Fragments collected during the journey of Paws and Leaves.
Memory Grove
Some memories fade.
Others stay with us forever.
The Archive is our attempt to hold onto the small moments in-between — the quiet ones that would normally disappear with time.
What began as a few photographs during the development of Paws and Leaves: A Last Tale slowly became something much more personal. A growing collection of emotions, encounters, late nights, conventions, friendships, setbacks, victories, and fragments of a journey that continues to shape both the game and the people behind it.
Every image inside this archive captures something real.
Not staged marketing moments.
Not perfect snapshots.
But fleeting pieces of life.
Moments shared with our community.
The chaos behind convention halls.
Exhausted smiles after sleepless nights.
Tiny memories that may seem insignificant today, yet become priceless years later.
Because Paws and Leaves has always been about memories.
About the fear of losing them.
About trying to preserve them.
And about the realization that even fleeting moments can leave marks that outlive us.
Some of these memories may eventually find their way into the game itself.
Others will simply remain here — as silent proof that this journey truly happened.
This archive will continue to grow throughout development and far beyond release.
Not only as documentation of a game, but as a living collection of the people, emotions, and memories that gave it life.

2026
The year did not begin easily.
On a personal level, things were heavy, especially within my family.
But alongside that, something extraordinary happened:
Paws and Leaves received funding support from nordmedia — nearly 300,000€, marking a turning point for the production and the future of the project.
2023
It became the most successful year so far.
But success never arrives without weight.

There was a constant tension left behind by the German Developer Award in December 2022 — a moment that raised expectations, pressure, and visibility all at once.
Throughout the year, Paws and Leaves continued to grow, but so did everything around it: the expectations, the responsibility, and the feeling that the project was slowly becoming bigger than the space we had built for it.
2022
Some milestones are visible, others are deeply personal. I got married this year. A moment that feels inseparable from everything that came before and everything that followed — as if one thread connects both life and creation without ever separating them.
