Finally we are happy to be able to announce the long awaited launch of Chapter One of The Journey Down for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.

From the very first day we started working on the original version of The Journey Down, we had a vision that we’d some day port it to handheld devices. Because of this, we decided very early on to keep interactions in the game as slimmed, intuitive and as uncomplicated as possible. This resulted in a nice and sleek interface on PC and Mac, but now also in a very handheld-friendly way of interacting with the game on iOS. We are awfully proud of how it turned out, and are happy to finally be able to share it with you!

This first week the game can be purchased for the DIRT CHEAP launch price of $0.99 and will later return to its normal price of $2.99.

If you’ve already given the first chapter a spin on iOS, please consider helping us spread the word by reviewing the game on the App Store. It really makes a difference. Thank you!

In other news, we can now finally announce a big secret we’ve been holding in for quite some time – we are coming to Steam January 9! Be sure to check out the awesome “coming soon” page that actually proves this to be true!

I just finished working on our spankin’ new “Art of TJD: Chapter One” PDF which now can be downloaded together with the game over on indiegamestand if you beat the current average, which at the time of writing  is no more than $1.39. That’s a lower price than the game has ever been sold at before, so don’t miss out!

The “Art of” PDF contains a bunch of haphazard rants by me about various parts of our art process, ranging from our cultural influences all the way down to the nitty gritty art-process detailing the development and thoughts behind several of the game’s backdrops.

On top of supporting our development, by picking up TJD1 from indiegamestand you will also support our favorite charity organization Medecins Sans Frontieres, who will be receiving 10% of the proceeds.
