I’m excited to share that my debut title Jarumi is currently in development. It has actually been in the works for quite some time. What began as a personal hobby that I worked on in between my day job slowly grew into something much bigger. Balancing both was difficult, and progress was often slower than I wanted. However, after parting ways with my employer in late 2024 to focus on game development full time, things have really picked up and development has been moving much faster.
So what is Jarumi? While the story is still evolving, the game is a fast-paced 3D action platformer centered around Jarumi, a lone warrior on a mission to stop an ancient, malevolent AI called Halaka who seeks to conquer the world. The game is inspired by classic platformers like Crash Bandicoot and takes place in a fantasy, prehistoric, tribal-themed universe. It aims to be gritty, energetic, and action-packed, while still bringing its own ideas and personality to the genre.
The game is currently planned for release later in 2026, and I’ll be sharing regular updates here as development continues.
