Hello everyone,
The celebration week for Furi has now come to a close.

We’re so grateful and humbled to have an amazing community such as this one.

In case you missed it, we posted an article about all the behind the scenes that went into making Furi.

In addition, we also had a in-depth analysis by our Boss Designer, Benjamin about what it took to create the Boss Burst and the challenges around her creation:

The music of Furi is so integral and important to us, and it’s also equally as important to us to keep supporting the artists. We encourage you to check out the thread we created about what all the artists have been up to since the release of Furi:

Between September 11th and 17th, we are celebrating Furi's amazing community. You can check more details here (LINK).

Benjamin Le Moullec was the combat designer for Furi (and he is now working on the boss fights for Cyberpunk 2077!). For this special occasion, he agreed to return to the fight against The Burst to give you some insights on the design of this very special boss. We know The Burst has seen a few of you throw their controllers at their screens, and she also gave you the immense satisfaction of finally defeating her...

"You can't see me, but I can see you." - The Burst

What the whole idea behind The Burst combat design and mechanics? How did he manage to balance it? What are the best tips to beat her?

If you want to know, you can watch it now on YouTube.



We hope you will enjoy it!

Simon "Hutt" Troussellier was one of the concept artists who contributed the most to Furi. He created many of the environments you explore in the game, and gave a lot of personality to the guardians jail worlds.



For one hour, you will be able to see him drawing live one environment from Furi, while listening to the great Furi soundtrack!

The livestream will start at 11 AM CEST / 2 AM PT on September 15th and will last for one hour on Twitch, YouTube and Steam.

The Game Bakers Team

Hello everyone,

As you probably know, we are working on our upcoming game: Haven. In Haven you share the journey of two lovers escaped to a lost planet in a desperate attempt to stay together. You play as Yu and Kay, gliding over the grasslands of a shattered planet, unravelling its mysteries looking for a way to settle down.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/983970/Haven/

We are happy to announce that he collaboration between DANGER and The Game Bakers continues after the success of Furi's award winning original soundtrack with more than 30 000 albums sold, 42 million listeners on YouTube and another 41 million on the streaming platforms. Now, let's talk about music!

Have you ever linked a moment in time, a place, and a piece of music together? Do you know that feeling when you hear a song and it brings back memories of a whole chunk of your life? These songs become the soundtrack of your life. In Haven, that's what we wanted to do as well. Haven is a moment of your life spent with Yu and Kay, alone on a deserted planet, Source. Haven's soundtrack is like Source: a place. A place where you will forge memories and that we hope will stay with you after you finished the game and turned off the TV.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1294690/442_Still_Free_from_Haven_Soundtrack/

This is the challenge we gave to DANGER who, we are happy to confirm, is composing the full original soundtrack for the game. You already know DANGER, French electro musician with one foot in the world of music and the other in computer graphics and gaming. He is returning to the spotlight after his first albums "太鼓" and “Origins”, and his work on Furi, (remember 6:24 and 7:53 ?!).

We're making the first single of the original soundtrack 4:42 Still Free available today. You can listen to it on Steam, Youtube, Bandcamp and other platforms.
Also check this exclusive interview of DANGER HERE.

More information will be revealed about the album in the months closer to the game launch later this year. To stay up to date with the game news you can join our Discord Server!

Enjoy!

As you probably know, we are working on our upcoming game: Haven. In Haven you share the journey of two lovers escaped to a lost planet in a desperate attempt to stay together. You play as Yu and Kay, gliding over the grasslands of a shattered planet, unravelling its mysteries looking for a way to settle down. 

Today we are happy to unveil the opening movie for Haven, the video which will welcome you every time you start the game.  The opening was created and directed by Yukio Takatsu - a specialist of anime openings, with the collaboration of Yapiko Animation and on an original music by Danger. You probably remember Danger for his amazing work on Furi's soundtrack.

Haven is a very different game from Furi, but still the two games share a lot. Haven is a game about freedom and love, two themes that were essential to Furi too. We hope you enjoy the opening movie and it makes you curious about our next game!



You can read the full blogpost from Emeric Thoa, our Creative Director on our Devblog.

Haven will be available for PC, Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4 and Xbox Game Pass in 2020.

You are welcome to join us on our our Discord Server to share your thoughts on Furi or Haven.

Finally we can show you more about Haven!

There are many special moments during the development of a game but the first time you disclose the gameplay of your game to the public is certainly one of the most exciting ones.

So check the gameplay trailer here:
https://youtu.be/ragUUT9bsFQ
And then read a few words from Emeric Thoa the game creative director about the intentions and influences for Haven, and tell us what you think.

Emeric will also be holding a Q&A on Discord server Monday July 15th at 21h CEST - 12h00 PT. You know the way to our Discord to ask your questions!

Last we hope to see you at PAX West where we'll have a demo for you to try, come and meet us!

Share the journey of two lovers, escaped to a lost planet in a desperate attempt to stay together. Glide over the grasslands of a shattered planet, unraveling its mysteries to find a way to settle for good.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Haven is a story-rich adventure, with touching characters with whom you fall in love as you follow them through their challenges and everyday life. But it’s also a (J)RPG with an innovative combat system that lets you play the two characters at the same time, and chain actions using tactics and timing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The colorful and dreamy art direction of the light science fiction world of Haven is coming to life thanks to an original electro soundtrack by Danger, with a range of tracks that will carry players from the energy of a sunny morning to the tension of a fight in the mountains at night.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Haven is a solo game at its core, but at any time, a second player can jump in locally. Players can then share a moment of exploration and progression together.
