Shadow Bug’s Summer

Added by: Juha Ylimäki /


We had a busy summer and it’s only going to get more busy with Shadow Bug. As mentioned in the post before this one we were at Summer of Startups ’15 here in Helsinki. It’s an acceleration camp for Startups and we got a lot of great contacts and tips on how to do stuff as a startup!

We even got this nice office for our use during the summer. Also Veli, Kim and Shadow Bug casually planning stuff.

Totally recommending Summer of Startups for anyone planning to go with the startup route.

The Summer of Startups ’15 climaxed on the demo day of where we won the Best Pitch award! Go Shadow Bug! Go Muro Studios!

Smells like team spirit!

Summer went on while working on the Beta version of Shadow Bug.

We got to a documentary series from Yle (The Finnish Broadcasting Company) and got a nice spike to the attendance of Beta release.

We know how to party our Beta releases at Muro Studios. Also Veli recording some critical sounds for the Beta.

Summer went by super fast and we got valuable feedback from all of you who attended the Beta version. Thank you so much!

Autumn started with pitching for the THIRD time at Big Indie Pitch competition at Pocket Gamer Connects which was this time held here at Helsinki. There were 40 games in the competition and Shadow Bug got into the TOP5. How cool is that!
