Thank you SO MUCH for streaming our demo today, Josh! Just caught the VOD and we were touched by your enthusiasm for Samantha's performance as Mirren! We're beyond excited to be working with them, and can't wait to record more Mirren as the game continues development! :)

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.

Ha! Yep, that was us! Wintersdawn was a fun little experiment to learn Unity and Adventure Creator. We really couldn't have done any of the complicated stuff we're doing in WWD without doing Wintersdawn first!

Beyond the Western Deep @westerndeep.bsky.social · 20d

Thank you so much for giving it a play on stream!! We’re so glad you enjoyed it :)

Oho! Well, we'll defer to Nolan on that :)

Beyond the Western Deep @westerndeep.bsky.social · 21d

Wooo!! Thank you so much, Tanya! :) We are equally if not MORE excited to see the stream tomorrow!

Beyond the Western Deep @westerndeep.bsky.social · 21d

We are incredibly lucky to have the incomparable @nolanmarkey.bsky.social as our composer for War of the Western Deep (and really all Western Deep-related projects)! We're so excited to share more of his music for the game <3
