Hello there climbers!
You might not know this, but Surmount is made by a very small team, me (Jonas) and Jasper are the sole developers. I do the art and Jasper do the programming, the rest is pretty much 50/50.
But we've also got a few friends to help us out.
The talented Ryan Yoshikami, who also does the music for Loddlenaut, makes all the music for Surmount. He did a wonderful job, after hundreds of hours in Zone 1 I'm still not tired of hearing the soothing tunes he composed.
On audio we've got Rumsklang, which is Viktor Eidhagen and Marcus Nilsson. They also did the audio for TOEM, which was an IGF Finalist for "Excellence in Audio." The game really came to life when they gave it their Magic Touch Of Noise (beautiful noise).
So overall there's been 5 pairs of hands working on various aspects of the game.
Why am I telling you this?
Because we're part of TinyTeams! It's an event all about games made by teams of max 5.
It's organized by The Yogscast, and they're going to play the actual game live on Twitch.
Keep an eye on their Twitch channel between 8 and 10pm BST on August 6.
We hope you will tune in!
Warm regards,
Jonas & Jasper
