Hello good people! Maybe you’ve heard it before, maybe it’s the first time you hear it: Next week on the 28th of May our newest game Reus 2 will hit the Steams! We’re happy to see the lessons we’ve learned from Renowned Explorers and Godhood put together into Reus to create a true fresh new Abbey Game! Except what you can expect from us: depth, colorfulness, and a playful heart. Ok, but why did…
- Fixed ice-cream van in Egypt. - Fixed some missing images. - Fixed a number of spelling errors. - Removed outdated Godhood announcement in main menu.

Thanks to the community's effort on social media, Kickstarter backers of our upcoming god game Godhood have unlocked a free copy of Renowned Explorers! Next to that, there's a stream of Godhood later today. Read all about it in this kickstarter update:

Furthermore, this patch fixes a lot of small things and adds tin…
