In the meantime, a short summary of Interactive Fate\'s journey so far, starting with the release of https://store.steampowered.com/app/812040/Shortest_Trip_to_Earth/?snr=2___\"" style="color:#bb86fc;text-decoration:none;">Shortest Trip to Earth (our debut title) in 2019, after 5+ years of development.

Before and after Shortest Trip\'s development, we also created the cute graphics for https://store.steampowered.com/app/834740/Circle_Empires/\"" style="color:#bb86fc;text-decoration:none;">Circle Empires (released 2018) and https://store.steampowered.com/app/1100260/Circle_Empires_Rivals/\"" style="color:#bb86fc;text-decoration:none;">Circle Empires Rivals (released 2020).

After releasing Shortest Trip, we started work on https://store.steampowered.com/app/1643180/Artist_Life_Simulator/\"" style="color:#bb86fc;text-decoration:none;">Artist Life Simulator around 2020. It\'s a grim yet whimsical survial game featuring art and feelings, partially inspired by (but very different from) the indie title Cultist Simulator.
