>Skylines

I, uh, actually really really don't trust these guys. Skylines has been embroiled in controversy for a while now and Magicka is... technically a product? Not a completed one, that's for sure.

Hoping for the best.

What's wrong with Magicka? It's a great game.

Optimization is laughable even for time of development. Riddled with gamebreaking/crash-relating bugs.

Arrowhead has never been in the business of making functional games. Even HD1 and their current baby, HD2, is horrifically ravaged by technical errors. And publisher focus has them instead on content. Which means, much like Magicka and HD1, this will happen again.

Ultimately the decision has been made and it's not mine to pick, but I will confess, I'm apprehensive and if this goes south, it'll be another reason to not buy games legitimately. Publishers have been just causing too much damage.

Even so, Magicka was a really fun game. Definitely very enjoyable, especially in coop.

Given the dedication and love you have clearly poured into KeeperRL over the years, we trust you are doing what is best at this point!

well crap goodbye keeper, the people who worked those games were parasitic paradox interactive. dont give a damn really how fair you think it is or was, weve all heard that crap from others. say dying light 2, bigger than you, made the same promise, and now look at them.

everything from paradox interactive is destroyed when they get their hands on it. funny thing was i was always keeping this game on a shelf cause i was invested elsewhere. now its just goign to go to the abyss and never come back.

Totally deserved man! Congratulations!

Yeah, I still think it'll backfire in the end, but hey, hopefully I'm wrong.

swedish?
as we might get one update a per year between swedish holidays

Hopefully things go well. The fact that I can't seem to find any info on the company, and that their site doesn't seem to list *anything* they've worked on is concerning, so keep your eyes peeled.

Hopefully everything goes well though. KeeperRL is a nice little game, and I wish you and it a successful future.

I just hope this wont make your game bad, the game is good, but the greed ruins everything. I wish you the lbest of the uck

Hell yeah! Congratulations! You've made a great game and here's hoping your new publisher helps you reach a larger audience.

congrats man publishers do lift a lot of stress from a devs pov my first game as a dev went really hectic for me and was incredibly stressful especially considering I'm not good at confrontation.

I inevitably had to shut my game down way back then but now days I have no such problems , Elda are starting to rack up quite the array of games man ^^

Thank you for keeping us informed. Good luck with your new partners! (Also, after 10+ years, you are somewhat of a veteran yourself, too)

Sad Meatshield: how do you imagine they could make the game bad? I'm still the one working on it...

Just do whatever you think it's good for you man, you deserve it.

I rather like direct devs who are doing "their" thing without unecessary in between parties. But you know what's best for yourself , your project and I hope it works in the best possible way for you. Therefore hello zelda entertainment. As long as they are not affiliated with ubisoft or EA it should be fine :D
