Machinarium News

Hello everybody!

That's right, Machinarium turns 10 years old today. To celebrate this anniversary, we teamed up with a group of artists from across the globe including Orbital, Jim Guthrie, C418 or 65daysofstatic to put together a special remix album bringing new perspectives on Floex’s work. Machinarium Remixed is available today for streaming, download and on (almost sold out!) limited vinyl.

The album in mp3 and flac format will soon be available as free content to all owners of Machinarium Collector's Edition.

The album’s lead single ‘The Glasshouse With Butterfly’ remixed by UK’s electronic music legends Orbital, which also serves as the album opener, was released in September, and the rest of the line-up features some of the most celebrated music artists on the indie games scene, such as C418 (Minecraft), Jim Guthrie (Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery, Below) or 65daysofstatic (No Man’s Sky), all approaching the source material in their own unique style. “One of my favorite remixes on the album is C418’s take on The Sea. He shifted the track towards a more ecstatic, euphoric form. It’s often really hard to come up with something positive and avoid making it sound cheap or too cheesy. It’s got a great drive and I’m really looking forward to playing this live,” added Floex.

This autumn, Tomáš Dvořák aka Floex will be touring the Czech Republic with a brand new show, playing his music for video games live for the first time ever. The main concert / release party will take place on 27th November 2019 at Palác Akropolis, Prague. There will be a special twist to the show - it will feature Machinarium’s main robot protagonist Josef on the drums. Floex has also composed and produced music for Amanita’s latest title Pilgrims, and is currently collaborating with Tom Hodge on the original score for Christian Schwochow’s upcoming movie Je Suis Karl.

THANK YOU for the ongoing support!

Hello everyone,

I am pleased to announce that our latest game Pilgrims is now available on Steam!

Pilgrims is a short non-linear adventure game set in a charming little kingdom, inspired by old Central and Eastern European fairy tales and, partially, John Steinbeck’s books. It tells the story of Tramp, Granny, Bandit and Devil, four different characters each with their own quirks and perks, who eventually end up roaming the land together, dealing with strangers and helping each other out.

The game’s key gameplay mechanic was inspired by a puzzle featured in Samorost 3, one of Amanita’s previous titles, in which players were required to solve a problem by experimenting with the interaction of various playing cards. The player would then be rewarded with gentle humor, a funny animation accompanied by sounds. Pilgrims is therefore filled with all sorts of surprising, lighthearted situations, encouraging the player to try out different combinations since many problems can be solved in a number of different ways. The game supports replayability with 45 unlockable achievements.

Pilgrims was developed by a team led by Jakub Dvorsky, who designed the game and took over the visual art. He was joined by his long-term collaborator, animator Václav Blín, programmer Michal Berlinger, and the classic duo Tomáš ‘Floex’ Dvořák and Tomáš ‘Moták’ Dvořák on music and sound effects respectively. The game was in development for 2 years.

Hello!

I am excited to announce that our next game 'Creaks' is coming to Steam next year!

We just launched the Steam page (which is also where you can check out the first teaser trailer and a handful of screenshots) so you can easily add Creaks to your wishlist.

Creaks is being developed by one of Amanita’s new teams, headed by Czech designer and artist Radim Jurda. The music (for both the teaser and the game) was done by Scottish composer and multi-instrumentalist Joe Acheson aka Hidden Orchestra.
