On May 15 & 16, our publishing team traveled to Kraków to present in the Indie Showcase two of published by us indie gems – Backpack Hero (developed by the Backpack Team) and Havendock (created by a solo dev – YYZ).

Both titles managed to be selected for the Indie Showcase Finals, and in addition to that Backpack Hero managed to receive a Community Vote Award for which the DT publishing team accepted the award in behalf of the Backpack Team.

We would like to thank all the players, fellow devs, and friends who voted for the game! We couldn’t achieve this without your support!

This cozy colony sim was born just a bit over a year ago and is the work of an incredible solo developer YYZ. He’s been working closely with the community from the very beginning, allowing players to experience the game at its early stages and following their feedback.

It’s wonderful to be part of such a special project and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for Havendock!

If you’d like to know more about the game – visits its Steam page on which you will be able to follow the game news and updates, alongside already trying the Early Access version of the game and joining the game’s wonderful and passionate community.

We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve joined forces with solo developer Yeo Ying Zhi (a.k.a. YYZ) to release his spectacular game: Havendock!

Havendock is an oceanic colony sim about a castaway inventor. You know the story: clutching a scrap of wood, surviving out in the middle of the ocean. But then things get wild. You build a high-tech society of vibrant settlers, with power plants, robots, submarines, and… rockets!

Havendock is a fun-to-learn and fiercely captivating indie gem. We fell in love right away, spent hours with it, and honestly, we’re amazed by how much YYZ has accomplished as a solo creator. We’re joining the project to help in those areas where it is most difficult to work alone. We will support the development process, help reach new players, and bring in the buzz that YYZ deserves – after all, Steam Early Access is coming soon!

Enough talk, heed this advice: play the fantastic demo right now, and stay tuned for more exciting news to come!

We’re teaming up with Jaspel to publish their Early Access bestseller Backpack Hero!

There’s a good chance you’ve heard of the inventory management roguelike – over 150,000 have played it so far, it’s one of the year’s most impactful indies after all.

We’ve been great fans for a while now: the clever roguelike twist, the delightful vibes, and its lively supportive community. 

And we admire Jaspel immensely – a tiny remote team scattered all over the world, who’ve already accomplished a fantastic Early Access launch. They’re simply extraordinary.

Now Different Tales is jumping in to help gear up for an excellent full launch, reach new players, and publish on new platforms.

We love the game and its developers dearly; we can’t wait to help build every bit of success they deserve. Stay tuned, you’ll hear more from us soon!
