Redhead Studios
Generating Indie Realities
I am a solo indie developer operating under the name of “Redhead Studios” in Cologne, Germany. I develop games in my free time, while working as a full time Researcher with a focus on Serious Games, Digital Twins and XR at the German Aerospace Center.
I experimented with Procedural Content Generation and 6DOF shooters, before starting development of “Fluff’s Adventure” in 2019, which is still my main game in development.

Fluff's Adventure
A Tale of Fur and Steel
Fluff’s Adventure: A Tale of Fur and Steel is a 3D third-person puzzle game with platforming elements. The game is focusing on non-textual storytelling, exploration and puzzles centered around fluffy furballs called “Fluffs”. It creates a wholesome atmosphere in a stylized and colorful environment.
Explore an island full of secrets and collectibles for you to find. Learn to overcome challenges – both through dexterity while platforming in Fluff’s oversized shoes and by solving numerous puzzles that will prevent you from progressing. But be warned: an evil force is invading Fluff’s world and threatens to destroy the idyll forever …
Explore large-scale levels
Fluff’s Adventure takes place in levels that you can explore at will. The aim is to reach the end of a level, but of course there are numerous secrets that you can find along the way.
Solve color-based puzzles
Fluff’s colors aren’t just for show: After finding other Fluffs, you can freely switch between them to solve puzzles. Many puzzle elements in the game are colored, so you can only interact with them with a Fluff of the same color or with other objects of the same color.
Immerse yourself in a relaxed atmosphere
Fluff’s Adventure won’t annoy you with explanatory text or long drawn-out tutorials: you can explore the world at your own pace and solve puzzles without being pulled out of the game environment by texts or hints. Puzzles will also never put you under time pressure: Pure relaxation (as long as you don’t get frustrated by solving puzzles)!
Experience a gripping story
Fluff’s island is haunted by metallic creatures. Find out the reason for their arrival and stop them before it’s too late …
