\ WHAT HAVE WE DONE?! \
\ AGAIN! \
\ TRUST OUR TECHNOLUST! \
\ RAMapocalypse doesn’t stop us \
\ In times of high-end hardware becoming a privilege gatekept by megacorporations in the name of Pump-n-Dump - a new god of civilizational downward slope leading to sloppy slop setting new standards, we still believe in good old hardware in the hands of creators bringing human trailers and cinematix made with no-slop love. Come with us if you want to reach! Watch the proof if you don’t want to read! \
\ We started the second quarter of 2026 with MOUSE P. I. Launch Trailer - just a dot over the “i” in a perfect marketing campaign conducted by Fumi Games and PlaySide Studios . Over 1 Million players to this day and the numbers are rising! \
\ It was our first collab with Fumi but not our first time with the team behind the game. We’ve been around for so long we made some projects together in the past. Under a different name. In a different time. We happily took on the mantle of launch artists and with the support of the Publisher delivered the asset which we consider the greatest hits of Mouseburg! \

\ What if the game already sold in 1 million copies even before the launch? Do you even need a further marketing campaign? What is the purpose? Of course you want to sell another million. We’ve seen too many games buried by lack of marketing and too many games knotted so much around the community that the external world has no idea about its existence. Selling one more million and being recognized to get some awards paves the way for independence and… expensive hardware! \
\ In search of CLARITY in CHAOS we chose a power metal soundtrack to accompany the CO-OP survivor-like bullet heaven trailer of The Spell Brigade. The game is addictive. It’s an achievement to trailer its chaotic spirit while maintaining the clarity of the gameplay loop. The montage is about selling the feelings and experiences. Not sure how many copies of The Spell Brigade they sold to this day but 24-peaks at Steam DB seem ultra positive. Congratz Bolt Blaster Games ! \

\ In May our long lasting partnership with Aberratic came to fruition with our fourth (!) trailer of Symbiosis, a top-down co-op tower defense shooter with alien hybrids and more \
\ Making four different trailers for one particular game is what we do - and more than that if we need to. Same same but different one might say. But a skilled same same. And indeed different. This time we decided to get you familiar with narrative background and monsters through some cinematic sequences made with Unity \

\ June came very fast to surprise us all with Summer Game Fest events. Another year in a row - WHO KNEW?! Of course we’ve been cooking for this one. In a PLOT TWIST turn of event we returned to the Neon Western setting of EROSION \
\ Together with Lyrical Games we started 2026 with a Gameplay Trailer for a brand new event called NEW GAME PLUS SHOWCASE by Jake Lucky . Turns out the latest trailer for the game couldn’t have been a better candidate for The Mix event \

\ Hardware comes handy when orchestrating battles of hundreds of warriors. Literal hundreds. One of the biggest gameplay capture experiences we endured at Radikal ever. Second only to capturing a 1,5 hour long movie based on The Witcher 3 gameplay in 2025 \
\ Clashes involving poor freaking infantry, cavalry, archers and others require more than a good eye, a steady hand and clear comms between capture artists and devteam. The Hardware is the black magic here. Same graphic cards, RAM and capture cards which AI slop megacorporations are taking from us as we speak. Fortunately, Raw Power Games is a team of coders great enough to defy many constraints and deliver hundreds of virtual actors taking part in visceral battles as smooth as possible due to another good old trick from before vibe coding: A John Carmack style good old bold and smart programming. The proof created and cut by Tomasz Wikliński has been witnessed by hundreds of thousands of viewers of this year’s SGF hosted by Geoff Keighley \

\ No soulslike game comes without a swamp level. It’s unofficial rule to obey \
\ The Astronauts wouldn’t entirely agree that Witchfire is a soulslike, but many people from the internet already call it that so we can’t oppose the Hivemind. Right? Or should we? Well, we agree with the Hive, so setting up a proper narrative for the Marshlands included in the latest mega-update called The Revelations wasn’t a problem. As a bonus we had the opportunity to co-write the VO lines for Mrs. The Witch introduced here in person for the first time! BTW: Witchfire already sold at least half a million copies and it’s still in Early Access! It’s not even co-op friendslop game. It’s not multi at all. A good old shooter made by the fans of Destiny. We regret making trailers for it since 2022. Because we are jealous of all the people who will install it and play purely vanilla style; no staging, no spoilers, no god-mode for the capture artists \

\ Last but not least: enjoy the summer like Jan Dolski in LAST VARIABLE. The latest addition to THE ALTERS which started the Q3 Trailers roster at Radikal \
\ The next Radikal Zine is coming in October! BUT! Let’s meet in person at #Gamescom - see you in Cologne - The European Cathedral City of video games \
