welevel

Founded in 2021 by serial entrepreneur Christian Heimerl, welevel has grown from a bootstrapped studio into a team of 20 passionate gamers and developers based in Munich. The studio is currently developing SolidRiver, a co-op survival game that combines city-building, RPG progression, and open-world gameplay, designed to deliver every player a unique and adaptive experience. By building their own proprietary AI alongside handcrafted assets and visuals, welevel is able to produce the quality typically associated with much larger studios while maintaining the creative freedom of an independent team. With Early Access targeted for late 2026, the studio is establishing itself as one of the most ambitious independent game developers in Germany.
