Royal Troupe's Logo Making

Maybe you would be interested :3

That's the magic of making game logos. Crafting, and casting spells, and creating new worlds... Anyway for us it's the first experience of such stuff. We thought that logos usually appear from a giant toad's tears or some fairies make it from stardust and colibry feathers...

But that's how it happens in reality!

5 000 copies sold!

Guys. Girls. Ladies and gentlemen. Everyone.

We love you soooooo much! I don't know how to describe this feeling - when you create something, and you are really afraid of how people will take it, and then you see that your game (or your book, or comics, or dance, or song, or picture, anything - your work, part of you) is doing well. And that there are thousands, thousands of people who saw it and maybe even enjoyed it. *sob-sob*

We really love our tiny small game, we've made it from our hearts - so this achievement - 5 000 copies sold - is a real joy for us. Thank you for being with us, for your support!

And so as you are so kind, we will make a little coming-out:

We start (just start!) a new game :3

Now it lives only in our heads and some documents - so we can show you just a small teaser.

Ta-dam!


Thank you again! We'll keep you posted about Avarange and our future plans. There will be a surprise soon. But shhhhhhh!

During the development we made up lots of lore for Message Quest Universe and our future games. We didn't put it in the game, but still want to share with you some pieces. Do you like the format?



Also we're doing some research about the most unique and original fictional Universes in games and other media. If you want to participate, please share with us - what the most fantastic universes you remember?

That's some from our TOP-list:
- Dune

What's your TOP?

Fun Facts about Message Quest

What would you like to know about Message Quest?

For a start, we’d like to share some Message Quest facts.

Fact 1 - Feste's name
Feste is named after a jester from Shakespeare’s "Twelfth Night". This is our favourite Shakespeare's comedy.

Fact 2 - A bit about sales
For now we've sold about 1 000 copies - wow!
The most copies are sold in Russia, the United States and Germany.
The total number of activations is about 3 000!
The most players are in the United States, Germany and Japan.

Fact 3 - Noah's gender
Yep, Noah is a boy. We know that some people can be disappointed. But he is really young. In fact, younger than Feste. Who could imagine, right?

Fact 4 - Achievments
Almost 30% of all players have all the achievements.
And only 14% have been able to resist the infamous Glowing bottle. Keep trying!

Fact 5 - Voicovers' language
All of our characters (except the refugee girl) use Lodgespeak - the language of Ice-Pick Lodge studio which was created for their game "Knock-Knock". With their kind permission we’ve used it in our game as well. Should we perhaps develop it into a real fantasy language? Limbokoroteda! Egerekefara.


Want to know something else? If it's not a spoiler for our next game – we’ll be glad to answer!
