Welcome to a new episode of our Dev Diaries about Ameba! Please take a moment to imagine the following scenario… Someone just passed away. Someone close to our main character Hugo.

A todos nos sienta bien quedar con amigos a los que hace tiempo que no vemos. Uno se pone al día, reparte abrazos, cuenta anécdotas recurrentes de ocasiones anteriores y, por regla general, vuelve a casa contento. Personalmente, así es como he vivido este estupendo fin de semana, compartiendo un enorme stand con una variada panda compuesta por […]

Contrary to what is common in the video game and movie industries, composer Juanjo Martín has been there since the very first moment the plot for AMEBA was being planned.
