One year ago today, we released our second adventure game, Strangeland! Its creation was an amazing, many-years-long journey that the three of us (Mark, James, and Vic) took together, and over the past year, it has been fantastic to welcome tens of thousands of players onto the next leg of that journey.
Our first year has seen a number of successes and significant milestones:
- Winning Aggie Awards, AGS Awards, AGOTY Awards, as well as many other prizes and nominations.
- Almost 450 user reviewers, and great user engagement throughout.
- Translations into German, Turkish, and Hungarian.
- Some truly amazing streams and video analyses of the game.
- Great coverage in print (e.g., the gaming magazine Level, which awarded us a perfect 100) and online (e.g., The Onion AV, Vice, etc.).
- Steam Deck, Linux, and MacOS ports.
And we have some amazing stuff in store for next year, including:
- Nintendo Switch port.
- French, Spanish, Japanese, and Korean translations (hopefully!).
- Continued user support in the trademark Wormwood Studios fashion.
It has been an honor for us to share this game with you, despite (and perhaps also because of) the agony of its creation. We hope it continues to make a deep connection with players, and bring its bittersweet joy to tens of thousands more.
With love,
Wormwood Studios
