As the Earth completes another orbit ([i]15 [/i]of them since [i]Primordia [/i]got underway), we look back happily at all the love our games have gotten from fans and, somewhat more ruefully, at the sweat and effort that went into those games in the past twelve months.
[i]Fallen Gods[/i]
Our foremost effort has been on [url="https://store.steampowered.com/app/1641190/Fallen_Gods/"][i]Fallen Gods[/i][/url], which is nearing completion! ([b]Not a bad time to [url="https://store.steampowered.com/app/1641190/Fallen_Gods/#game_area_purchase"]wishlist[/url] it![/b]) The team poured thousands of hours into its development this year, and the additions are too numerous to list. Significantly, we finished the game's hundreds of illustrations, hundreds of events (comprising tens of thousands of nodes), and hours of voice-over. We added tons of new animations, interfaces, sound effects, and other pixel art. Here's a peek at some of the new stuff!

[i]Primordia [/i]and [i]Strangeland [/i]
We still found hundreds of hours to put into our never-ending work on [i][url="https://store.steampowered.com/app/227000/Primordia/"]Primordia[/url][/i] and [i][url="https://store.steampowered.com/app/1369520/Strangeland/"]Strangeland[/url][/i] (both 70% off in the current Steam sale), fielding player questions, patching bugs, keeping the games compatible on modern systems, and working on translations and ports.
[i]Primordia[/i] got three patches; [i]Strangeland[/i] got two patches and was upgraded to a newer version of Adventure Game Studio. Having ported [i]Primordia[/i] to the Switch a few years ago, James has been working ever since on getting [i]Strangeland[/i] onto the Switch as well, and now has a working version that's playable start to finish. [i]Strangeland[/i] also hit some big milestones as it approaches its five-year anniversary of release: 800 reviews (the best thing you can do to support indie devs is leave reviews!) and 50,000 copies sold. We're also still plugging away on the Spanish translation for [i]Strangeland[/i].
All told, it's been a great 2025, and we're looking forward to an exciting 2026, hopefully with the release of [i]Fallen Gods[/i] to kick it off!
