Who Made Underkeep? (2026)
Rake in Grass makes Underkeep and publishes it. The studio is in Prague, founded in 2000, and the press page describes a three-person company with more than twenty games on eight platforms.
The people named on the press page
- Petr “Boovie” Tovarys — programming, engine, and tools. He also writes the pinned Steam FAQ.
- Pavel “Tovy” Tovaryš — full-stack work, art, audio, and marketing. The press release lists him as the producer and the contact for this game.
- Frantisek “Undead” Chmelar — founding member, art and design.
- Jiri “JP” Prochazka — founding member who left in 2008.
Underkeep took five years. The studio says it began as one person’s idea, and that contractors joined for art and music during production. A headcount that includes those contractors is not published.
Earlier games
The public history lists Troll (2003), Jets’n’Guns (2004), Undercroft (2006), Styrateg (2006), Larva Mortus (2008), Archibald’s Adventures (2008), Northmark (2012), Rampage Knights (2015), Jets’n’Guns 2 (2020), Silent Sector (2021), and Bellfortis (2025), then Underkeep in 2026. Undercroft is the same studio’s older RPG. Whether it shares a setting with Underkeep is not stated. I am not welding the two into one world.
Engine
Searches ask whether the game uses Godot or Unity. No announcement, store page, or press sheet names the engine. The answer on this page is “not announced”.
