The above renders show the cast of my horror adaptation of a new and original Winnie-the-Pooh horror game.
Ever since learning about Winnie-the-Pooh becoming public domain, i've been secretly working on my own horror game adaptation. My game development career has been leading to this point and I feel like i'm the perfect fit and developer for re-imaging and re-creating the legacy of Winnie-the-Pooh.
Coming soon. Samer Khatib's Winnie-the-Pooh. Featuring original characters re-imagined and designs made from scratch. Join Christopher Robin, Piglet, Pooh, and more friends in this upcoming tale of terror.

More information on my new game project will be shown in the coming days and weeks. Be sure to follow me on Twitter for the latest news and keep an eye on the Snowconesolid Productions Steam and itch store pages as well. Links below.
Snowconeoslid Productions has been in limbo throughout most of 2021. Fast forward to the beginning of October and I finally started to post updates to my Twitter again. I've been busy throughout the year and have been away from the game dev scene for a while. But, that wasn't going to stop me from setting up to relaunch Snowconesolid Productions and return to game development full time. We are going to pick up where we last left off. Creating the Samer Hills game series. Today, I'm proud to announce that Snowconesolid Productions has successfully relaunched and is back in business.
With new branding, an all-new boot-up logo, a new slogan, and just all-around new. You can basically call this "Snowconesolid Productions V2." It's the start of a new chapter for the studio and this blog post will cover the relaunch and give a recap of the announcements from this month.
First, let's get right into the relaunch and check out the new boot logo for Snowconesolid Productions.
Snowconesolid Productions is a low-budget independent studio bringing you daily spooks, scares, & screams fresh from Samer Hills. Creating short novelty horror games & 3D artwork.
Samer Hills is an anthology series of one-off, spooky, self-contained, short, novelty horror-comedy games. Strange & creepy things happen here & you’re invited to experience them! Strange & creepy things happen here & you’re invited to experience them! Enter the ominous, enigmatic world of madness & explore this spooky anthology if you dare… Welcome to Samer Hills!
Warning - Some games/software/applications or other pieces of media from Snowconesolid Productions may contain loud noises, flashing lights, and content that may not be suitable for everyone.
And in case you missed it, leading up to the relaunch there were a few announcements regarding older games and other content from Snowconesolid Productions. Here's a full recap.
⭐️ First, The Samer Khatib Legacy Collection is now available for free and you can get it off itch here:
⭐️ Second, Potato Thriller is now available for free across all platforms it's available on. This includes every version of the game as well. (Steam, itch, Google Play Store)
⭐️ Lastly, my most recent game, "The DeBug". This game has always been free, but I thought I would just throw it in here anyway since it's the perfect game that transitions the studio's focus onto what's to come next and that would be the Samer Hills series.
⭐️ And finally, I'm very pleased to announce that all of my Unity game asset packages are now available for free. And yes, you can use these in your project commercially as well. So, get started on your Unity project today with these free-to-use original 3D assets from Snowconesolid Productions. Ranging from unique character models to silly props. You might find something useful for your project in these game-ready asset packages. Enjoy!
This concludes the recap and relaunch of the studio. Snowconesolid Productions is excited to be back and we look forward to bringing the Samer Hills series to life and creating some spooky new content! Thank you for your support.

🎃🎃🎃
Introducing Samer Hills™ - A new brand and label from Samer Khatib (Snowconesolid Productions) LLC. with a focus on creating and producing unique, low-budget, short, novelty horror games. An anthology game series of one-off, spooky, self-contained stories.
See Samer Hills™ games and more information on the official website with the links above.
🎃 Additional Information 🎃
Samer Hills™ games place the player in bizarre and terrifying scenarios and situations. Play as unique main characters or sometimes even Samer Khatib himself throughout the series. No two Samer Hills games will be the same as each title is designed to be its own standalone experience.
🎃 Samer Hills as a brand, label, and the future of the studio 🎃
Going forward, I have decided that all new game releases from Snowconesolid Productions will be labeled as "Samer Hills™" games. What I mean is that there will no longer be standalone titled games such as "Giraffe Town" or "Potato Thriller". Instead, all new game releases will be branded as "Samer Hills™" followed by the game's title name.
For example:"Samer Hills™ Toxic Turtle"
So, the format for all future games that I publish will go as follows:
"Samer Hills™ GAME TITLE NAME"
I have made this decision for multiple reasons. This is to separate my new works from my older ones as well as to separate my works from other works that may contain similar naming or commonly used words. Additionally, this is to create and build up a unique and distinctive brand and to make it easier to find my games when searching for them. This is also especially a good decision for future purposes when I eventually have published many games. Simply searching the keywords "Samer Hills" will bring up all my new games instead of having to search for a specific title or scavenge pages upon pages of results not related to my works. In my opinion, this is a smarter and safer way for creating and publishing games and doing business in general. It's a unique approach that isn't really done by most developers and I think it's important to have a brand for your works established and easily identifiable.
Samer Hills is described as a game series or anthology. But really, it's more of a label and identity. A signature for my works and a way for my works to stand out from the rest. This will be my main brand going forward as an independent game developer. Unlike my past game releases, my goal is to really establish Samer Hills as my own unique brand that just focuses on doing its own thing and represents my take on independent horror games.
