We're recording the VO for this grumpy guy today! We think you'll love who we have doing it :)

This (still very WIP) battle is COMPLETELY OPTIONAL in our upcoming PAX West demo. Mirren can either bribe this soldier or draw her blade and fight!

We're excited to be able to share the latest page of Beyond the Western Deep this weekend!

We know a lot of folks have been curious about tamian treewalker hunts since we first mentioned them in the prologue. Well, they're pretty intense!

Today's indie game: War of the Western Deep (sunsgrove.games). Currently just a demo on Steam, but a competent old-school LucasArts style graphic adventure, with gorgeous art. For people nostalgic for those days, this is one to keep an eye on (among many other graphic adventures in IGF this year).

Fortunately for Mirren they're not currently in the plan :)

Mirren DID mention brush spiders in our initial PAX demo! They’re quite the threat on the Border Coast!

He’s going to be a lot of fun! All of them are, in their own wayβ€”it’s a small cast (and only a handful are represented here), but that makes each one stand out that much more! :)

New enemies are starting to materialize throughout the forests of the Border Coast!

This crafty fellow has impeccable aim--and Mirren can't simply dodge his daggers. She'll need to find another way to knock them out of the air...

PAX West 2025: Developer Q&A - War of the Western Deep hopes to reanimate the Don Bluth-esque dichotomy of light and dark "This is a style of animation that thrives on the human craft. It is something that is born from pure human sweat, and grit, and talent, and work. You can't fake it. You can't cut corners with it."

Sunsgrove founder @tdcpresents.bsky.social had a chance to chat with the fine folks at @videogamesaregood.bsky.social about why we're making War of the Western Deep and the importance of balancing the light and the dark in all-ages stories. Check it out here!

Mirren visits the tiny village of Ardmoor many times throughout her journey, and her growing relationships with the townsfolk (like Finn the Innkeeper here) are a big part of the game!

This canid soldier looks a bit peeved, huh? These guys show up occasionally to guard forest paths, so he probably won't take kindly to nosy royal couriers trying to sneak past him...
