Hello folks,
Amarantus was released one year ago. It's been a big year:
- Over a thousand copies sold !!
- Very Positive on Steam !!
- Very on-brand custom emojis and also Steam trading cards!!
- Amarantus got reviewed by Eurogamer !!
- Amarantus got on two GOTY lists!
- Amarantus won multiple awards !!
- People drew fanart! Meme fanart! Flower imagery fanart! Family friendly fanart! Family unfriendly fanart!* The full spectrum of fanart!
- We released a soundtrack ! and an artbook!
- The artbook made people cry!
- There are, like, multiple full playthroughs of the game on YouTube now, you can go check them out
- I got to meet up with other members of the team and we got to hang out IRL and have a nice time :)
Thank you for playing, for sharing, for checking it out, for telling people about it. For anything that gave this one little game a little bit of real estate in someone's head for a little bit of time.
Thinking back to a year ago, there are so many ways I might have imagined feeling now - and most of them were bad. I was determined to be pessimistic pre-launch.
Instead, thanks to you, and yours, we get to feel satisfied. I don't think there's anything better. Thank you.
*(I won't link this, but it's out there! Someone made money on Patreon off drawing sexy Amarantus characters! What greater success is there!!)
