MarkoH01: I just noticed this on Twitter a few days ago and was so happy to see GOG mentioned in their trailer. Will definitely buy it. Primordia was a great game and I am sure this will be great as well. Hoping for these as well - however keep in mind how long it took for Primordia to get this (really good) German localisation. At first it also was just a fanpatch and it took even longer until they decided to integrate it into the game. As a German I will always love to play my games in my native language - however unfortunately more often than not even if there is a German localisation it is far from good because a good localisation is costly and time consuming. I ended up improving German localisations of a few indie games in the past but of course it would be much better to have those subs perfect at release which unfortunately is rare. So let's hope not just for a German localisation but also for a good one ... as well as other additional languages of course :)
I asked the main dev and he said he would like to have localizations, but yes, we will have to wait. GOG release was 99% given the Primordia precendence and WJE. I believe we have a good bet on Fallen Gods too. It's going to play like a King of Dragon Pass, and it belongs to GOG, whoever the pub will be!
Great job for making German subs better. Maybe I have played or will play a few things that have been corrected by you, so I don't end up learning bad German :D

Yeah, I hope the story is on par. I don't want weird for weird sake.

"The seed of Strangeland’s narrative was sadness, and the soil in which it fell included the works of Mervyn Peake, Francisco Goya, and Ray Bradbury."

I hope so, I can see the two painting artists influences (but this game's artworks are far uglier) but the Ray Bradbury one need more proof.

I know Mervyn Peake as the Gormenghast book author. Was he a painter too?

Ohhh, it looks really nice!

Kudos to the devs for choosing the slightly unusual resolution of 640x360. One could think of it as 640x480 cropped to 16:9, but more importantly it's exactly 1/2 of 720p and 1/3 of 1080p.

Very much so! I believe he illustrated some of his own works and also illustrated an edition of Grimm's tales.

He's a writer? I did Google Search and most results are his paintings. Great paintings too.

"Best known for the Gormenghast Trilogy, Mervyn Peake, who died in 1968 and whose centenary is celebrated this year, was also an artist, an illustrator and a poet."
Thanks, you are opening a world to me. His Alice in Wonderland illustrations, among other things, are superb! Sadly the Italian edition of Gormenghast I read didn't have any illustraition so I missed on that side of his art.
