Behold Spiritfarer: a cozy management game about dying. Queue our first trailer and prepare thyselves for the feels! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnuEvePlxWI Spiritfarer is a project thats near and dear to our hearts. Heres the basic pitch: In Spiritfarer, you play Stella, ferrymaster to the deceased. Build a boat to explore the world, then befriend and care for spirits before finally releasing them into the afterlife. Farm, mine, fish, harvest, cook, and craft your way across mystical seas. Join the adventure as Daffodil the cat, in two-player cooperative play. Spend relaxing quality time with your spirit passengers, create lasting memories, and, ultimately, learn how to say goodbye to your cherished friends. Expect a release next year on Steam, as well as with Xbox Game Pass for PC and Console, Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch! We cant wait to tell you more about the game over the next few days, weeks, and months. Today, as I write this, were enjoying the frenzy of E3 2019, where weve been invited by the good people at Microsoft to present the first playable demo of Spiritfarer as part of their E3 activities. Come say hi at the Microsoft Theater if youre in town for the convention! If not, maybe were coming to another con near you over the next few months, hmm? Stay tuned (and do please Follow or Wishlist Spiritfarer)! https://store.steampowered.com/app/972660/Spiritfarer/ Back to you soon with more Spiritfarer news!

Such a lovely initiative on their part! In the spirit of the celebration, we’d like to officially re-iterate what we don’t mention nearly enough: the Thunder Lotus community is our family. Your trust and support is at the root of our work, and we never take it for granted. Thank you for supporting Thunder Lotus Games – we wouldn’t be able to do what we love without you!

• Added player markers to help locate the player in crowded or zoomed out locations (can be toggled in the options).

ICYMI: The "Not-A-Metroidvania" Bundle!

Finally, don’t forget that the Not-A-Metroidvania Bundle is still live, and that you stand to save a pretty penny on some of the best games of the-genre-that-shall-not-be-named, especially with the deeper Summer Sale discounts! Resist or Embrace. - Rodrigue and the Thunder Lotus Team

[ 2018-06-21 16:01:38 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hey everyone, We’ve partnered with some of our favorite developers to launch the “Not-A-Metroidvania” Bundle , available NOW! It contains four of the best games in the [spoiler]genre-that-shall-not-be-named[/spoiler]: Dead Cells by Motion Twin, Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition by DrinkBox Studios, Salt and Sanctuary by Ska Studios, and Sundered by Thunder Lotus Games… hey, that’s US! For those unfamiliar with how bundles work on Steam, Steam doesn’t force you to re-buy the games you already have. Customers that purchase the Bundle will pay for, and receive, just the titles that they don’t already have in their Steam library, and a 20% discount will be applied to the total. In other words, this Bundle rewards your exquisite taste in games by letting you “complete your collection” and get a nice bonus discount on titles you were always tempted to get, but never got around to it. That’s right, I did say bonus discount – because from now until this Friday, June 8th, each one of the titles in the Bundle are already discounted for Midweek Madness. Dead Cells will feature an additional 33% discount, while Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition, Salt and Sanctuary, and Sundered will be discounted by an additional 40%. Again, the 20% Bundle discount gets applied on top of those discounts, which sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me! Check out the “Not-A-Metroidvania” Bundle HERE . Have a great week, y’all! – Rodrigue and the Thunder Lotus Team

Take it outside!

Friends, Take my word for it: you simply haven't lived until you've gone toe to toe with Odin, The Allfather, and summarily handed his ass to him while riding a bus to work. And behold! Jotun: Valhalla Edition, out today on Nintendo Switch, allows you to do just that! Check out Jotun on the American Nintendo Store Check out Jotun on the European Nintendo Store And if riding public transit ain't your bag, our fans have imagined plenty of other fun places one could now conceivably play Jotun...



At any rate, we're super stoked to be releasing our first game on the Switch! If you are too, we hope you'll share the news, and maybe pick up a copy for yourself! Cheers, y'all! - Rodrigue and the Thunder Lotus Team

Jotun Thunders onto Nintendo Switch in Two Weeks!

Hey everyone, Truly stoked to share this epic news with y'all: get ready for six more weeks of winter, as we're finally bringing Jotun to the Nintendo Switch! Jotun: Valhalla Edition drops on the vaunted console worldwide on April 27th, 2018! Have a gander at the launch trailer, why dontcha?
Needless to say, we're very excited to be bringing our first game to the Switch - we're all life-long Nintendo fans over here, and have been in absolute lurve with the Switch since launch. We wanted to take the time and make sure we were bringing the best possible version of Jotun to the system. Happily, the Switch has the horsepower to showcase Jotun in all its hand-drawn glory, even in handheld mode, so those who played the Wii U version especially will notice the great job the team has done remastering the graphics for the Switch release. Also, since we play a lot with scale in Jotun, Thora often being dwarfed by titanic bosses, we had to rework some of the gameplay to allow for play on a potentially much smaller screen.

Keep your eyes on our social channels for a chance to win!

We hope you're all stoked to play the game on the Switch and, say, to beat Valhalla Mode without using God Powers *while commuting to work*! We're so happy to finally have one of our games on the Switch that we'll be holding drawings to win Jotun Switch codes and other sweet goodies! Recommend you stay tuned to our social channels between now and launch day, is all I'm sayin'... Facebook | Twitter So stay frosty, y'all! Jotun is out on Switch in two weeks!

What's happening with Sundered?

That's a very good question, Bill! The team remains hard at work lovingly polishing delicious DLC for the game. I can confirm that said DLC has been content-complete for a few weeks (and that it's awesome), but we're still tweaking it 'til it's up to your/our standards of excellence. We're tantalizingly close to being able to share Sundered news with you - news that goes beyond the DLC itself. If I say anymore, I'll be summarily killed. But I assure y'all that you won't be disappointed. Stay tuned! - Rodrigue and the Thunder Lotus

Happy Holidays from Thunder Lotus!

Hey everyone, We're celebrating the end of a banner year here at Thunder Lotus! We welcomed over two million new TLG game owners to the family in 2017, and wanted to thank each and every one of you for your overwhelming support of Jotun and Sundered ! Happy Holidays from all of us here at Thunder Lotus Games to the best damn fans in gaming! Below, I'm sharing a look back on our last twelve months, but I'd be remiss if I didn't first direct your attention to the Thunder Lotus Collection!
We're happy to report that both Jotun and Sundered are on sale for the Steam Winter Sale, with Sundered enjoying its deepest discount yet at -50%! If you were still on the fence about Sundered, it's a great time to pick it up (and spread the word)! Do note as well that The Thunder Lotus Collection adds an extra -10% discount on top of that if you purchase our titles together (or are looking to complete your collection!). It's a crazy good deal, yo - worth a share, dontcha think? This concludes our yuletide PSA. And now...

Our Year In Pictures

We wanted to take a moment to look back on a wonderful (and wonderfully busy) year for our team! We hit the ground running in January this year, putting the finishing touches on a then-secret Kickstarter project that you should all be quite familiar with by now! Here, Will goofs off with Sam from Compulsion Games during the filming of a Kickstarter promo video:
It was a stellar month: thanks to our awesome fans, we quickly powered through funding milestones throughout the first hours and days of the campaign, and meanwhile, we were declared co-winners of the Ubisoft Indie Series!
Oh, and we caught the eye of one of our heroes.
January also kicked off a series of cross-country trips which brought us first to PAX South in San Antonio.
With our backers' tremendous support, we closed Sundered's Kickstarter campaign in February 800% funded, due in no small part to the surprise announcement of our partnership with the lovely and talented folks at Limited Run Games. (LRG's Doug pictured here with our Art Director at MIX!)
In March, our travels brought us down to the IGN offices, where we were invited to sign their wall of fame, humbled by names of gaming royalty that had come before us.
Later that month, we brought a small Thunder Lotus army down to Boston to greet enthusiastic fans and media at PAX East.
Spring found us bearing down in earnest through the rounds of Sundered’s Alpha and Beta periods, while our resident hand-drawn animation genius’ prodigious output continued unabated.
Our appearance at the sunshiny E3 gigantocon heralded the coming of summer and the last straightaway leading to Sundered’s July release!
By summer, production was rolling a mile a minute, a blur of incessant testing, tweaking, testing, re-tooling, and testing while gorgeous fan art multiplied on the walls of our office.
In July, a Jotun free weekend added two million people (of exquisite taste) to the Thunder Lotus family overnight, and before we could say R'lehshyshtag', Sundered was unleashed upon the world, happily catching the eye of the likes of Rock, Paper, Shotgun (among many others)!
Upon our return from much needed vacation time in the fall, we kept a low profile, working in hushed secrecy on [spoiler]Sundered DLC...[/spoiler] While bringing a new creative director onto the team to head up our “Top Secret!, OMG! That’s so awesome!” third project. (Gonna be a while before we can tell you more - sorry/not sorry for the tease!) ːsteammockingː Meet Nicolas Guérin, who has that fresh "new creative director" smell!

Much love from all of us here!

That’s all she wrote, folks! Stick a fork in 2017, it’s fully done! From all of us here, thanks again for helping to make this the best year yet for Thunder Lotus! Stay happy and healthy this holiday season, and we’ll see you in the new year! Cheers, and much love! - Rodrigue and the Thunder Lotus Team

A word of thanks from Sundered's Creative Director.

Wow. Launch week is over. As always, it was crazy. There’s nothing like the feeling of jumping off a cliff without a parachute. And we made it. We’re thankful for all of you who believed in us and supported us and the game. Thank you all for giving Sundered a chance. We are extremely proud of the game we created, produced and shipped. I feel the game is unique and challenging and, once you get the hang of it, really fun. I hope Sundered is a game you will remember for a long time. At launch, we had some hiccups. Some of them due to excessive difficulty. We fixed that almost immediately. We’re experiencing technical difficulties on PS4. We’re fixing them. The game’s first loading is too long. We’re fixing it. Exploration doesn’t have enough variety. We’re fixing that too. Some of you don’t like the hordes. We’re not changing them. Several of you came in with expectations of a classic Metroidvania. We are sorry for the confusion, but we won’t be changing fundamental game systems. Sundered is what is it is and that’s why we love it and are proud of it. Looking to the future, you can expect continued support. Be it additional content, bug fixes or quality-of-life improvements. Sundered has tons of potential. Seeing some of you put in over 50 hours into the game within a single week is extremely satisfying and humbling. We know the game isn’t perfect, but we’re fiercely proud of the step up we took from Jotun. And we can’t wait to show you what we’re doing next. We wish you all the best, and, from everyone here at Thunder Lotus: Resist or Embrace. - Will Dubé, President & CEO, Thunder Lotus Games

Hey everyone, We just wanted to let you know that we're into the last straightaway of Sundered's production, which means we've mapped out all the key dates leading up to the launch date of the game, which we've officially set for [spoiler][just kidding!][/spoiler].

For today, we just wanted to thank all our Beta testers once again for participating in Sundered's Closed Beta! We invite you all to keep on fighting through the Beta caverns to your hearts' content, and keep being so generous with your feedback on the Steam forums . But keep in mind that all good things must end, and that access to the Closed Beta will officially end on July 12th. In other words, all active pre-release Sundered Steam codes (Alpha or Beta) will no longer be functional after that date, in preparation for the launch code rollout.

Hey everyone! Huge news today, as we're revealing our Sundered Kickstarter campaign! --> Preview the Sundered Kickstarter campaign (and share it too!) We had a small, dedicated army of backers with us throughout the crucial testing phase of the Jotun project, so we know firsthand how crucial the input of enthusiastic alpha and beta players is for making a good game something special. To all the fans we've proudly recruited since day one, we want to be abundantly clear: we simply couldn't imagine completing Sundered without repeating that great Kickstarter experience. In short, the campaign’s goal is to get *you* involved in the process. It's about polish, feedback and making Sundered the best it can be. We hope you'll check the campaign out, consider joining us for the alpha and/or beta, and share the campaign with any you believe might be interested. We'll be live on Kickstarter on January 16th - we hope to see you then! In the meantime, don't forget to click on "Notify me on launch" on our Kickstarter page so you don't miss out!

Sundered Will Be Out This Summer!

We've included a production timeline on the Kickstarter page as well, officially revealing the release window for Sundered in the process!

The trailer features the very first images of the third region of the game - Eschaton City - along with new enemies, and a glimpse at the horrifying corruption process Eshe must undergo... should you choose to have her Embrace, that is!
You'll find the new trailer front-and-center on our store page as well as our our YouTube channel. The trailer was graciously revealed by Sony this morning, and we do recommend you reading through the accompanying PlayStation Blog post in which our Creative Director Will serves out juicy morsels of info about Sundered's gameplay! Hope you're as excited about this trailer as we are - and if so, do please like, share, and comment! Cheers, #ResistOrEmbrace - Rodrigue and the Thunder Lotus Team

Hello Steam! We are super excited to bring you Thunder Lotus' sophomore game, Sundered! Sundered is a horrifying fight for survival and sanity. You play Eshe, a wanderer trapped in ever-changing caverns teeming with eldritch horrors. Building on ​Jotun’s success, we took what worked from the game (the art style, big boss fights and immersion) and fused it with infinite replayability and the non­linear action-­packed gameplay of the metroidvania genre. We hope you'll enjoy the game and can't wait to tell you more! As always, poke us in the comments or on Facebook/Twitter and we'll be happy to answer any of your questions! Resists or Embrace. - Will and the Thunder Lotus Team
