First DevLog :)

Hello everyone!
We are a small studio ( 3 people at the moment ) from Shanghai.

We are currently working on a game project named Eastward.

In the world of EW,  human societies are isolated and shrinking, due to some severe environmental problem.  You will be playing a ‘father’ with a following ‘daughter’ ,  and go through this post-apocalyptic world ( well that does sound familiar … ).

The game will be an action adventure. We hope it will be like a Zelda game with some JRPG style storyline.  It’s going to be released on Steam first ( of course we’d like to get it on the consoles if it’s possible )

The game use a special “retro-pixel + 3D lighting” visual style. We aim to achieve a feeling close to Japanese animation from 90s.

we are using an in-house framework based great MOAI  engine (http://www.getmoai.com) . It’s a cross-platform C++ engine written for Lua.  We have an IDE on top of MOAI with help of Python & QT.  We will write more about the engine part in future updates.

The project is still in very early stage. We’ll try best to keep updating this devlog as often as possible.

Thank you!

  4. 你好,我在Twitter上看到你们的游戏,很惊艳,超级喜欢。我目前也在上海,是一名游戏独立开发者。希望能与你们交朋友,交流学习。

    我现在的状态是刚进入游戏开发圈不久,找不到同伴,这款游戏的前端代码、后端代码、接口设计、数据库设计、美工、策划都只有我一个人,很孤单。。

    游戏开发不易,希望能结识国内优秀的游戏伙伴,结识你们。
    希望能加我微信,也希望到你们的工作室参观~~

    最后祝Eastward大卖!

  5. Hope you guys will get invited to talk to GDC or something, the pixel art techs you made for this game is honestly amazing, I would love to learn more about them (the lighting, water render, the grass, the tiling, and general art direction is superb too). Success to you and your games 😀

  6. It feels like I’m visiting you from the future 🙂
    Congratulations on launching, and your success. The game is absolutely gorgeous.
