Hi all,

Devolver has put together a mini-documentary to show the making-of Children of the Sun. It covers the kind of music that fuels the creativity behind the game, how one email can land a publishing deal, and just how chill a game launch can be when the bugs don't show up to the party.

Once again, thank you for playing Children of the Sun. It will never stop being cool that so many people are interested in weird, experimental games like this.

Hey everyone!

I spent a few years working on this and now it comes to an end. I'm nervous. I'm excited. It feels strange. This is my first game and I'm incredibly grateful for this experience. Being able to make this game with the help of such wonderful people. Personally, just making this game already feels like a huge success.

A big thank you to everyone who supported me!

While this journey is about to end for me, yours is about to start. I really hope you will enjoy this experience! I'm looking forward to see you playing it and I will read all your feedback.

Thank you so much for your time!

P.S. In case you missed it, and you want to know more, here's my recent interview[www.pastemagazine.com] with Paste Magazine where I talk about what it's like being a solo dev, and what inspired me to create Children of the Sun.

Here is a small guide[www.childrenofthesungame.com] we made *mild spoiler warning*

If you're still curious about what exactly awaits you in Children of the Sun, check out the latest What the Facts video in which Devolver's JM describes the game in great detail. Even better, go ahead and download the free demo while you watch it, and get a taste of the game yourself.

Children of the Sun will launch on April 9, and I can't wait for everyone to play it.

Hello everyone!
(Second announcement this week? Aren't we on a roll...)

We are happy to share that we are officially Steam Deck verified! After all, revenge is a dish best-served cold. On a portable device.

In case you missed it, Children of the Sun was a part of the Kinda Funy x The Mix Showcase earlier today, where you had a chance to see some new gameplay and find out how you'll plan and execute your revenge as you dismantle the Cult once and for all.

Check it out below.

Just over a month ago we have announced Children of the Sun, and the sheer ammount of feedback and people playing the demo was overwhelmingly amazing. And today with even more eagerness and joy we are happy to announce the release date of Children of the Sun.


P.S Go play the demo if you didn't already!

Few words from the developer:

"Hey everyone!

It's been a few pretty fun weeks after the first announcement of the game and the release of the demo.
There were lots of really nice words and great feedback coming from you. I appreciate everyone who gave the Demo a moment of their time. Thank you very much!

So now that release date is public, I guess I finally need to actually finish the game. Ha!
I'm excited to see this thing being out in the wild. And I'm looking forward to hear what you think about it!"


Thanks to everyone who took part in the competition, we are honestly overwhelmed by the number of participants. As a reminder, the goal was to get into the top 3 of one of the levels of the demo version during Steam Next Fest. Many bullets were fired and wasted on the way to victory.

But here are the winners. By the way, due to this joyous day our glorious Leader decided to grant blessings to 5 people instead of 3!
