Fertile Publishing Grounds: Positive Impact Games & ByteRockers’ Games Plant Partnership for The Regreening
Indie publisher ByteRockers’ Games signs on The Regreening developer Positive Impact Games.
After a successful first venture into publishing last year with the relaxing kingdom-builder Let Them Trade by Spaceflower, followed by the promising partnership with the young talent creating the atmospheric poem-writing adventure OKU at Irox Games, this third title fully cements ByteRockers’ Games as a supporter of small studios with a strong vision.
“We are excited about the new partnership with a rising indie team that, at the same time, brings a wealth of industry experience. This women-led powerhouse of a studio impressed us right from the start, just as much as the core game idea of restoration itself. An important and beautiful topic without the usual ‘serious games’ touch. We aim to help this team achieve the success they absolutely deserve.” - Maik Reichelt, CEO of ByteRockers’ Games
The Regreening calls itself a soilpunk fairytale: a farming simulation about restoring a deserted world and getting back in touch with nature. Players meet ancient spirits based on Baltic folklore and explore the state of their new home at their own pace. The satisfying transformation of the environment through gardening, crafting, and befriending the local fauna captures the genuine joy of living in tune with your surroundings.
This is the debut game of Positive Impact Games: a Hamburg-based remote studio founded in 2024 by industry veterans who were awarded the Gamecity Hamburg Prototype Fund.
The studio is led by Managing Director Volha Kapitonava, an experienced Producer and Mentor with Marketing background. She is flanked by Creative Director Marie-Anne Hachey (prev. gamigo, THREAKS), Technical Director Merve Meszaros (Engineer with 10 years' experience and renowned Public Speaker), and Art Director Max Besseling (prev. Grinding Gear Games).
“Teaming up with ByteRockers' Games felt like finding
our people. Their excitement for The Regreening and their love for
meaningful, cozy games perfectly match where our hearts are. As a team
rooted in care, craft, and community, we couldn’t ask for a better partner to help us grow our first title.” - Volha Kapitonava, Managing Director of Positive Impact Games
As a team, they aim to make wholesome & cozy games that uplift, connect, and inspire change by addressing important contemporary topics. When asked what makes their games special, they cite “the power of play to transform” as core to designing games that build you up and strengthen the soul.
