OF RUSHAUG
THE WORLD IS TORN APART BY IDEOLOGY, ULTRA-NATIONALISM, AND CAT BREED-RACIALISM.
In the midst of this instability, collective powers are trying to insert their influence through force. Global Alliance Treaty Organization (GATO), a joint military force, is fighting to defend independent nations from being grasped by the mighty Dekenzian Manifesto Allegiance (DMA).
Rushaug–an elite soldier operating behind enemy lines–is gathering critical information, all while sabotaging the enemy from the inside. His accomplishments do not go unnoticed, and he is quickly building a reputation as a formidable opponent.
The DMA is determined to stop the threat, prompting General Zargasso to dispatch special forces to hunt down and eliminate Rushaug. Unknowingly, Rushaug is about to meet his equal; Red Nuke.

ABOUT THE DEVELOPER
The person behind the operation.
TOBIAS EDVARDSEN
Independent game developer from Norway.
My journey into game development began as an obsession to bring my crazy imagination into life. I picked up a Nintendo Gameboy at the age of four, and never looked back.
Rushaug evolved from an imaginary companion in childhood, into the video game character you see on the screen today. He has been through numerous iterations, as he matured and grew up alongside me.
Health struggle.
It's impossible to talk about the development of Rushaug: Feline Warfare without mentioning the influence of my personal health problems. I was born with a genetic disorder known as "Hereditary Haemorrhagic Telangiectasia" that has severely impacted my lungs, and subsequently turned me into the man with most pulmonary surgical interventions in Norway. It's been a fight since the day my symptoms started to manifest in early childhood. Game development has been slowed down by mental and physical health, yet simultaneously enabled me by freeing up time from not having to work 9-5 thanks to my health welfare, giving me all the time I need to make Rushaug: Feline Warfare a reality.
THE JOURNEY
2001 - GENESIS
Rushaug is born as a crude drawing of a grey cat juggling eight grenades as he throws them at other "bad" cats. From there, his identity takes a lot of different directions.
2012 - "Project Emerald" is started
The first file of the game project that eventually turned into "Rushaug: Feline Warfare" was created during the Summer of 2012. The prototype lacked direction, experience, and structure - as a result, went through many crazy iterations.
2016 - GAME DESIGN EDUCATION
I started my first semester at Sunnhordland, a game development-school idyllically situated on an island wedged between fjords in the west coast of Norway. Here I learned to apply industry principles, and restructure my hobbyist game projects into that of a professional game developer.
2017 - FIRST PUBLIC EXHIBITION AND ALPHA TEST
This year "Project Emerald" finally becomes a playable alpha, and I showcase it in the debut of my first exhbition at SPILLEXPO; Norway's largest game exhbition.
2018 - HEALTH DECLINES AND REQUIRES INTERVENTION
April 20th, 2018 my mental health falls into the basement as a paralying health scare sends me to the emergency room. I go through the entire year in fear of a stroke. Decisions are made by specialists at the hospital to put me through a series of five surgeries to reduce complication risks, and improve quality of life. Game development takes a significant pause.
2020 - STEAM PARTNER AND NINTENDO APPROVES GAME FOR SWITCH
The project finally establishes a presence on a mainstream gaming platform; Steam, and Nintendo approves the game for development and release on the Nintendo Switch.
2021 - Health complication occurs
September of 2021, I had a serious lung haemorrhage requiring an emergency surgery. Situation was stabilized, but left a toll on my mental health, and development is momentarilly paused, and slowly resumed by the end of the year.
2024 - The "ATOMIC THREAT" Trailer premieres
The trailer that put Rushaug: Feline Warfare on the map is published, and gains half a million views within two months.
