"At a world premiere unveiling at the GameCity festival in Nottingham today, founder Jakub Dvorský said Botanicula will definitely release this winter."

"Dvorský also unveiled the first teaser video of Samorost 3, coming (not very) soon. Samorost 3 is currently Amanita Design's main project. It takes place across seven planets, each with its own, unique, style. The art is a combination of real photos and computer painting. As with all Amanita games, music is key."

"...the PlayStation 3 version of Machinarium will launch this winter."

Thank you for this thread, I've been following this, and was disappointed to see that not only is there no new screens or video of Botanicula, but I also thought that Kooky dubbed in English was supposed to be released during this event?

Do you know any news for when we can expect to be able to buy Kooky in English?

I am very excited to hear that Machinarium will be coming out for PS3 this winter, and that Botanicua should be ready this winter as well :)

I expected Samorost3 to be a very long wait, so no surprise there
But the news that they are trying to release it on consoles too makes me EXTREMELY excited, not only will I be able to buy it on PC, but also buy it on console to play on the television, and it will reach more people too

of all of their games, their approach to Samorost3's game design sounds the most intriguing
