#eastward
Finished Eastward the other day and gotta say, Great Visuals, Great Audio and a super addictive game within a game, Earthborn, that I desperately need a standalone version of HAHA!
Defs got opinions on the 2nd half of the game but the journey makes it very much worth the play.
Drafts. :D
Had somehow lost the first one of the Eastward drawing, so I had to redraw it. Funny how the second version is ALWAYS better than the first.

As you can see, although most of the magic happens in the game engine, you still need such a big set of software to support the development, especially when you are working as a team than as an individual.
I might talk more about the engine if I have the time some day!
meeting new people…
The anniversary of G-Cores.com, in Beijing.
Preparing the booth…
The new fancy poster for the show.
The boss fighting!
The last player playing the demo while we are packing up things.
She said she like the game very much! That’s the inspiration!!
Back to development now… Hope we have more to share soon!
Just want to show you how the art style of Eastward has changed during this long long dev time.
It’s very enjoyable to see how things evolves, and to know it is worth the time.
Cheers!
Merry Chrsitmas!
Wish all of you a warm and bright holiday!
9 days to go!
