Festfeuer tavern

Festfeuer Tavern is an indie game development studio based in Munich, Germany, home to two core members, TheFifthKing (Marcell) and Ryanocerou5 (Ryan). The two of them cover the wide range of skills required for game development, from concept to creation, and seek to create unique immersive worlds and experiences for the players. 

The games are built on three primary principles: Wonder, Challenge and Nostalgia. Each game provides the player an opportunity to be transported to a new world, heavily influenced by retro and analog themes, and challenge various skills in unique combos. Festfeuer Tavern seeks to invite young, curious adventurers inside, awaiting a plethora of unique, engaging and undeterred journeys just through those doors.

Design, programming, writing and voice acting are led by TheFifthKing.

Music, sounds, marketing and minor programming are led by Ryanocerou5.
