Sumer News

Hey Sumerians!
We’re helping out with the pilot run of a gaming marathon called Gaming for Pixels, a fundraising initiative to help stop violence against women. As part of our support we’ll be streaming today, Sunday, April 9th!

We’ve selected a handful of games that are either board game-likes or local multiplayer, including some of our recent favorites like Loot Rascals, Overcooked and Offworld Trading Company.

A few NYC indies have also volunteered to show local multiplayer games that they’re working on now! Stop by a for a sneak peek at some upcoming gems.

Tune in from 9 AM - 10 PM EST on our twitch channel: twitch.tv/StudioWumpus

Looking forward to seeing you there!

We’re really excited to share Sumer with you. The game has gone through a lot of iteration since we first started it in grad school and its thrilling how close we are to the end.



You can expect periodic updates of Sumer over the coming months, but the real magic will be going on behind the scenes as we finish implementing online play. We’ll keep you in the loop of course and when online is finished Sumer will be officially launched!



Until then, we welcome your thoughts on the game’s local version. Try out the tutorial, test your skills against our AI and enjoy competing with your friends.



We’re excited to have you as part of our community and look forward to getting to know you all :D
