La Poule Noire

Hi everyone, long time no see. The global video game economy was bad in 2024, and it got worse in 2025. We had hoped that it wouldn't affect us, but it did. 2025 has been a rough year for us. Seed by Seed is experiencing significant financial difficulties, and we have to pause our creative activities. We're not closing the studio, but we had to let go most of our employees (understand: we fired ourselves) and we'll now focus on contract work to stabilize our company. Seed by Seed still exists with a few persons that will maintain our games as much as they possibly can. Nevertheless, Baladins will soon be released on consoles, and more is to come for Jump the Track. The Seed by Seed team sends lots of love to everyone who has helped us on our creative journey so far. You can support us by buying and playing our games, spreading the word, and leaving good reviews on Steam. All efforts will help us return to creating our own weird adventures. The Seed by Seed Team

Hi there, game industry and friends,
This is our turn to do the "square news bad news" thing. Sadly, our studio has been affected by the crisis like everyone else. You can ask questions in thread, we'll try our best to answer.

Cheers & take care ❤️
