TwoDashStash had the opportunity to sit down with Falco Girgis, the lead programmer, and Tyler Rogers, the lead gameplay engineer, from Elysian Shadows to talk about the future of the game, the Sega Dreamcast, and their Kickstarter success. During the interview Falco and Tyler gave us an exclusive first look into the game’s story and one of its characters; the Ancient.
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."
