The fact that we are able to produce a second season is due to the tremendous success of the first one that all of you who played Orwell made possible! Thank you for that!
Given the power to both uncover and fabricate “the truth”, the player must decide for themselves how far they will go in the service of their country and whether the truth is sacred or ignorance is strength. A political crisis has arisen across borders, threatening to plunge The Nation and Parges into violent civil unrest. Inspired by the rise of fake news, the social media echo chamber and the death of “truth”–Orwell: Ignorance is Strength places the player in the shoes of a government official in a top-secret department of the Orwell program. I’ll hope to write on here more often now, but, as I said… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Nonetheless, we are very keen on working on the new game as it is something very different from Orwell, only that it is once again a narrative-heavy single player game, and we certainly hope you are looking forward to hearing more about it. Also, a potential release is still faaaaar away. It’s awarded annualy among any applying EU-based gamedevs and “competing” with all those high-level studios in Europe, we are truly honored!Īs for the corresponding project, that’s right, we’re working on something entirely new and unannounced! We hope to be able to reveal something about the project later in 2020, but as we are still very early in the project’s development, we can’t be too sure yet. Secondly, recently we have received (or rather have yet to receive, but have been greenlit) funding for our next project! The EU funding called Creative Europe MEDIA is intended to develop innovative narrative games, so it’s kinda perfect for us, and it allows us to creative a new prototype entirely independently. Phil previously worked at Daedalic Entertainment and Behind the Stone on multiple projects in a programming capacity, and we’re delighted to say his technical skills now bolster our own team! We are very glad to to have you on board! Because, while we are working on new (and bigger!) stuff, we also still have to maintain the Orwell games.
BOTANICULA LEVEL 3 NOTPROGRESSING UPDATE
Despite this, we now wanted to give you a small update on two important things that happened recently:įirst and foremost, we got a new team member: Philipp! He joins as a full-time programmer to support our increasing development projects. Ain’t nobody got time for writing lengthy blog posts. Which is totally our fault, but, you know – video games.
The new team formation, now including Phil (on the right).
