That was us - Ania Kowalczyk - the graphic design student - and Agnieszka Wlazły - the sound design student. We both thought that it would be a nice opportunity to create a game together. We started to think about a game where there is more than one playable character. We instantly came up with the key idea of Weakless - switching between visions of Blind and Deaf.

We decided to take part in the competition with our brief game pitch and guess what? We've made it! Our team has grown a little and we've continued to develop the game under the mentorship of ARP Games. After a while we were able to showcase our first build, gathering as much feedback as we could.

We had many issues with showing sound sources in Blinds vision. We were experimenting with Deafs world perception, because we really wanted to make both visions unique. We also came upon many level design problems, since we tried to build our gameplay only on audio and visual complementarity. Unfortunately our team has fallen apart, the game itself had many design issues and overall group morale was very low.

Punk Notion, a trio of experienced animators, came up with an idea of uniting both of our teams and develop Weakless. Together with their crew we finally had enough people to continue the development. The next year was all about finalizing the game design, creating new features and polishing both puzzles and visions of the heroes. Later on more and more people started to follow the game progress and Weakless started getting awards.

And here we are, Weakless is now available on Xbox One and will be available very soon on Steam! We are really thankful to all the people who were with us during this journey. We would like to invite everyone to explore the adventure of Blind and Deaf on their own. Cheers! Ania & Aga
