2025 Recap

Posted on by

Just a small, quick post at the end of the year.

Relic Abyss

This is still what I have been doing most of this year. Progress is steady, and we accomplished a lot in 2025!

🚀 Released our first demo on Steam!
🤝 Signed a deal with our new publisher, Mameshiba Games.
🎮 Participated in Steam Next Fest and several other gaming festivals.
🌍 Localized the demo into 9 different languages.
🎬 Produced 2 brand-new trailers, one of which is featured on PlayStation Japan’s YouTube channel.
⏳ Decided to polish our Early Access release further (it’s coming soon, we just need a little more time!).
⭐ Surpassed 10,000 wishlists!

We’re still hard at work finishing up the Early Access version for February 2026. We hope you’re looking forward to it as much as we are!

Gaming

Here’s a list of the games I played and finished in 2025, mostly played on the Nintendo Switch and PC.

Movies / Anime

Starting this year, I intend to add a new section to these yearly recap blog posts, which will be a list of movies and anime that I watched throughout the year!

  • Sandland
  • Under the Open Sky
  • Godzilla Minus One
  • The Imaginary
  • Perfect Days
  • Wolf Children
  • Demon Slayer
  • Demon Slayer – The Movie: Infinity Castle
  • 18×2 Beyond Youthful Days
  • That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (Season 1)
  • Chainsaw Man
  • Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc
  • The Kings of the World
  • Sirât
  • Linda Linda Linda
  • Finch
  • Look Back

This year might be the year that I watch the most movies at the cinema, all thanks to film festivals, where you can watch for free.

Watching movies is a good source of inspiration for game development and life in general 🙂

2026

For 2026, I need to lock in during the first half of the year to complete the Early Access version of Relic Abyss and continue working on future updates leading up to the game’s full launch. After that, I hope to finally have a vacation trip.

That’s all for now! Wishing everyone a Happy New Year and all the best for 2026~ 🥳🎉
