RedDeerGames will release two video games based on the legendary Polish comics „Kayko and Kokosh”. Slavic superheroes will conquer the world!

RedDeerGames, a Polish studio that creates and publishes video games, has partnered with Janusz Christa’s „Kreska” Foundation. The agreement signed today gives RedDeerGames exclusive rights to release two games set in the universe known from the „Kayko and Kokosh” comics on the Nintendo Switch console.

COOPERATION WITH THE JANUSZ CHRISTA „KRESKA” FOUNDATION
The games will be created in cooperation with the Foundation, to reflect the spirit of the adventures of the brave Slavs as faithfully as possible. RedDeerGames plans to release them at the turn of 2021 and 2022.
 
– I’m impressed by the first projects sent by RedDeerGames even at the stage of contract negotiations. It is also important for us, as the Foundation, that we will be able to promote my grandfather’s comic book „Kayko and Kokosh” to fans of games on Nintendo Switch –  says Paulina Christa, president of the Kreska Foundation named after Janusz Christa, heir and granddaughter of Janusz Christa.

After the contracts for the animated series „Kayko and Kokosh”, which can now be watched on Netflix, the continuation of the cult series „Kayko and Kokosh New Adventures and the integrals, which are being prepared by Egmont, or the musical which is to premiere in September this year at the Syrena Theatre in Warsaw” Paulina Christa lists this as a key project for the Foundation.

– I hope that thanks to it we will not only enter the world market with the „Kayko and Kokosh” brand, but, above all, we will dynamically attract new fans of Polish comics from other countries. Next year we will celebrate the 50th anniversary of Kayko and Kokosh, and this cooperation will allow us to build an even bigger universe of Janusz Christy’s Slavic warriors – she adds.

KAYKO AND KOKOSH – SLAVIC SUPERHEROES
Kayko and Kokosh debuted in comic books written by Janusz Christy in the 1970s and quickly gained great popularity in Poland. Recently, the global audience could watch them in an animated series available on the Netflix streaming platform.
 
The comic is often referred to as Polish „Asterix and Obelix”, but its origins as „Kajtek and Koko” (the ancestors of Kayko and Kokosh) dates back to the 1950s, before René Goscinny’s work.
 
The series tells the adventures of two Slavic warriors. It’s aimed at children, but also loved by adults, full of humour and references to Slavic traditions. It has gained a cult following in Poland; it is the absolute foundation of Polish comics.
 
– Cooperation with Janusz Christa’s Kreska Foundation is an honor and a great pleasure. Our mission is clear: to create games that comic book fans will love, but also to present these characters and the universe to a global audience. We believe that Kayko and Kokosh deserve it – says Michał M. Lisiecki, CEO of RedDeerGames.
 
– We are glad that Netflix also sees this potential. We are sure that thanks to our competences in promoting and selling games on many world markets we will be able to successfully achieve this goal – he adds.
 
For now, it remains a mystery which genres the games will belong to. The developers only reveal that they will use the experience they gained while working on 7 Horizons – a comic arcade game for PC, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One, as well as Series S|X.

Finally! The official ART SQOOL font is available to everyone

Due to the upcoming launch of ART SQOOL on Nintendo Switch Julian Glander has released a famous font that was used in the game. Now it’s available for free.

– Rounded, geometric san serif forms reduced to their most primitive elements, like a handwriting instruction sheet. Slightly uneven kerning to imitate the sloppy education feel of rub-on letters – describes Glander.

– Use the letters spaced closely for an off-kilter feel, or spread far apart for a really high end design-y look – he adds.

Art Sqool will launch on Nintendo Switch on November 19th.

ART SQOOL gets a release date on Nintendo Switch. Pre-order starts today

For all artists who can’t wait for the most awesome school to open on Nintendo Switch, we have great news. It’s on November 19th! The game made by Julian Glander is going to be published by RedDeerGames.

Furthermore, from November 5th you will be able to make a preorder—and catch the game with 30% off. At least that’s what the coolest blob in the world, Froshmin, says.

But what is Art Sqool?
It’s a fun, weird game that stimulates creativity. As a new student, Froshmin, you’re hanging around the campus and drawing absolutely brilliant works that are judged by a perfectly objective and flawless AI professor.

Have you ever had the syndrome of the terrifying white abyss of a blank page? Just grab the console and the world’s smartest teacher will give you a lot of prompts that will help you to overcome your creative block. Unusual surroundings, brushes, and color palette not from this world will awaken the power of creativity in every blob.

What if I can’t draw?
You don’t have to! Art Sqool has been made in such a way that even Leonardo da Vinci would have scribbled in it. So get rid of the baggage of the cruel perfectionist and let the creation be pure fun.

Go around the whole campus
Look into all corners and collect all colors and tools. Do you prefer to draw with a wiggle brush or rainbow pencil? Or maybe with a mop? One thing is for sure—you will love how Art Sqool uses the touch screen, whether you paint on it with your finger or stylus.

Have a good time with your creativity
Relax and draw all the things you have never know you wanted to draw. On November 19th Froshmin will be waiting for you in Art Sqool.

Who is Julian Glander?
The game is made by Julian Glander, a 3D artist based in Brooklyn. His illustration and animation clients include Adult Swim, WIRED, and the New York Times. His short film Bloop’s Birthday premiered at SXSW. His comic series, Susan Something, was selected for the 2018 Best American Comics anthology.
