Interview With Imagine Earth Developer Serious Bros. – Brothers Across The Universe And Platforms
- Imagine Earth, a city-builder, is a video game that has been around for over a decade, and despite having not had a big sales moment, has slowly and surely found a community of players that stick with it, who keep coming back with each new update.
- Developer Serious Bros. consists of two people, German game developers Martin Wahnschaffe and Jens Isensee, who met when they worked on a school project, that eventually became Imagine Earth.
- Imagine Earth's co-founders talk about their origin story, what’s coming next, and their feelings as we come to an end of a chapter.
- Serious Bros has been working on Imagine Earth for more than a decade while each of them doing other things.
- They hope the players get high-quality gaming experience and have access to an unusual closed-ecosystem world simulator.
- Serious Bros haven't decided yet on future projects after Imagine Earth but they hope to create something smaller, with a serious topic, maybe not so time-consuming and definitely with decent funding.
- The game is now available on PS5 and PS4.
- Serious Bros. learnt a valuable lesson, that it’s often better to not build something until they feel that it’s really perfect and then check; instead, have more iterations and more feedback loops.
- Imagine Earth has evolved into a good, calm, and wholesome low-stress gaming experience.
- It's an open experience, wherein players can wreck their planet or make a total wasteland out of it, let the polar caps melt, and the sea levels rise in the game that becomes a ‘climate crisis survival thriller’.

Interview With Rooster Team Sticky Brain Studios – Really Great People Doing Really Great Work
- Sticky Brain Studios is a small development team in Toronto that aims to bring the culturally-rich game, Rooster, to life. The story is centered around the Chinese Zodiac and aims to teach players about learning how to apologize and own up to their mistakes. Sticky Brain Studios aims to create a working environment that lifts the team to express themselves to their fullest and feel safe to push their work to new heights. The team seems to have good chemistry, which is the driving force behind their collaboration, creativity, and communication techniques.
- Rooster is inspired by Chinese culture but is not historically accurate as the development team focused heavily on creating a game that's respectful of the culture they're representing in its totality, which includes modern changes compared to ancient traditions. The game's setting is based on the Tang dynasty, and some modern aspects of Chinese culture have been added to it. The team's diverse backgrounds helped to bring out the best in the game, and Rooster's edutainment aspect is an added bonus.
- Sticky Brain Studios is trying to create a studio that is deeply collaborative, communicates constantly and focuses on creating a space for game development that is as optimal as possible to everyone on the team and their strengths. The team sees more importance in making the games they want to create, and an influx of cash wouldn’t mean they’d make a massive game that costs millions. They believe that it’s best to create a working environment that lifts the team to express themselves to their fullest potential and feel safe to push their work to new heights.
- Grow Still, a coming of age story, is Sticky Brain Studios' next project. The game is very different from Rooster and won't have the same cultural bent, but it will be of a similar scale. Rooster is set to arrive sometime in Spring 2025, and the team can't wait for players to experience their creation.
