Hubworld: Aidalon has completed our final "gold master" process and is off to the printer next week!
The new Earthborne recording studio is under construction! We're going to do a small Livestream from it tomorrow, but we've got a long way to go until it's fully operational.
Putting the new @earthbornegames.bsky.social whiteboard to good use:
It's our first week at the official Earthborne offices! (We don't have real furniture or decorations yet.)
Color grading is so hard for me. When I was color grading this video I felt like it seemed super oversaturated. Then when I actually see it relative to other YouTube thumbnails, it looks so muted.
We've been working so hard prepping tomorrow's campaign for a board game about hiking in the wilderness, this felt like the right way to take a break before the action begins!
Doing a quick reverse-image search. I'm pretty sure the AI grabbed the picture of this poor German teacher with the same name. 🤣
I know, right?! Evan did so good on the art and then I put that card in a very hard-to-find spot in the expansion campaign and our data shows it's one of the least acquired rewards! 😭
Every year on May the 4th I feel grateful for the opportunity I had to work on the Star Wars RPG along with @samgregorstewart.bsky.social @maxcbrooke.bsky.social @lindevi.bsky.social @danlovatclark.bsky.social and all the other talented folks we got to work with. Thank you all! ❤️
Oh wow, I'm super blown away by how many folks have already jumped on to see what we have coming! Trying to not let it psych me out while I am working on the prototype on my other monitor. 😅
We're prepping a prototype to record some gameplay next week! I think this is the first time I've ever involved a power drill in my prototyping process. 🎲✂️
If I could work all day as fast as I work for the 5 minutes the Attack on Titan theme comes up on shuffle, I would be the most prolific game designer of all time.
After beating 'Nana Game' (DK Bananza) Wyatt and I have moved on to 'Horsey Game' (Breath of the Wild). But, since he calls the shots, we have exclusively rode around on the horse collecting and cooking food and, honestly? Kinda a vibe.
Max Brooke, who you might know as one of the designers on X-Wing, has a new minis-game project in the works! This system is able to handle mech combat of all kinds, and is super dynamic and fun. Definitely worth keeping an eye on as he develops it!
Super hyped for the launch! Though is the orange central cylinder with white boosters flanking giving anyone else "we just forgot to connect the shuttle" vibes?
Love this art! It kinda reminds me of the living castles in a creative little solo TRRPG called Colostle.
Distant Skies is a massive upgrade from base Sleeping Gods. But I blame @patrickleder.bsky.social for flying us into the terrible frozen north.
Teaching @maxcbrooke.bsky.social Sorcery. He had me pinned with a massive bone dragon and I saved myself by awakening a living island that had lay dormant since the beginning of the game. I love this game.
Our first epic multiplayer event for Earthborne Rangers is underway! 24 players, 7 patrols, all playing on the same Valley map trying to solve a massive crisis!
"Oh I might as well throw a pack in on this purchase." This is why I shouldn't play collectible games. 😅
I got the second-to-last copy at the Source @psycorey.bsky.social!
Your new game just showed up @maxcbrooke.bsky.social!!! Given Stonesaga's setting, do you think a paleolithic archaeologist like @samscansstuff.bsky.social will get into it, or is it going to feel too much like work for her? 😂
First competitive card game I've fully bought in on in a while. Just picked up a good amount of Sorcery cards. I blame @feonix.bsky.social
It's been a hard few weeks in the Twin Cities, but we're trying to get back to playcasts and podcasts!
