But in a way, it feels like a lifetime ago, and even longer since the death of my grandparents, the painful grain of sand that, with my friends’ help, we were able to turn into this pearl. We’ve heard from dozens of players about how the game helped them work through their own grief or despair, or gave them a grim laugh at its dark humor. It means a lot to know our little game had such an impact. Like our first creation [i]Primordia[/i], it has staying power: this past year we sold the most copies of any year yet. It goes to show how much it matters to have devoted and supporting fans like you all. One of those fans is Eduardo, the amazing translator who brought [i]Primordia[/i] to Spanish speakers, and he’s nearing completion of his [i]Strangeland[/i] translation. That translation, and the periodic bugfixes that James and I do, will probably be the last update for the game, but you never know... life is full of surprises (like [i]Primordia[/i] getting optioned for a cinematic adaptation). All I know is, I’m very happy with the story and characters of these two games, their alien worlds, and their theme of what it means to human. If nothing more comes of them, it will be enough. Our next game, [i]Fallen Gods[/i] is in the polishing phase now. We’re taking our time with it—over 10 years of development, a long incubation even for Wormwood Studios!—because we want to make sure it’s the game our players deserve. But hopefully 2024 will be the year of its release. Until the next milestone, adieu! - Mark Y. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38514961/b28d9a006e96e85aba7f0a8113d388a6372a6769.jpg[/img]
