“There’s no worse feeling than having to walk back your release date and delay your game so today’s announcement is really exciting!” said Nick Verge of popagenda. “We mainly wanted to ensure that our friends' games Animal Well, Crow Country, and Cryptmaster have as much space to shine as possible. More seriously, we hope people resonate with Surmount as much as we do!”

About Japer & Jonas
Surmount is a collaboration between Jasper Oprel (he/him) and Indiana-Jonas (he/they). Jasper codes all the bits and bobs in the game and Jonas drew and modelled everything that you can see in the game. The game has been developed completely remotely from the Netherlands and France. J&J met in an online session of Animal Crossing during the pandemic. Shortly after that they started working on a prototype that grew to become Surmount. They pitched it around and became the first game to receive funding from the dutch MidgameFund. Ryan Yoshikami supplies the music and the audio design is done by Rumsklang.
