We are incredibly happy to announce that Drop Bear Bytes have entered into a partnership with Versus Evil, acclaimed indie publisher of such titles as Pillars of Eternity 1 & 2, Hand of Merlin and Eville.
We’ve been working with Versus Evil all of this year and are really stoked to partner with them. They've published some of the best RPGs of the last decade and it's great that Broken Roads is joining their lineup.
There have been a number of significant changes and improvements we’ve been tight-lipped about which we will go into more detail next week at gamescom and show off in upcoming dev blogs and videos, including:
- Major improvements to environment and character art
- Shift to fully 3D maps (from 2D tile-based scenes)
- We have revamped combat, but will touch on that in the future
- Entirely reworked skill system, moving from skill trees to integer-based skills
- Overhaul and improvement of all animations
- UI redesign coming in the next few months
- Additional artists, developers and designers are now in the project
We’re also working with Knights of Unity (the team that helped develop Disco Elysium) who have been doing a fantastic job across the board over the last six months, from Unity tools through to many of the in-game improvements mentioned above.
Please enjoy the new trailer, come say hi if you are at gamescom, and we look forward to bringing you more updates soon!
