Just how hand-drawn is our classically animated adventure game? Well, here's a look at our development process, including every step of making a single idle animation for our Kingsguard character from the intro!

Here's a look at the turnarounds from our last update video! Pim is a member of the Scholars of the Spire, assigned to the tiny village of Ardmoor for mysterious reasons. Birch is a young tamian who wants to be a scout, and takes the protection of the village VERY seriously.

War of the Western Deep is a choose your own adventure reminiscent of Disney's Robin Hood. As Royal Courier Mirren, voiced by the great Samantha Béart, players must deliver a message of profound importance through the treacherous wilds of the Border Coast. stackup.org/post/pax-west-20…

This bit is, we think, key to the frustration a lot of folks feel now. Creators we've historically looked to for innovation feel largely settled. They don't see creators at other studios making cool stuff as their competition--their competition is players being able to sleep.
Bruce Straley@bruce_straleySep 18
Replying to @bruce_straley
Unfortunately the platforms that need to bring stability have eroded the ability to innovate. The quest for GaaS & wanting to recreate the next Overwatch, Fortnite, Roblox, etc is not a viable strategy & frankly shows these “industry leaders” don’t know their own brand.🧵

This isn't a blanket statement for ALL studios, of course--there are still folks making cool things, even individual features inside games that have otherwise had their edges sanded down. I think a lot of us want to be excited by games again. It's why we make the things we make

It's wishlistable! We're big fans of @SeithCG's incredible Ghost of a Tale world, and it's so wonderful seeing the sequel in action!
Ghost of a Tale@GhostOfATaleSep 16

I looped around to a booth I demoed at PAX 2025 but I didn't come as a content creator filming that year so I wanted to give @TheWesternDeep a chance to speak directly to my audience about their hand animated adventure game, War of the Western Deep. youtube.com/shorts/U1bjPJHMZ…

Polyarc set the bar for what an immersive VR experience could be, and we're devastated to see them shutting down. We encourage all our fans to check out Moss: The Forgotten Relic if you haven't yet--and we hope everyone at the studio lands on their feet <3
