A year ago, we started our journey with The Lion’s Song at GDC 2016. At the prestigious and important developer conference, we showed a playable beta to the “public” for the very first time – mainly press and potential partners. In 2016, we kept travelling around the world and continued talking about the game all year long in various countries at conferences of all shapes and sizes. With great pleasure and honor, the team humbly acknowledges the overwhelmingly positive reception – from the very first moment - by you, the players; furthermore by award judges around the globe. It really feels good to create a small indie pixel art gem that is highly acclaimed by gamers and fellow industry colleagues. The award season started locally with the Austrian futurezone game of the year award, followed by the German Developer Award for Best Indie Game. Our friends up North also nominated The Lion’s Song for Best Story for the German Developer Award. Finally, we are very proud for the Honorable Mentions from the Independent Games Festival in the category Excellence in Narrative.
So in 2017 Mi’pu’mi Games comes full circle returning to GDC with several awards on our belt and the ongoing positive support from all our players. This year we bring along a playable version of Episode 3: Derivation for PC and for the very first time on international markets, an iOS (Beta) of Episode 1: Silence. Stay tuned for more updates regarding Episode 3: Derivation coming very soon. The next episode of The Lion’s Song centers on Viennese mathematician Emma, whose academic brilliancy was not received enthusiastically in the male-dominant science world of the early 20th century. In case you are attending, we wish you all a great and successful GDC. If you are interested meeting with Mi’pu’mi on short notice and to get hands on with “The Lion’s Song” please get in touch. Yours, Mi’pu’mi Games
