| BRUSHLAND - a new game from MM, but nobody dies | 2026-10-17 | Hi,I’ve just announced my new game: BRUSHLAND, on Steam.Fair warning, it’s not what you’d expect from me. For over twenty years I made brutal games but I've got little kids at home now. And being a true indie developer I work where they play. So whatever is on my screen, they’re watching too. Hence... Brushland. In Brushland you paint the land and a whole kingdom builds itself. Boats bring villagers, the houses design themselves around your brush, and the village grows into a fairytale castle inspired by Neuschwanstein. Coming to Windows, Mac, Linux and Steam Deck. Demo in Q1 2027, full launch in Q2 2027. WISHLIST NOW!Have fun, MM |
| JACKAL IS LIVE! - from the creator of Soldat | 2026-02-05 | Jackal kicks the door wide open with its ultraviolent launch on Steam.Welcome to Las Vegas 1970s — when presidents could be impeached for just lying and the mob's territory was only Vegas. Why it Hurts So Good:Rooms shift. Layouts change. No run is ever safe.Chemical superpowers: faster, stronger, higher — until you crash.Brutal finishers: not just endings, but punchlines.Inspired by the sickest, bleediest pop-culture nightmares: Hotline Miami, Pulp Fiction, Fear & Loathing. "Jackal combines my love of John Wick fight scenes, Scorsese's mobsters, Tarantino's storytelling, and the soul of the 1970s," says Marcinkowski, presumably while cacklin |
| Jackal - from the creator of Soldat - Demo Available | 2025-09-15 | You're a drug-enhanced hitman with the moral compass of a broken slot machine, turning iconic Vegas hotels into impromptu abattoirs. Every table, chair, and kitchen utensil becomes a weapon in your hands because apparently, even the cutlery wants in on the action.WATCH THE TRAILER:Welcome to the demo of the definitive top-down murder simulator where mobsters become meat puppets and physics is just another drug.

| Change of guard | 2022-05-25 | In the wake of recent events in the Soldat community, I think, everyone felt the need for some kind of change and resolution. Trying to help with the situation I only discovered I can't help much, because Soldat needs a strong leadership and management. Not only from the community side, but it needs a developer effort. Unfortunately I can't provide that because my efforts are entirely focused on Soldat 2. Out of this seeming despair a solution sprang out during the last few weeks. I have been contacted by a team of individuals offering to take over Soldat and help fix everything that is currently wrong. At first I was skeptical, but after muc |

| Soldat 1.8 has been released as open source! | 2020-05-25 | I still remember the game I started making which was the beginning of Soldat. I was in high school 2000/2001 and in my free time I was coding a game called “Strike of the Dragon”. It was a karate platformer. Something like Karateka by Jordan Mechner but based on ragdoll physics. If I’m not mistaken, the first game ever to have ragdolls was Hitman (released in 2000) and the paper written by one of its creators inspired me to do ragdolls in 2D (so I think, Soldat was the first published 2D game ever to have ragdoll physics). “Strike of the Dragon” had platformer tile-based maps and when I conceived Soldat in my mind I knew I wanted to make some |

So for over 2 years now I have been making Soldat 2 which will soon be available in Early Access. But right now you can already play the Soldat 2 demo for free!
