Carl Williams writes, "We have covered Elysian Shadows previously and plan on doing so more as things develop. The biggest development recently is the news that the development kit, ESTk, being used to create Elysian Shadows by Falco and the gang will be made publicly available. This is just one more reason to support Elysian Shadows on their Kickstarter venture. Video announcement below."
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."
