Beyond the Western Deep

We hope everyone is having a wonderful lead-up to the holiday season! It’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving in the US is just around the corner, and Christmas is just over a month away. Well, that’s what I’d say if I were talking to other people, but any long-time reader knows that the time between Halloween and New Year’s is one of the roughest for us, as both our day jobs (and in Rachel’s case, day and/or night job) get absolutely insane this time of year.

To add insult to injury, I just got power and cell service back after over two days without thanks to a wonderful little phenomenon called a BOMB CYCLONE (love the name, NOAA!) that’s basically a mini-hurricane minus the rain. Crazy winds knocked out power for most of the eastern side of Lake Washington near Seattle, and a lot of friends out here are STILL without power.

That’s right down the street! Fun times, right? Anyway, I’m beyond relieved to have power back in time to write this post and get Rachel’s latest wonderful page up for all of you!

Updates on War of the Western Deep will be limited for the next little bit–we’re neck deep in stubbing out gameplay using temporary art assets, which helps us in the long run but also doesn’t look particularly great when it comes to sharing publicly :) We do have some fun new animations and a new enemy type in the works, so we’ll be looking forward to sharing that soon, hopefully!

See you all in two weeks!
