Remember Elysian Shadows, the Next Generation RPG for the Sega Dreamcast? Well the developers just got a publishing deal with WaterMelon Co. to release physical copies of Elysian Shadows for the Dreamcast. Along with the reveal of the publisher came something we haven’t really seen in the indie games scene: box art.
I bet you haven’t seen box art concepts for a Dreamcast game in a while.
With Towards The Pantheon’s release date of May 16th nearing, lead developer Connor O.R.T. Linning has written an open letter offering a free Steam key and a free Bandcamp soundtrack key to all Elysian Shadows backers.
Joanna Mueller writes: "Elysian Shadows raised $185,322 with the help of 2,282 Kickstarter backers in 2014. This 2D pixel art/3D environment fusion RPG featured dynamic lighting, shadows, physics, and positional audio. Basically, it was a really ambitious project being created by a relatively small development team. As such, there was some team drama that threatened the future of the game late last year."
Dylan Cunningham writes: "This comes after a nine-month silence without updates. A post from last December went into some intimate details regarding a team member suddenly leaving and taking everything with him. That was the cause of major delays, says the team."
