René Rother on Children of the Sun, Being an Indie Developer, and His Failed but Successful Publisher Pitch
German indie developer René Rother is behind the creative shooter Children of the Sun. Over the course of the year, we had the opportunity to talk to him about the game, the challenges of being an indie developer, and the failed pitch that led to a deal with Devolver Digital.
In April 2024, German indie (and solo) developer René Rother released the tactical third-person puzzle shooter Children of the Sun in collaboration with publisher Devolver Digital. In the game, you play as "The Girl", who grew up brainwashed by "The Cult", but she is now free from their control and waging a one-woman war of vengeance against them and their enigmatic messiah, The Leader.
