Carl Williams writes, "Since the last time we talked about Elysian Shadows some things have changed. For one, a new lighting engine was just shown off by the developers and it looks like it will be a very nice addition to the game."
With Towards The Pantheon’s release date of May 16th nearing, lead developer Connor O.R.T. Linning has written an open letter offering a free Steam key and a free Bandcamp soundtrack key to all Elysian Shadows backers.
Joanna Mueller writes: "Elysian Shadows raised $185,322 with the help of 2,282 Kickstarter backers in 2014. This 2D pixel art/3D environment fusion RPG featured dynamic lighting, shadows, physics, and positional audio. Basically, it was a really ambitious project being created by a relatively small development team. As such, there was some team drama that threatened the future of the game late last year."
Dylan Cunningham writes: "This comes after a nine-month silence without updates. A post from last December went into some intimate details regarding a team member suddenly leaving and taking everything with him. That was the cause of major delays, says the team."
