Sumatra Greenlight update... and Ron Gilbert!

Hi guys,

Thanks again for your support of our upcoming game, Sumatra. The Greenlight campaign has been going very well, we are now at 299 yes votes, just one shy of 300! We have a very healthy yes/no ratio which is giving us a lot of confidence moving forward. Any help you can give us to push past 300 and beyond is always immensely appreciated!

A few days ago we had a great boost in votes thanks to the legend that is Ron Gilbert, creator of Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion, who retweeted us on Twitter. Being a fan of Mr Gilbert since I was a child, this was possibly the coolest thing that has happened since we started making games, and I may indeed print this screenshot off and frame it.



Thanks for your support,

Sumatra - our new game on Steam Greenlight!

From the makers of A Date in the Park, Mudlarks and The Terrible Old Man comes SUMATRA, an all new jungle adventure!

Your votes are appreciated! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=864100054

What's the story?

You are Yandi, a villager who works for the Pandang Logging Company deep in the Sumatran jungle. An accident leaves you stranded and alone. You must survive, you must escape. Along the way you'll meet a multitude of jungle beasts, tribes-people, scientists and nefarious loggers. Can Yandi get out alive?

What are the features?

- An old school point and click adventure aesthetic with puzzles galore
- A range of interesting characters, including Kubu tribespeople and creatures unique to the Sumatran jungle
- A variety of subplots to keep Yandi on his toes as he tries to escape the jungle
- Playable flashback sequences that paint a picture of where Yandi has come from and how his attitudes have formed
- Cool 8-bit soundtrack
- Mystery, intrigue and surprise! Uncover secrets along the way
- Decision-making elements
- 3+ hours of game play

Inspiration?

Old school point and click adventures from the 80s (eg Kings Quest, Space Quest), Pitfall, Jungle King. Myths and legends of Indonesia.

Wait, this looks a little familiar!

Sumatra is an expanded version of our well received free game from 2015, Pendek. While Pendek had around 20-30 minutes of gameplay, Sumatra will feature at least 3 hours of adventuring, with many added situations, plot-lines and characters.

When can I play?

If Greenlit, Sumatra will be available within a couple of months.

How much will it cost?

Sumatra will be at the budget end of the scale, probably around £2.80/$3.50
