106 years ago today, on November 11, 1918, the Armistice of Compigne was signed in the early morning hours, which silenced the guns a few hours later, at 11 o'clock, and heralded the end of the First World War. This was preceded by more than four years of endless bloodshed. In some countries, such as the United States, France, Belgium and many Commonwealth countries, today is a special day of remembrance for the fallen of the First World War. In Germany, today is not a national day of remembrance, but November 17th is this year's Volkstrauertag ('people's mourning day'), which is intended to remember the victims of violence and war of all nations. This day is also a special one for us personally. We started developing All Quiet in the Trenches about seven years ago. It was supposed to be a small, short game about the First World War that we wanted to release on November 11, 2018. 100 years after the end of the First World War. However, after the first prototypes and playtests, we realized that we wanted to delve deeper into the subject matter, both narratively and mechanically, and give the game more time and space to develop in order to do justice to the complex issues and their impact on all involved. So it has been with us for many years now and will continue to be so for years to come. Nevertheless: Without the original idea of making a game for the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War, All Quiet in the Trenches would probably never have existed. We plan to release the next major update at the beginning of December.
