Amanita Design is a small independent video game development studio based in the Czech Republic. It was established in 2003 when Jakub Dvorský graduated from the Academy of Arts in Prague with a free online flash game called Samorost as his thesis project. In 2005 Václav Blín joined as a studio animator and Samorost2 was created. Since then, we have found several excellent collaborators: musician Tomáš 'Floex' Dvořák, programmers David Oliva and Jan Werner, painter Adolf Lachman, sound maker Tomáš 'Pif' Dvořák and animator Jaromír Plachý. Besides computer games, the studio created also a couple of music videos, websites, animations, illustrations and production design. Jakub Dvorský, a member of this year´s Theatre Optique Jury, will present the new projects by Amanita design including games like Samorost3 and Botanicula.
Botanicula is an undemanding, funny and adventurous game created by Jára Plachý, Amanita Design studio and alternative duet called DVA who are in charge of music and sound. The game features five main characters, weird tree creatures, who are trying to protect the last seed of their home tree against wicked parasites. The game is supposed to be issued for PC, Mac, iPad and other graphic tablets at the end of this year.
Samorost3 is the continuation of popular Samorost and Samorost2, however, this time it´s a full-length game with Full HG graphic and much more elaborated game design. Currently, the game is the main project of Amanita Design studio. As its development has just begun, the date of issuing is written in the stars.
