Hi GOG-Community,

we are happy to present you today our latest game Deponia. Hopefully you will have as much fun playing it as we had to develop the game. Look out for a trailer tomorrow which explains, what i mean.

Like with every indie production it was a long way to produce this game. We came up with the idea for Deponia in summer 2008 after our first success Edna & Harvey: The Breakout (now available on the iPad). And potential business partners we talked to, said that they don't think, this will work. We had in mind to produce an adventure game maybe 20 hours long. But then we found nobody who would invest in such a game. In 2011 then after some years of pre-production and negotiations, we decided to put in all additional ideas which came along the years into the final game. And we decided to go ALL IN. So finally we had a game design document for 35-40h gameplay time. We decided to make a Deponia trilogy, so that it is possible to make three games which are around each 10-12 hours and also to have some revenues on the way.

Deponia came out first in germany in january 2012 (the toughest and most competitive market for adventure games, remember what Tim Schafer said in his kickstarter video). And: We ended up on No. 1 in the german charts in front of The Old Republic for almost two weeks <!-- s;-) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s;-) --> Also the reviews were fantastic. Check for example the german database site pcgamesdatabase.de. There you can see that not a single NEW adventure game in this century has a better metascore in germany (excluding the remakes of some good known games from LA). But we are freaks. Every next game we develop - our goal is to make it even more a little bit better than the last one.

Someone here wrote maybe the localization for one of our games we did in the past, The Whispered World, was not the best. He is right, but we think it was ok, not stellar. We learned much in the years and from loca to loca the quality of our international versions rise. We recorded Deponia in London with really good and experienced people.

Enjoy Deponia, be aware that later this year in november there will be the second part Chaos on Deponia also on GOG. If you like our game, tell it to your friends, so that one day we can do a movie or tv series about Deponia... If not, don't tell anyone <!-- s;-) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s;-) -->

Best regards, take care
