- German Flood Relief Event - 28 July 2021
We are following the events in the flooded areas with sadness and deep sympathy and are shocked how many people have lost their lives, their livelihood, or their life's work. Our thoughts are with those affected and their families who are still - after the water slowly recedes - holding out in uncertainty and fighting for their belongings. We are full of pride and admiration for the service of volunteers, farmers, firefighters, soldiers, police officers, and disaster services who are working day and night in the flooded areas and who are sacrificially working under the most adverse circumstances for the people in need. We do our part! Together with our studios Massive Miniteam (Spitlings), Paintbucket Games (Through The Darkest Of Times) and Honig Studios (El Hijo - A Wild West Tale), we started a Steam event - German Flood Relief - where 20% of every purchase will be donated to Aktion…
- Every Little Big Workshop is a "Labor of Love" on its own - 25 November 2020
Every Workshop Is a Literal Labor of Love Thanks to the community's passion for Little Big Workshop, we were able to keep updating the game with a unique DLC, patches, optimization and seasonal themes. This love, paired with the little workers' enthusiasm for their labor, is what made us partake in the Steam Awards. Now you can nominate Little Big Workshop for the 2020 "Labor of Love" award. Eco-Sim Made Fun for Good & Evil In the new, aptly named "Evil DLC", the infamous Bladh is looking for a malicious apprentice and he's got his eyes on you! Are you ready to rid yourself of all virtues and dive into the wonderfully corrupt world of corporate greed? Then get ready to fight for market superiority with no holds barred. Sabotage the competition, take them over when they're vulnerable, and make them work for you. The base game, however, struck a much more amiable tone. Starting out with j…
