History

divider

The game idea has its origin on HackYeah 2022 - the biggest stationary hackathon in Europe. Our team participated in the Polish Great Battles category and won second place!


We came up with the idea to create a game about being a telegraphist during the Battle of Warsaw, by sending Morse code rhythmically.


The proof of concept version was made in 24 hours by a team of 6 people.

Cubepotato Games is a small indie game studio originally founded by a group of high school friends who just love making games. It is a creative kitchen where we cook unique and immersive experiences.

We enjoy taking part in a variety of game jams, each time trying a totally different idea. In fact, that's how our Telegraphist 1920: Beats of War began.

In August 2022, we released our first game on Steam - Decorporation, which started as a short gamejam project at KrakJam 2022 and quickly transformed into a full production.

In October 2022, we participated in HackYeah 2022, where we won the second place in the Polish Great Battles category. It was also at this event that we created the first prototype of Telegraphist 1920.

From April 2023 to this day we are working on full version of Telegraphist 1920: Beats of War.
