History[]
A Short Hike began as a personal art project in December 2018. Game developer Adam Robinson-Yu was feeling worn out from working on his RPG project and took a break to design some natural landscapes. Inspired by summer hiking trips and exploring forests in his youth, he wanted to create something that could evoke those same feelings of peace and discovery. The project soon blossomed into a full-fledged title. Mark Sparling joined the project to compose music for the game. A Short Hike was selected by the folks at Humble Bundle and first released as the Humble Original for the month of April 2019. Since the Humble release, Adam has been working on a content update for the full release in July. A Short Hike hopes to provide players with a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of life in its scenic mountainsides.
