Hi everyone!

We’re pleased to announce that the Windows version of Machinarium has just received a technical update on Steam:
  • DirectX 12 support – This helps ensure compatibility with current and future devices.
  • Engine optimizations
  • Updated mouse controls - The game now behaves as expected when you switch the function of Left and Right mouse buttons in Windows; cursor speed matches your settings in Windows
Compatibility
In case of the unlikely event that you can’t run the new DirectX 12 version, don’t worry! An older DirectX 9 executable is also part of this installation. You'll be asked which of the versions should be used when you launch the game on Steam.

Gamepad Support
At this time, the game should work fine with PlayStation, Xbox, and generic controllers. If you experience any issues with gamepad controls, please ensure that Steam Input is disabled for this game.

Thank you for your continued support!

Machinarium, our first full-length game originally released in 2009, turns 15 years old today!

The success of Machinarium has allowed us to remain a fully independent studio, continue making games we love, and even grow a little to have more teams working on multiple projects at once. Nowadays, we are developing four games, including the cardboard-built Phonopolis, and we look forward to sharing more with you when the time is right!

If you’ve been thinking of picking up something Amanita, now might be the perfect time. Our early Christmas merch sale starts today and runs until November 6 to make sure all gifts are delivered in time, wherever you are. The sale, of course, includes the adorable Josef and Berta plushies or the Machinarium soundtrack by Tomáš Dvořák (aka Floex) on vinyl ːjosefːːmuchomurkaːːbertaː

We are forever grateful for the support you've shown us over the many years.

Thank you!

The Independent Games Festival has been around for over 20 years and now, for the first time ever, comes a Steam event dedicated not only to this year’s IGF winners and nominees but also to some of the greatest indie games that succeeded at the festival in the years before. Until 20 July, you can grab dozens of awesome games at a discount and even try a few demos, such as the beautifully stylish Nirvana Noir by Feral Cat Den or 11bit’s latest title, The Alters. Machinarium was awarded for 'Excellence in Visual Art' back in 2009.

You'll find it all on the special sale page: https://store.steampowered.com/sale/IGF_CelebrationDays


We’ve been lucky to succeed at IGF five times with Samorost 2, Machinarium, Botanicula, CHUCHEL, and most recently, Phonopolis. Of course - with the obvious exception of Phonopolis that we're currently working on - all of these games and their DLCs are also on sale with up to 85% discount!

Enjoy the event and have a great summer,

A few months ago, our beloved duo DVA recorded a very special at-the-campfire performance of some of your favorite Botanicula tunes. You may have seen the concert during this year's edition of Save & Sound festival here on Steam, but in case you missed it, you can finally watch it in its entirety on YouTube. And it's never a bad idea to play it again...

Enjoy and juchu! ːmrfeatherː ːmrlanternː ːmrpoppyheadː ːmrsmushroomː ːmrtwigː

We’re excited to introduce Phonopolis - a new hand-crafted adventure set in a dystopian city made of cardboard where everybody obeys the oppressive Leader's orders - except for one young man… Enjoy the first teaser trailer! It’s still going to take us a generous amount of time to finish the game - please don’t expect it to come out within the next 12 months - but we’re so glad to finally be able to share the first bits and pieces with you.


You can now add Phonopolis to your Steam wishlist. You'll also find a collection of new screenshots on its Steam page; and on its News hub, there's a post where you can read more about the game's story, inspirations, and creative process. And it's also the place where we'll be sharing further updates ːsamorost_spiritː
