liked to play Dusk Springs?
Sometimes, the hardest part of making a game is knowing when to let go.
We spent about a year working on Dusk Springs — building systems, creating content, and slowly realizing that the project had grown far beyond what we could realistically handle as a small indie team.
It was a game we really wanted to make. But wanting to make a game and being able to finish it are two very different things. 😅
So we decided to stop.
It wasn't an easy decision, but we've learned a lot from the project — and hopefully, you'll see those lessons in what we make next.

--------------------------------------------------------

🇫🇷 Est-ce que tu aurais aimé jouer à Dusk Springs ?
Parfois, le plus difficile quand on crée un jeu, c’est de savoir quand il faut lâcher prise.
Nous avons passé environ un an à travailler sur Dusk Springs — à créer des systèmes, du contenu, et à réaliser petit à petit que le projet était devenu bien trop ambitieux pour ce que nous pouvions réellement gérer en tant que petite équipe indie.
C’est un jeu que nous avions vraiment envie de faire. Mais avoir envie de créer un jeu et être capable de le terminer sont deux choses très différentes. 😅
Alors nous avons décidé d’arrêter.
Ce n’était pas une décision facile, mais nous avons énormément appris grâce à ce projet — et tu retrouveras, on l’espère, ces leçons dans nos prochains jeux.

Want to see what game development really looks like?🫣
Follow us and let us know in the comments what you'd like to see next!

People have often told us we're better at making games than talking about them...

Honestly? They're probably right. 😅

So we figured we'd start showing you what goes on behind the scenes: the wins, the struggles, the late-night ideas, the ridiculous bugs, and the little victories that keep us going.

We can't promise to become social media experts overnight, but we'll do our best to stop being internet ghosts.

Welcome behind the scenes at Draft Games.🎮
