Way to the Woods Finds Direction With Help From Team17
Last month, Way to the Woods made a big splash when the first screens hit the internet, well for Melbourne based studio, Studio Happy Bee, the attention was worth while as Team 17 have partnered up to bring the game to players around the world.
“Way to the Woods is an absolutely beautiful, unique looking game and upon speaking with Anthony, we could not have been more impressed. He’s an incredibly mature person for his age with a very bright future ahead of him and it’s mind blowing what he’s achieved thus far. Team17 is helping nurture a number of studios around the world and I personally can’t wait to help Anthony achieve his goals. We’re extremely excited to be here to share this journey with him,” said Debbie Bestwick, CEO of Team17.
Way to the Woods is a captivating third-person adventure game where you play as a deer and her fawn, exploring a strange world filled with surreal imagery. Way to the Woods draws on inspirations from Studio Ghibli, is lovingly hand-crafted by Anthony Tan and features a beautiful soundtrack by London based musician and composer Jeremy Warmsley.
“To join a label that is responsible for helping teams such as Playtonic, Lilith, Mouldy Toof and many more is like a dream come true! I'm so excited to be working with an experienced label like Team17 and I'm confident that it’s the right positive step for Way to the Woods” added Anthony Tan, founder of Studio Happy Bee.
