The Team

Team

Initially, the game design was created by one person – Tomasz Rożyński. Work on the mechanics of the game took over a year. At that time, the Unreal Marketplace introduced a perfectly constructed framework that was gradually expanded.Other fighters have joined the project when it received financial support under the Creative Sectors Development Programme. The whole team have put their hearts into designing the game and we hope that – with your help – the Kashubian legends will come to life!
