Hello everyone,

We’d like to apologize for the major bugs that some players have encountered at launch. We are serious about addressing these issues and have begun working on (and even fixed) many of them already.

As a small indie shipping our first game, we decided to launch on multiple platforms and in multiple languages. This should not have been done at the expense of our game’s quality and experience.

Over the past 5 years, our small team has put our hearts and souls into creating this game. We want it to be the best experience it can be. We are going to continue listening to you and making improvements.

Our sole focus right now is bug fixes and making game improvements. We’ve been working long hours to push patches as quickly as we can. If you are experiencing any bugs, or just want to share some feedback with us, you can make a report here. It will be sent straight to the dev team for review. We’d like to extend a big thanks to everyone who’s filled out the form already, you have helped us make a better game.

You can expect more patches and fixes in the weeks and months to come.


Our latest patch takes care of the following:

• Fixed respawn bugs and broken animation/control
  
• Improved sound and music
  
• Improved collisions and dynamics
  
• Improved setting controls, and saving
  
• Improve statistics, skills, and achievements
  
• Polished various missions
  
• Other minor stability, guidance, and cosmetic improvements
  
• Exploration Mode enters Beta: We have decided to denote Exploration Mode as a Beta thanks to your feedback. We have improvements in mind that we will begin experimenting with over the months to come.
  
• Fixed crashes in Exploration Mode

More improvements are coming soon! We can’t thank you enough for the patience you’ve shown us so far.

Hey everyone,

It's finally happened!!

AWAY: The Survival Series is out on Steam!

Voyage through a world where nature runs wild on one sugar glider's quest to save his family. Immerse yourself in living environments and climb, glide, sneak, and sprint throughout your journey.

We'll be running a launch sale for the next week, so **don't miss your chance to save 10%!**

Thank you to all our community members for supporting us through development - it's been a longer process than we expected, and we may not have made it all the way without your understanding and encouragement. Now, after years of long hours, we hope it's everything you wanted and more.

We are working on bug fixes are the moment! Patching them as quickly as we can. If you experience a bug, please feel free to report it here so we can begin working on them!


Best,

the AWAY dev team

PS. If you do enjoy AWAY, we kindly ask that you leave us a Steam review! It honestly helps us more than you would expect. Thank you all again!

Finally, the news you've all been waiting for...



AWAY will be releasing September 28, 2021!

After years and years of development, we're so excited to hear what you think of our sugar glider and his journey through a wild world.

AWAY is a bit of a between-genres game; mostly an adventure game with platforming and nature sim aspects, it doesn't fit super clearly into one genre. So if you have any questions about the gameplay, hardware requirements, or anything else AWAY please let us know and we'll do our best to give (spoiler-free) responses!

In these last couple weeks before release, wishlisting and spreading the word about AWAY are the best things you can do to help us out, and we can't thank you enough for your support :)

See you soon, sugar gliders!
