Meet RuneHeads - The Team Behind Journey to the Void

Hello, players,

At RuneHeads, we're more than just a game studio. We're a team built on education, mentorship, and a shared love for game development. Our founders are teachers at Italian video game academies, and some of our most talented students have joined the team, turning their passion into a career.

Like many developers, we see video games as more than just a pastime. We see them as a valuable tool, a method of self-expression, and something that can bring people together. This is why we started teaching: We wanted to make sure that future generations could get the grounding that wasn't available to us when we were younger.

There are so many options when it comes to learning how to create games these days, but we still believe learning with a group is essential. Working with others brings new ideas, new ways of thinking, and solutions to problems you would never think of alone.

This is a key part of how we work at RuneHeads and has gone on to inform the games we make.

Why Strategy? Why Deckbuilders?

When deciding on the direction for Journey to the Void, we wanted to create something that played to our strengths. Strategy games have always been at the heart of RuneHeads, and our designers have a long-standing passion for deckbuilders and roguelikes. These genres challenge both players and developers to think critically, adapt, and experiment, something we love doing in both game design and the games we play.

Journey to the Void is the result of that passion. It blends deep strategy with unpredictable roguelike elements to create an experience that's as rewarding as it is challenging. We can't wait for players to dive in and explore everything we've built.

Until next time,
RuneHeads
