2014 has been a great year for Amplitude (and for you thanks to the games we delivered ), and we look at the future with both excitement and confidence (well not overconfidence obviously). It is also interesting for us to look at the past and the story so far, as we are going to celebrate our fourth anniversary on January 21st. It also happens to be Romains birthday (Amplitude's Creative Director), although his actual age is a close kept secret (even more than the origin of the Endless).
Endless Space was an amazing success for a fledgling company (we were planning on selling 60.000 units in our original business plan), but it was also more than a commercial success. We had tremendous critical acclaim and even more importantly we were joined by a huge and fantastic community (that is you I am talking about ).
This first success allowed us to create two new games, Endless Legend and Dungeon of the Endless, one of them in an alcoholic quasi-slumber. After the first awards won by Endless Space (Unity Golden Cube and Community Choice awards), we are humbled by the number of awards and commendations we received for these last two games.
Anyway, this anniversary has given us the idea to celebrate an Endless Day. Rumor has it that this event could occur on a yearly basis. Be prepared for in-game events, rewards, gifts and whatnot. Also for those in Paris on the 21st, we are hosting a Beer2Gether at our offices.
Thanks again for your support and enjoy our first Endless Day
