Carl Williams writes, "We have just learned that Elysian Shadows has reached their funding goal on Kickstarter- $150,000. The team are working hard day and night to make ES the best game they can, this will not change due to funding coming. It will make their work that much harder depending on what stretch goals are attained between now and the 31st of August when the campaign ends."
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."
