I fully understand you are now busy with current project of Machinarium. I just wanted to ask you if you plan to work on Samorost 3 in the future, being the Samorost 1 and 2 the best of your recent work.
Thanks for reply.

While waiting for JD's response - if you haven't yet - see/play through Amanita's Questionaut.  It's soundtrack was created by the same musician that has inspired your enthusiasm throughout the Samorost series.

Here's the direct link to Questionaut, see what you think:

Yes I would love to create Samorost 3 in the future. We will see after Machinarium ;)

I Wanted To Say That Your Work Is More Then Perfect  :) And Thank You For That!! Can't Wait To See Samorost 3, Mean While Is There A Release Date For Machinarium??
Thanks You For Replying,  ;D GodSpeed!!

Samorost 3 should blow our minds :D

ITS BEEN AWHILE, would be awesome if you made one, or as i would rather prefer you made a sequal of machinarium, and it's great story that i loved ;)

who didn't? ;)

Hallo. I support the request for Samorost 3 ... it would be great.
It 's a very poetic and sweet game. I loved it.
I think that the 65.155 people who have viewed this subject think the same thing and are waiting for it!!!
Thank you for this beautiful travel.

P.S.
What's the name of the dog?? :)

No one knows.  ;D   
 

i must admit machinarim is great and can not wait 2, still i love samorost as my best favorite. i would say machinarium is the kingdom of puzzle world, samorost is the point & crick version of the modern secret garden. in samorost, games are more focused on the interaction with the story line in this fantasy world. i am so attached to this boy & dog, so i need 3.  xx

If you still wait for Machinarium 2, then prepare to wait a lot cause there's not gonna be a second version of Machinarium, as the creator himself says it.

And Samorost 3 has a chance to be created, as the creator himself says again ;)

P.S.: Can't wait for Samorost 3 too :D

ok.thanks. then i will be a good girl and wait :)

Developers, please make Samorostium - a mixture of samorost and machinarium  ;D
I guess there left many non-used backgrounds and ideas from both games

Yea something when, Joseph meets Samorost (or how is the white-dressed man from Samorost called). It would be epic

неужели?

Slightly altered, might as well fit in as many as possible.

It would be great if "Samorost 3" (or at least its Collector's Edition) will contain offline versions of "Samorost 1" and "Samorost 2" (demo). It would get more interest to the whole series and gets players to buy the "Samorost 2".

The folks at GamesPressure.com had the brass to go ahead and create their own cover art for Samorost 3.   ::)

Or they could just put in all of 2. At $5 it's not going to add a huge amount to the final price.

From today's Amanita newsletter:


Can't express the joy I felt when reading this line! Samorost 1 and 2 are still two my favorite games, no other title was able to match that unique atmosphere (Machinarium came pretty close though, haha). I still have fond memories playing them over and over again  *looks at his genuine Samorost 2 CD*

I wish you all the best in developing Samorost 3!

Wasn't sure what Ilsyde was talking about until i looked in my SPAM folder.  Sure enough, from <info at amanita-design.net>  (have a look for yourselves if you haven't see this yet and be sure to mark that email address as non-spam)

we would like to inform you about a couple of news from our studio.

If you enjoyed the music in our games Samorost2, Questionaut or Machinarium, you should definitely check out the new record from our music composer Tomas 'Floex' Dvorak. The album is called Zorya and it's brilliant.
Listen to whole album for free at: www.floex.cz/ (http://www.floex.cz/)
CD / LP / digital DL available via: www.amanita-design.net/about/projects/floex-zorya.html (http://www.amanita-design.net/about/projects/floex-zorya.html)

Recently we have also released Machinarium for iPad2, which you can find here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/machinarium/id459189186?mt=8 (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/machinarium/id459189186?mt=8)
Android version of this game should be ready in a matter of weeks.

Machinarium for Playstation 3 is also in the works. It should be released this winter.

We are also hard working on two new games: Botanicula (www.botanicula.net/ (http://www.botanicula.net/)) which should be finished this winter and we already started working on our second full-length game Samorost3.

If you are interested, please check out our blog (www.amanita-design.net/blog/ (http://www.amanita-design.net/blog/)) from time to time for more news.

Thanks for your support!

Can someone please tell me where to sign up for the newsletter :/

As far as I know, the newsletters are sent to all the registered forum members by JD himself.  ( sender is "Amanita Design" <info@amanita-design.net> )

The last one (pasted below) was sent in October 2011.  My guess is that your copy ended up in your SPAM folder ( that's where I found mine! )  I would suggest that you set up a filter to capture future emails sent from "Amanita Design" and perhaps also sign up for the Amanita Design blog's RSS feed ( here (http://amanita-design.net/blog/feed/rss/) ) to get notified whenever the blog is updated.

Hope that helps.

Yes it helped :))

Thankyou! Can't wait!

Is there any word on a release date?

There was a very vague forecast at some point, but I can't remember the source. I think they were aiming for next year sometime (maybe the year after).

Oh my...


Beautyful scenaries...

Cant wait...  :o

Amanita Design: "Samorost 3 will be released no earlier than 2015"  ;D

(http://cs10167.vk.me/u11674024/131085959/x_f95558da.jpg)

Confirmed.  "Samorost3 is a huge undertaking.., 2015 ?"

I'm not joking. :) Amanita Design  wrote about the year 2015 a long time ago in the comments on FaceBook

That....is a long time to wait :(

Dear Amanita and Forum,

My name is modbom. I write electronica music:http://abysmal.bandcamp.com/ (http://abysmal.bandcamp.com/)... But that's besides the point. I just want to say, WHY THE HECK isn't another game out yet????? I think it was like a year between machinarium and botanicula??? (Maybe I'm wrong??) anyway, I LOVE AMANITA and I haven't been disappointed by a game by them yet. Keep kicking ass!!

-Your biggest fan.. Maybe not the biggest, but I'm big!!!

<3 modbom ::)

Between releases Machinarium and Botanicula was almost 3 years. ;)
Machinarium - 16.10.2009
Botanicula - 19.04.2012
Samorost3 - early 2015

yes... i failed. i'm an ass. but i truly love these games. you can deem me the douchiest OP of 2013 if you'd like... :D ...ps. i think my point came across right? -- impatient and excited! --

Wow...
Just now I realized how old samorost is...
But I love the game!!
Can't wait for Samorost3!!
But I hope machinarium 2 comes out sooner than Samorost 3...

Cant wait for Samorost 3 next year!!!

PS how much will it be?

I think that nobody knows how much it'll be, for now..

I think Machinarium was $20 when it came out, so that might be a good guess if we're assuming S3 will also be a big (for Amanita) game.

I´ve got a question: is there a release date now? when does the game come out? :-\

~2015  ;)

But did JD say anything about when in 2015 ???

No specific date has been given as yet.  But a new teaser trailer has been added to the official Samorost3 (http://samorost3.net/) page!   ~woot!~

Edit: I just noticed that at the bottom of the Samorost3 page you can sign up for a Samorost3 mailinglist and get updates that way.  Finally!  ~Yay~   :D

Edit2:  "the game is coming out on PC and Mac later this year and after that also on iOS, Android an maybe other platforms." Amanita Design Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/Amanita.Design/posts/10152978644564118)~and~Amanita Design Google+ (https://plus.google.com/+amanitadesign/posts)

Awesome trailer! And what a surprise that I'm loving the song in the background so much that I keep replaying the trailer over and over just to hear it again. :)

Still no confirmation of it coming to Linux? :(

It must be maybe in 2016 or later, but I think it must come to Linux soon.

They can´t let Linux users wait :)

Yes indeed and it works!  Today I received my first update: Subject: Samorost3 Pre-remixes EP (http://store.floex.cz/album/samorost3-pre-remixes-ep-free-dwnld)

If you signed up for updates and don't see the "Samorost3 Pre-remixes EP" email in your inbox check your spam folder for sender "Amanita Design" <info snaily amanita-design.net>" and mark that email address as non-spam.  

And, of course, if you want to get future updates head over to the Samorost3 webpage (http://www.samorost3.net) and sign up!  ;)

Dan from Minority Records had just mentioned July, 16 in his letter.
Whether it was about Floex's new CD or the game itself - I'm happy

(https://pp.vk.me/c629527/v629527024/5aec/uUCENXCVWmk.jpg)

In the description of the album there is such a line. Most likely 16 july just will be released CD/Vinyl of Pre-Remixes

The current info on Floex's site (http://store.floex.cz/album/samorost3-pre-remixes-ep-free-dwnld) clarifies that the "July 16th" date was a typo and the author meant to enter JUNE 16h there.  Dan (from Minority Records) obviously just copy/pasted what was originally there on Floex's site into his newsletter.    so no CDs or Vinyls yet...  :-\

A week ago, It's I wrote to Tomas Dvorak about 16 July. He said that this is just a mistake, said thank you and fix it.  :(

Hi all,

ok, I dont normally ask questions like this, because I know it wont make the game come out any faster....

But does anybody know when the release date it will be?

The official website keeps saying: "later this year", but the year is almost over and I was hoping to purchase the game as a xmas gift.

Unfortunately, no.

In case you haven't read, the official website states:

"Coming out in the first quarter of 2016"

I'm a bit angry too  :-\

For those that have not signed up for updates at the bottom of (http://samorost3.net/) the Samorost3 website...
This was sent out on December 24th, 2015:

"Hi,

we'd like to wish you Happy Holidays and a great 2016!

We'd like to also inform you about Samorost 3 development. We are working really hard and the game is almost finished, but we need a little bit more time to fix all the remaining bugs and polish everything. The game should be released in the first quarter of 2016 and we hope, you'll like it as we do!

All the best,
Jakub Dvorsky"

I can smell some new images of Samorost 3 here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y1F6IUptHo&feature=youtube_gdata_player

there are plans for PS4 ?

Don't know about Samorost 3, but from an article titled "Machinarium might be coming to PS4 (https://www.vg247.com/2016/02/29/machinarium-might-be-coming-to-ps4/)" it says:

"An age rating handed down by PEGI hints at an impending release for the classic point-and-click adventure [Machinarium] on the PlayStation 4....
The PEGI rating lists the release date for a PS4 version (http://www.pegi.info/en/index/global_id/505/?searchString=machinarium&agecategories=&genre=&organisations=&platforms=&countries=&submit=Search#searchresults) of Machinarium as February 29, 2016 (the current date in most parts of Europe)."

So keep an eye on that PEGI rating page and if you see Samorost 3 show up there some day then you'll know it's probably coming to PS4.

hmmm...
i found that in the trailer:

Well, based on this recent tweet (https://mobile.twitter.com/Amanita_Design/status/793762150116364288?p=v) from Amanita Design the PS4 version of Samorost3 is NOT going to happen.
