South African developers, Team Lazerbeam have finally revealed that their deck building roguelike – Shroom and Gloom will be ublished by acclaimed indie publisher – Devolver Digital.

Revealing the news on social media, the Cape Town studio said,

“After the initial explosion of interest in the Shroom and Gloom prototype we took every meeting request that came our way. We met with some very rad people that wanted to work with us on this project. But wrapping up this epic phase of publisher meetings, there was a single clear winner. A game band like Team Lazerbeam needs a publisher that feels like an indie rock record label. It had to be Devolver!

We’re overjoyed to be working with a publisher that just gets us, and gives us the freedom to craft the most creative, adventurous game that we can. Beyond the game, we’re also delighted to have full creative control over how SnG will be presented (case in point, we produced the key art and both Shroom and Gloom trailers in-house). We’re stoked as heck to be label-mates with some of our all time favourite indies (looking at you Inscryption, Cult Of The Lamb and Sludge Life!). Bonus points for Devolver bringing out all the magic from our Cape Town besties, Free Lives.

The significance of this partnership should be clear to anyone who’s been following Team Lazerbeam on our journey to explore games as the Shape Of Punk To Come. After our totally DIY era, Team Lazerbeam partnering with a titan like Devolver is a huge milestone. We can’t imagine a publisher better suited to help us achieve our wildly ambitious goals for Shroom and Gloom.”

Formed in late 2014, when friends Jason Sutherland, Richard Pieterse and Ben Rausch joined forces to make a game for Ludlum Dare 31, Team Lazerbeam philosophy is on making short, cute, surreal, personal experiences about junk food and feelings.

The Shroom and Gloom demo is available to download and play now on Steam.
