Eternal Strands is coming out Jan 28th on Steam, Epic, PS5, Xbox Series X/S. Our target retail is around $40 USD.

A third person action-adventure (with some RPG splashed on there), where you get to explore a ruined nation, fight massive creatures, and manipulate kinetics and temperature in battle.

Amelia is super good at being super evil in this.

Amelia Tyler @ameliatyler.bsky.social · 2d

I’m evil in this.
Like, SUPER evil.
But not as evil as un-sorted socks.

Steam sale is winding down! Eternal Strands is still on sale until it's over at 65% off. Romance, adventure, magically launching broken landscape at massive creatures, and one (1) overly complicated sock sorting system all included!

Spectacular performance.

Japan has a wrestling camp for kids where at the end they have a show match in front of their parents to show off what they learned.

Thought you'd enjoy this.

Amen. Even if it’s wrong, starting to move in that direction will show you it’s wrong quicker than second guessing.

My other joy is going “that’s the best plan we have so far, so rather than waffling around let’s commit to this as the plan unless we find a better one along the way.”

No problem!

If you go hard on ice abilities, you can lower its temp enough to freeze its body, just like the others of its kind. It won’t go stock dead, but it means you can jump on and damage a much larger surface area.
