Today I’m going to discuss the most important technology we use for creating our game’s core narrative elements. Part of our success as a 12-person independent developer stems from choosing the right technology for the right job. And when it comes to writing and...

Hey, this is Joe, the creative director of JOIN US.We made a social post last Christmas. There were cult people dancing with Santa hats. In the end we wrote "Coming 2026. Because The Apocalypse Doesn't Push Its Release Date". We thought it was a good line. Not hilarious, but a solid 6/10. And that was the plan. Exceeeept... ...we're going to push the release date of JOIN US to MARCH 2027. But it's...

JOIN US - Dev Updates!Hello from the dev side! This is Joe the Creative Director. I was sitting around working on the tutorial, and realized I hadn't posted anything on the blogs for 2 months. I promise we've been working on the game and not slacking off. Actually, we've been really busy with the game. But we did slack on blogs. In our defense, we made TikToks. Also, everyone on our team got sick....

Hi, it's Joe, creative director on JOIN US. We made a cult game. Last September, we made a trailer for our cult game so that people would know it existed. We were pretty proud of our trailer.

Hey, it's Pierre-Olivier Chartrand, Technical Director at Wolf Haus Games. I wanted to give a quick overview of our co-op multiplayer setup for Join Us. We're huge fans of games like Valheim, State of Decay, Project Zomboid, and The Forest - so supporting multiplayer from day one was non-negotiable for us.Riding farm animals at sunset is better with friends.You get those moments like splitting up ...

My name is Dooma Wendschuh and I used to write AAA games. Teams hundreds strong. Huge budgets. Endless days, blurring together: screenwriting software, narrative flow charts. That smell of the studio that I just can’t forget. Even longer days with actors in the voiceover booth. Thousands of lines, pick the best ones. Traveling - on planes… a lot. Microwave Indian food at the studio in Morocco. V...

Here a sample of the Hero Suite score here: Dear Cultists,Ben Bostick the composer here. Greetings from Atlanta, GA, where I sit in my studio taking a brief break from scoring the magnificent, glorious end scene of Join Us. Too many great stories have disappointing endings—not this one.
