Development

Baron Wittard is the premiere title of Wax Lyrical Games,[1] created by the two-person team consisting of Marlies Maalderink (in the Netherlands) and me Alan Thorn in the UK.[2] Video game writer and designer Thorn 's design philosophy was to create an "enchanting and enthralling" opportunity for players to explore the ancient ruins of a rich history.[3] Commencing in December 2010, the developers published a developer diary for their upcoming game. It was hosted on Just Adventure, while German and Dutch translations were listed at Adventure-Treff.de and Adventure-Island.nl respectively.[4] On February 18, 2011, the game was made available in retail stores in the UK, Scandinavian and Benelux territories.[5]
