We Had a Book Written! 📖✨

Sometimes the wildest things happen when you just start. A few weeks ago, Justus and I were sitting at the kitchen table with one simple idea: "Let's build a space game." No plan, no studio, no budget — just a ten-year-old bursting with ideas and a dad who wanted to see how far we could get. And now the whole story exists as a book. 🚀


We've captured the complete origin story of Blocks Beyond The Stars — from the first sketch on a scrap of paper to the finished multiplayer game you can play in your browser today. And honestly? It turned into so much more than "just" a making-of.


What's inside:

  • How Justus' wild ideas became real game mechanics

  • How modern AI helped with the coding — and where it failed spectacularly

  • The setbacks, bugs, and "why-won't-this-work" moments nobody else ever sees

  • And above all: what it really means to take on a project like this together, as father and son

It's a book about a video game, sure. But really, it's a story about what happens when you take curiosity seriously and simply get started — no matter how old you are.


If you've ever wondered how things really work behind the scenes — the building, the cursing, the wonder — now you can read all about it. See you out there among the stars! 🌟
