So I've been doing a little research into where Elden: Path of the Forgotten came from. Honestly, I was kinda surprised to find out that the idea of the game seems to be much older than I expected.
You can check out the video below for full details.
Summary
So for those of you unable to watch, the summary is that when going through some old dream journals, I discovered that I'd been thinking (or at least drawing) concepts from Elden for a LOT longer than I though I had. It's kinda cool to see the subconcious at work but also a bit weird to realize that I'm even more connected to the game than I thought.
Below is the extract from the Dream Journal so you can see what I'm talking about. The Bird and the lone hero are definitely Elden and even the monsters bear an uncanny resemblence to enemies in the game.
I am going to go through some more stuff and see if I can dig anything else up.
