Thank you! We became aware of Renowned Explorers after we had been working on The Curious Expedition for about 2 years already and stumbled into them at Gamescom.
I won't deny that it was initially a shock to see a game that superficially seemed so close to Curious Expedition, but as you said there is more than enough space for both games and playing them they are definetely quite different from each other.
Over the years we met the folks from Abbey Games a couple of times and developed a friendship. Last year we decided to poke fun at the whole situation and did a joint bundle on Steam. The bundle has ended at the moment, but the page is still online:

To this day being able to collaborate with them and turning this potentially sour situation into something fun was one of the best experiences I had as an indie developer.
- danielbarla 8y agoThat's awesome, I had no idea the situation had been so well explored! Glad both sides took it lightheartedly. I ended up with both games in my collection separately, and was pretty shocked at the plot. What are the chances of that happening randomly!? I thought there may be a common thread I missed, but this is far more hilarious.
- INTPenis 8y agoI must say, same story for me. I played your game on Steam a good while ago, maybe even a year ago? And could never have guessed at how it was made. I liked it because it doesn't try to hold your hand.
