Great news everyone! As some of you might have heard, we signed a publishing deal with the fine folks of Devolver Digital. The intrepid men and women who helped bring into the world games like Hotline Miami, Broforce or Talos Principle are now going to help Okhlos see the light of day (and they will have to deal once again with senseless violence, pixel art and deep philosophical questions).
What does this mean for the game? For starters, we know this deal will help us make Okhlos a more polished game, by increasing the QA and localization efforts for instance. Their knowledge and expertise will also make the launch as smooth as possible. Then, and perhaps most important of all, it will help us focus on making the game instead of spending time talking about the game and promoting it. So, win-win for everybody!
They are not ones to waste time, so what was the first thing they did? Bring Okhlos to PAX Prime!
Needless to say it was a great experience. We had the chance to show Okhlos to many, many people, and also got to meet a few who already knew and loved the game. It was four days of frantic activity but very fruitful. So we are extremely happy that they made room in the Devolver booth for an angry mob of ancient Greeks.
This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
