Still, it feels like we’ve just scratched the surface of what it means to make great games! We’ve learned a lot during the development of the two titles. Since the release of our debut title Nova Nukers! last year, we’ve set sail for a new gaming experience and are working on Stranded Sails: Explorers of the Cursed Islands. Our goal is to create fresh and juicy games that are colorful and combine intelligible game mechanics with new ideas. After completing our game design studies four years ago, we decided to set up our own little studio. We are Lemonbomb Entertainment, a young dev team of five based in Düsseldorf, Germany. Thank you for this opportunity to tell you all more about the game and its background! Roman Matuszczak: I am Roman Matuszczak, Creative Director for Stranded Sails: Explorers of the Cursed Islands. Who are you? What are your backgrounds in game development? Tell us a bit about your development team. The discussion touched upon the game’s Zelda influences, the rise of European game studios, and a fondness for a certain SNES RPG that North America never received. To learn more about Stranded Sails, we talked to developer Lemonbomb Entertainment.
To survive, ensure the well-being of the remaining crew, and eventually escape, players will have to carefully balance swashbuckling exploration with farming, cooking, and the construction and management of an improvised shanty town.
The hero of Stranded Sails is an aspiring seaman whose most ambitious journey to date goes south, leaving him and his crew shipwrecked in a haunted archipelago. That’s where Lemonbomb’s Stranded Sails: Explorers of the Cursed Islands comes in. In between the timber-shivering and sea-shantying, even the hardiest sea dog needs a warm bed and a bite to eat. (There are a few outliers like The Secret of Monkey Island and Zack & Wiki, which focus instead on the distinctly unpirate-like activity of solving inventory puzzles.) Life on the rolling main isn’t all cannonballs and peg legs, though. Nautical-themed games have historically focused on piracy and high-seas adventures, with titles like Assassin’s Creed IV and Sea of Thieves handing players a cutlass and a flintlock pistol and kicking them out to sea as quickly as possible.
