The Longest Road on Earth news & patch notes

Last week one of the games in our Raw Fury family just won the A.MAZE 2022 Festival award for worldbuilding and immersive storytelling - that game is NORCO! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32967998/abc9170755d0cf6ec50bd3838c64e3483365ac03.gif We thought you'd want to know since NORCO and The Longest Road on Earth have a lot in common - they both feature a driving and moody soundtrack with deep narrative you can sink into and one that sinks into you and stays with you for a long time. Check out what people are saying about NORCO here 👇 Thanks for your support during The Longest Road on Earth and we hope you'll enjoy NORCO! - Raw Fury Team

Brainwash Gang recounts the development of The Longest Road on Earth and how to rail against growing up <3

A great soundtrack is more than just an accompaniment: it can stand alone as it's own piece of art. This much is especially true for The Longest Road on Earth's soundtrack, by the talented Beícoli. The Longest Road on Earth is said to have been developed around it's soundtrack, with not a single track being an afterthought. Beícoli created something haunting and resonant, a soundtrack that is honest and raw. This is why we hope you'll consider nominating The Longest Road on Earth for the Best Soundtrack award for the upcoming Steam Awards. Here are a few words from Beícoli herself: I made the music of TLROE by myself in my room for many months with crappy equipment and it was a difficult exercise since there are very personal things of my life in those songs. If you liked it I would be honored if you could vote for it Thank you for your time!

We know you've been waiting for a long time (♫ a long time now ♫) for the launch of The Longest Road on Earth. The wait is over! Our game is now live on Steam, iOS, and Android! We can't thank our supporters enough, from the early days of Kickstarter to everyone that has been adding it to their Steam wishlist over the last few months to everyone who buys it today and onward! It's not been easy to develop a game about the connections that people share in a time that we're all so isolated, but we hope that spending time in the lives of our everyday characters will help you heal - it's certainly done that for us.

Chapter 4 of The Longest Road on Earth features why has quickly turned into most people’s favorite character — a young moose. He’s precocious and full of energy! He reminds everyone of what it’s like to be a kid and the magical world you can create in your mind. https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/39246165/628a9b699bd43cd25f2549992a69a40b50e541ce.gif Some moose facts:

• Moose can run up to 35 miles per hour… we’re pretty sure our little moose can double that if we give him a handful of candy.
• Female moose only have one or two babies (calves) in their lives. It would explain why our little guy seems to be an only child!
• Male moose are the only ones who grow those giant antlers they’re known for… our little guy has a long way to go to a full set!
• Moose are adorable as if that weren’t apparent already ;)

Today I wanted to dive into the song we used to announce our launch date, very aptly named “The Longest Road on Earth”. It’s like when a music album is named after one of the songs! THE LONGEST ROAD ON EARTH I don't know where to start There's a lot of things I'd like to talk to you about Time's still flying by It's a race where no one wins At the finish line I have written many songs Some will stay with me forever and others will just go A new fear now lives with me Wrinkles around eyes I love means One day, they won't be here Won't be here I still don't know who I am Or who I wanna be when I get older Even tho I'm older now I don't know what I'm here for But I found out no one knows Everyone just goes with the flow Uhhhhhhhhhhh I'm still learning how to love I thought I got it all figured out but turns out I was wrong And my sister had a beautiful son Everyday I think about the one that was mine but then Never was Never was I still don't know who I am Or who I want to be when I get older Even though I'm older now I don't know what I'm here for But I found out no one knows Everyone just goes with the flow Uhhhhhhhhhhh I don't know where to start There's a lot of things that I can talk to you about I'm still scared of the dark I'm really bad at making calls without my family I'm lost and I often doubt my words cause I still don't know who I am I thought it would be nice to write a song as if I was talking to an old friend or my past self and that is how this song began. The lyrics talk about things that have impacted my life in some way. To tighten that up the chorus encompasses how I’ve felt the past years navigating how to be an adult and discovering what that means to me, as opposed to the preconceived ideas I had about it. My favorite part is where I talk about my nephew. I asked my sister to send me an audio of him saying: Hola titi! That’s how he calls me and I just love to have his little voice be part of this. Then it was Edu’s idea to have the rest of the team singing with me to finish the song, which is very special because making all this music by myself can get a bit lonely. I loved sharing this experience with the rest of the team and I hope this song can mean something to you, so you will be part of it as well. - Beicoli Brainwash Gang

Hello, Roadies (we thought this was a cute nickname for you all as you're an integral part of our game-dev-band)! Last week we jumped on a stream with our publishers at Raw Fury to unveil a brand-new song, "The Train that Goes Nowhere!" (or as Moha calls it "Train to Nowhere" :wink: You'll need to watch the video below and have a good laugh). As Bea explains, the song is about the monotony of traveling to and from a dead-end job every day. We're sure a lot of people can relate to that and are eternally grateful that we get to work on games thanks to your support <3 Please be sure to tell your friends to wishlist The Longest Road on Earth, it'll help us get seen and spread the word! Until next time, Brainwash Gang TLR Games

Bea was super nervous recording this, so please tell her nice things on Twitter or in the forums! <3 We’d love if we could get her to do more videos like this to show off how proud we are of the soundtrack. We’re still on track for our Spring launch, so keep an eye out as there is a lot more coming over the next few months! What do you think? Want more videos like this? Let us know! @RoadOnEarth - Brainwash gang - TLR Games

The Steam Festival has been live for a day now, which means that this is the first time that this is the first time during the development of The Longest Road on Earth that strangers can test out our little game. It’s been so great — but honestly, it’s also been terrifying! We ended up making a song about it, which started as a joke but now... here we are. Enjoy our own personal brand of anxiety and please be sure to add TLROE to your Steam wishlist 😻

We take a look at The Longest Road on Earth, a somber, emotive interactive visual and auditory experience based upon intimate human connection and the journey we all must take.
