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."

It cannot be overstated just how incredible a partner @cervidian.bsky.social has been in the development of War of the Western Deep.
His trust in Sunsgrove Studios and passion for our game has enabled us to make incredible strides we wouldn't have been able to make without a publisher.
