B2B SITE FOR (FUTURE) PUBLISHING PARTNERS
oct 17th, 2025 aaaaaah!
we sold to a big publisher in asia!
'Oh. This never happens', our Indian partner publisher says. Well, it did. A big asian publisher signed our contract straight away - directly on the fair. 16.000 books - to start with, he says. He'll join our ongoing printrun - we stopped the machines for a moment. INCREDIBLE!!!
oct 16th, 2025 OOOH MY!
LOTS OF NEW FANS
It's incredible how much resonance Luna and the first AR attempts have had with other publishers! Pure enthusiasm! Of course, it was farting Freddy in particular who made everyone laugh: no matter how old or young, no matter where in the world they came from: pure enthusiasm!
oct 14th, 2025 YEAH - WE CAN EVEN SHOW OUR FIRST AR STUFF!
LAST-MINUTE-AR
Georg and Christoph did not sleep for the last days :) - but now: YEAH! we're ready to show Luna and Freddy float and sing (and fart a bit). Here's our screencapture (quickly done in the hotel lobby in the morning before heading off). We're currently on testflight, working only on iOS - it's still in draft status - but really cool! YEAH! (ah, you can make Freddy fart by touching the screen :) - wonder how people will react to this!)
oct 12th, 2025 YEAH - HOW EXCITING! ALL PACKED AND READY TO GO TO
FRANKFURT BOOK FAIR
This year, we decided not to have a fair booth - but to walk around with our little Luna Octopus trolley - and talk to everybody we'd meet. Samples are packed, appointments made - ready to go! So much looking forward to showing our first steps in AR!
about 10 days before the mega grant deadline ...
YEAH YEAH YEAH - THEY ARE MOVING! :)
10 days before the Mega Grant deadline, Jonathan decided to quickly learn how to animate. Jonathan is actually an environment artist, but he has always been interested in animation. A few night shifts and many cups of coffee later: Ta-da! Here they are, Luna and Fredd - and they can move! We think, the result is pretty impressive!
