A big “Thank you!” to all the people who voted for the Sandra and Woo adventure on Steam Greenlight! The campaign was successful and the developer team Feline Fuelled Games will now be able to sell the game on Steam at a budget price if everything goes according to plan! This is great news for all of us since Steam is by far the biggest distribution platform for indie games. Feline Fuelled Games, which is headed by mother, now has two greenlit games. Their other game, Roll-playing Game, is an arcade game inspired by Marble Madness.

The developer team is now working on the remaining main issues discussed in the campaign, in particular the quality of the animations and some character models.

Today, I have some good news for all fans of Sandra and Woo! The point-and-click adventure “Sandra and Woo in the Cursed Adventure”, developed by Feline Fuelled Games, is now almost ready for release and you can

Vote for the game on Steam Greenlight!

Games which get enough votes on Steam Greenlight will become available for sale on the Steam platform which is an extremely important milestone for indie games such as ours. So if you’d like to see the Sandra and Woo game become a success, please cast your “Yes” vote on the page linked above. Positive comments are also helpful.

Here is the most important info about the game if you’re not already familiar with it:

“Sandra and Woo in the Cursed Adventure” is a classical point-and-click adventure which is about 10 hours long and consists of six chapters. There will be an English and a German version of the game, both with a professional voice-over. The graphics consist of 3D rendered models in front of hand-drawn backgrounds.

The story begins with Sandra and Woo getting sucked into a cursed PC game. Now they have to find a way to get out of it again. Fortunately, they can count on the help of Sandra’s friends Cloud and Larisa. Of course you’ll gradually learn more about the background story of this “accident”. Over the course of the game, you’ll control various characters from the comic. So while Cloud may be at his wits’ end in a certain situation, our beloved pyromaniac Larisa might have just the right idea how to solve the problem with a little more destructive approach.

If you want to know more about the game, you can find additional info and screenshots on the game’s website.

It’s time! Time to post the top 10 of the Sandra and Woo and Gaia artwork contest 2015! If you haven’t done so already, also check out the submissions placed between position #11 and #25 and the other submissions we received.

With 9 pieces out of 10, the top 10 are dominated by Sandra and Woo related pieces of artwork this year. Although Gaia is almost as popular as Sandra and Woo among our readers, the best and most creative artists overwhelmingly decided to draw Sandra and Woo characters this year. And all of these 9 entries feature Woo! While I would have liked to see more Gaia related work in the top 10, I had to rate the quality of each entry independently from the nature of the other entries. Anything else would have been unfair in one way or the other.

To our gold and diamond patrons: I will offer a convenient download archive containing all submissions in their original size in a week or so.

The submissions are ordered from place 10 to 1. Since they were completely equal in quality in my eyes, I decided to place two submissions on position #3 as well as on #5. The artists on #3 will receive a prize money of ($150 + $125) / 2 = $137.50 and the artists on #5 will receive ($100 + $75) / 2 = $87.50.

Our yearly Sandra and Woo and Gaia artwork contest ended last Monday. We received 82 submissions in total so I needed a while to prepare everything. Today, I’m showing you all entries that unfortunately didn’t make it into the top 25.

The following list of entries starts with the six entries from the submissions placed on position 26+ which I liked the most, in alphabetical order. The subsequent entries are then ordered alphabetically again. The artists’ names are colored red if a link to their personal website is available.
