The image you see is the backside of a postcard we made for Day of the Devs in 2023 (?). Here's the front image:

Backside of a promotional postcard. It shows the crew of player characters of Saltsea Chronicles in a group image with the Logo of the game and the company Die Gute Fabrik. + a text that reads: Saltsea Chronicles invites you to explore a flooded world of strange and wonderful communities. Guide a misfit crew as they uncover a deep conspiracy and chart a journey through a story with twists and turns, difficulties and delights.

#SketchToFinish These were two key concepts of our last game #SaltseaChronicles, which were crucial to defining the art style of the game. Also, similar to Mutazione, there is little to no difference between concept art and in-game art.

I found the original artwork of Die Gute Fabrik. I know these are not sketches but I'll use them as a starting point for a series of posts #SketchToFinish.
Honestly, I had no idea what I was doing here, just tried things out.

We’re sad to share that we're halting production at Die Gute Fabrik due to the challenging funding & investment scene in games right now. We downed tools earlier this month & have been doing our best to support the team who'll be looking for work from mid-March. Full statement:
We’re sad to share with you all the news that Die Gute Fabrik is halting production. The publishing and investment scene is so tough for companies and projects of our scale right now it's made it extremely difficult for Die Gute Fabrik to secure funding for our next project without a gap in income. We halted production on the 19th Feb, and used our remaining runway to give the current team a month of paid time to catch their breaths. We will still try and seek funding to resume production, but wanted to announce this publicly in order that the team can share that they’re looking for new roles. We have also provided mentoring and career support in this period. Our leadership team (Nils & Hannah) will also be looking for new positions. Die Gute Fabrik ApS will continue to operate to service our past IPs. Production may resume again under Nils Deneken as CEO should the company find funding in future years, and if so we hope to welcome back our excellent collaborators where possible.

What an honour! Saltsea Chronicles made it to the top 10 of Paste Magazine’s star-studded top 30 games of 2023!

www.pastemagazine.com/games/best-g...
10. Saltsea Chronicles In its portrayal of a society based on mutual entanglement, Saltsea Chronicles resists the temptation to sever its beautifully drawn post-disaster world from reality and make it pure fantasy. Instead, mentions of the world before — our world, it turns out — drip through. Throughout it echoes the philosophies of anarchist and socialist thinkers, as well as existing and pre-existing collectivist societies. In
