It probably won’t surprise anyone that we spent December — and yes, even a bit of Christmas and New Year’s — with our robots and their world. And that journey continues into the new year: not a single day passes without new ideas being discussed, built, tested, rebuilt, tested again… and again… and again…

Machine Match has grown and evolved so much that it’s become something entirely new. And with that transformation comes a new name: Endless Machines.

If you haven't already, take a look at what’s in store for the future and the direction we're heading with the game.

Check out his ArtStation — he delivers some seriously cool artwork.


We truly love this world of robots we’ve created, and there’s so much we want to show you. But we’re taking our time to make sure it turns out just right — it’s super important to us that we have fun during the process, and we don’t want to rush it. It’ll be done when we decide it’s ready.

We’re really looking forward to sharing even more from Endless Machines over the coming months as the game develops — like the fast-travel underground metro system, eerie subterranean ruins, and the rather unpleasant corrupted areas… home to some even more unpleasant bosses.

Thanks for sticking with us on this journey. We hope you’ll stay with us for the exciting things ahead.

And remember:
There is no such thing as too many robots. 🤖

Hello everyone,

I wanted to provide you with a status update on the development of the next season of **With Eyes Closed**. The sixth chapter is now complete and marks the beginning of a new season. This chapter delves into two narrative threads based on your choices from the first season, with one path focusing on a romantic relationship with Eva and another alternative storyline involving Luna. As always, Kate will have a significant role, ensuring that there's something for everyone.


The new chapter includes:
- 422 renders
- 15,000 words
- 24 animations

I've made significant efforts to enhance the visual and auditory experience, improving the quality of renders, animations, and sound elements. My aim is to ensure that every scene resonates with you, both visually and emotionally.


In addition to the chapter's release on Patreon, I’m working on launching the Steam page for the new season, so keep an eye out for that. This upcoming season will be available on Steam only after it is fully completed, thoroughly tested, and free of any bugs.

If you wish to play during the development process or simply want to support me financially, you can do so on my Patreon. Please note that this is by no means necessary, as all updates regarding the development status will also be posted here on Steam. I actually recommend waiting for the complete season on Steam for the best experience, but if you’re eager to join the journey early, here is the link to my Patreon.

Thank you for your unwavering support and patience. Your feedback continues to be invaluable. Stay tuned for more updates here on Steam. I look forward to sharing more with you soon!
