From the workbench
Design decisions, things that were harder than they looked, art that landed. Real updates when there are real updates.
Out of the Box
Faster Circles, Tougher Choices
The first playtest of Out of the Box said the movement felt right and the circle was too slow. It now moves twice as fast, the pad stages ask you to pick a lane before you commit, and the Extreme rooms stopped being polite.

The Camp Becomes a Town
Stay on the island and it stops being a place you are stranded. The camp turns into a town, the trail between it and the beach gets lights strung over it, the homemade course gets a real first hole — and there are hot springs above the town.

The Island Builds a Golf Course
The storm put the ship on the rocks. What came after is a beach, a camp going up shelter by shelter, a path inland — and a meadow the survivors turn into a golf course you lay out yourself and then play.

A Little More Life Inside the Box
A new game joins the studio: Out of the Box, a minimalist action-puzzle about escaping twenty-five rooms and carrying a ring out of every one. Its latest pass gives the things inside the box faces, trails and weather.

The Command Bridge, and a New Chess Set
The storm at sea now happens where it should: up on the ship's bridge, with four officers, a helm and a wall of weather through the windows. And the lounge chess set has been redrawn.

Chess in the Lounge, and a Storm at Sea
The chess table on the cruise ship's cabin deck now opens a full game of chess. And the voyage itself has somewhere to go: one night the weather closes in and the ship ends up against an island.

Life Aboard the Par-adise Afloat
The cruise ship in the golf game used to feel empty. Now its pools are full of swimmers, its theaters are packed, and the buffet has a queue.

A Clubhouse, a Basement and a Cruise Ship
Three new places in the golf game: the inside of the clubhouse, a practice night in Cal's basement, and a cruise ship with the whole group aboard.

A Smoother Look
The golf game now draws with smooth edges instead of hard pixels, the menus got a cleaner finish, and the trailer has been recut with footage from the new build.

A First Look at the Golf RPG
Eighty seconds of the golf game as it stands: the swing, the course, the bag, the boss fights, a friend's basement, the cruise ship, a game of chess and a storm. Coming to Steam and Nintendo Switch.

Redrawn Bosses and a New Way to Dodge
All six bosses have been redrawn, the dodge is now a golf ball on a practice green, and the swing, the course and the club all got a pass too.

A Boss Before Every Shot
The golf game now has boss battles, and not as a side mode: every stroke on the course starts with one. Here is how they work, and what else changed on the course while they were being built.

A Rebuilt Club, and a First Build
Both games moved this week. The golf club was laid out again from the ground up, the golf game is now built for a controller on a desktop, and the second RPG has its first Windows build.
Untitled RPG II
A Grey Room and a White Circle
The first thing in the second RPG that you can actually move. It looks like almost nothing, and that is deliberate.

A Second RPG, and the First Look at It
There is a third project at the studio and it is already in development. A scattered family, a world that keeps rewriting itself, and something out there doing it on purpose.

Welcome to Anduin Games
An independent studio, its games, and a website to put them on. Here is what this place is for.

Making Gear Matter
The one line we will not cross: better equipment must not play the game. Here is how the bag stays honest.

Building a Range Worth Practicing On
A decorative driving range makes the loot loop hollow. Ours reports real numbers, remembers your session, and runs the exact same physics as the course.
