I just returned from GameCityNights event in Nottingham (UK) where I was announcing 3 upcoming projects.
The first and almost finished one is Osada, it’s an interactive music video created by our animator Václav Blín and music composer Šimon Ornest. This weird experience made in Flash will be available for free on our website very soon.
The second project is point-and-click adventure game Botanicula about five tree creatures on a quest to save their home’s last seed from a pack of evil parasites. The game is being developed by our second animator Jára Plachý and it will feature music and sounds from Czech band Dva. It’s currently halfway through development, with release planned for the end of the year or early in 2012.
And the third game is Samorost3 on which we just started to work as our studio main project. After Machinarium, this should be our second full-length game. More info about the development will be presented on this blog in upcoming months so stay tuned:)

April 1, 2011Although I had prayed for a Machinarium 2, this is great news!
I’m positive that Samorost 3, on the scale of Machinarium, will be an amazing game as well. Now I’ll just hope that the next major production of yours, after Sam3, will indeed be Mach2.
Keep up the great work, Amanita Design! :)

April 13, 2011I realy love youre work. Machinarium was the first game, I could play together with my girlfriend. She loved it too. I hope you have an open ear for the suggestions of your fanclub. So please, a little bit less logic-riddles and more combination an communication. I’m looking forward for the new games!

April 17, 2011I’ve been following Amanita since Samorost 2, and since then, you’ve continuously delivered brilliantly clever and mystical projects through out the years! Amanita seems to be doing better than ever before, and I am so very happy to see that.
Me and many of my friends are really looking forward to what is coming. Especially Samorost 3 (of course).
The best of luck to you all!
With kindest regards,

May 10, 2011Thank you so much for Machinarium and Samarost 1 & 2. I treasure them. My partner loves Machinarium too– she’s not always a PNC fan, but you won her over. And my young niece and nephew and I play Questionaut together. We’re a family who love your work.
You guys have gentle, tender worldview and a kooky sense of humour that translates to sheer awesomeness. Thank you for sharing your vision with us, and the complex shimmering worlds you create to mirror our own.
I look foward with joy to your projects in the years ahead. Warm wishes!
40. Ben Logan

August 8, 2011Guys!
I really enjoyed Machinarium!
Why not make something similar?
Machinarium 2, or some other well themed (e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunno) puzzle quest?
It’ll be great! With your talent to create vision and sound – I’m thrilled!
Good luck in whatever you do!
