Hi, I'm Marcel

I make this game on my own and I've been at it since 2014.

I'm Marcel Scherf, and I work under the name NextLevel.is.

The whole thing started over Christmas 2014. I was animating a dot on a canvas to learn how animation works, and that became a prototype, and then it sat there. In 2022 I rewrote it in Rust on the Bevy engine, which was great fun, and then it sat there again. In 2024 it landed back in the browser with PixiJS. In September 2026 I picked it up again, and this time it turned into an actual game. Everything is in the devlog, videos as well.

Every two or three years I come back to it, and it's always the project I want to work on. No idea why.

There is no deadline on any of this. Some months I don't touch it at all. When there is something to show I put it on YouTube and send an email.
