Another 365 days are almost over, and so the Earth has completed another orbit around the Sun. Trying to determine the worth of a day, and nevertheless a year, can be a tricky, almost impossible task. At Apog however, we are confident that we’ve made the most of the past year.
Even though we can’t give any juicy details just yet, we can assure you that a lot has happened with Atmosfar. As you’ve probably seen, a lot of new faces and talents has joined the studio, and everyone has contributed in their own, unique way to chisel out the world of Atmosfar.
During the year, we’ve seen our airborne world take form in front of our eyes. Creating an entirely new world can be quite a challenge, but by combining talented people and good cooperation, we’re on a good way to breathe life into our vision. We’re slowly, but confidently, getting to know Atmosfar better and better, from the formations of clouds to the seed of each plant. Developing a game is not only about putting everything together in the right order, but also about getting to know the mechanics, the gameplay and the stories that this new world holds.
During 2024, we’ve not only gotten to know Atmosfar better, but each other as well. As previously mentioned, a lot of new people has joined our studio, and everyone has truly contributed their part to turn the concept into a reality. But in order to create fun and exciting material for players, we also have to have fun ourselves! Therefore, a major focus for Apog this year has been to getting to know our roles, as well as our colleagues better. And as it just turns out, our colleagues are quite an exciting group of people to be around!
We’ve moved into our new, quite bigger office, and spent some time and effort to make it as cozy and comfortable as possible. We’ve decorated our Christmas tree. We’ve celebrated birthdays. We’ve played games. We’ve done competitions. We’ve had parties. Long story short: we’ve had a really good time together!
But as we’ve lit candles and curled up in the office, a storm has been raging outside. A storm that many of our branch colleagues has gotten caught up in, leading to unfortunate and sad results. Even though this is a challenging and tremulous time to be in the games industry, Apog Labs is keeping it’s course. At the horizon, is Atmosfar.
We truly look forward to seeing you next year, and for the first time, we’re making a New Year’s resolution: In the upcoming year, we will provide more frequent and detailed updates on Atmosfar. We are currently working on setting up various community hubs where you’ll be able to get in-depth updates on the game. We are really looking forward to it.
Until then, we’d like to thank you for being here. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
