I'm now 100% of Vlambeer - by Jan Willem Nijman

The headline says it all, big news:
I now own 100% of Vlambeer, the studio I co-founded with Rami Ismail back in 2010.

You might know Vlambeer from indie games such as Nuclear Throne, Ridiculous Fishing, LUFTRAUSERS, Super Crate Box, GUN GODZ, and uhhh, Serious Sam: the Random Encounter. Or this logo of an extremely chill bear who’s also on fire.

Here’s what this acquisition means:

  • After my current unannounced project is done, Vlambeer’s arcade shooter ULTRABUGS will see its long-anticipated release!

    (Really good on Steam Deck btw.)

  • An update for Ridiculous Fishing EX is in the works and coming out soon. Expect a lot of cool new content and some… unconventional fish.🐊

  • I want to preserve the classic Vlambeer games, and make sure they stay playable far into the future. It’s too easy for games to get lost in time and that’s a damn shame.

  • …and last but not least: I’m going to keep making indie games with cool small teams like I always have!

    • A big thanks to all of Vlambeer’s amazing collaborators, and everyone who made our games possible throughout the years! 💛

    For anything Vlambeer related in the future, please don’t hesitate to hit me up.

    Cheers,
    JW
