Hello world!,<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s certainly been a long time since we\u2019ve put out any sort of update, but fear not! As of today, we will be doing a small weekly blog on here (Epoch Games website) just to share what we\u2019ve all been up to. These will be a bit different from our updates on IndieDb, as these will (obviously) be more frequent, and also not particularly themed in terms of their contents. They could include anything: from in-game screenshots, to 3D models and animations, to concept art, to game mechanics, to our own little musings on development … literally anything<\/em>!<\/span><\/p>\n

First off, a quick run-down of the current Epoch Games team.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, with the entire team being volunteer only at this stage, the active members shift around a fair bit, but we tend to get a reasonably constant rate of progress. We\u2019ll be talking more about the team and its dynamics over the coming weeks and months.<\/span><\/p>\n

You probably want to see some content now I\u2019m sure, you\u2019ve been derived of any for awhile (sorry!). For a bit of visual interest, here are some WIP (work in progress) pieces we\u2019ve been working on:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"rockssssss2\"<\/a><\/span>
\n -3-Dimensional Rocks, what more could you want?<\/span>
\n (Textures are optional DLC)<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Western_Overlook\"<\/a><\/span>
\n -Ruins in the lands of Thenodar<\/span><\/p>\n

\"FacialHairtest\"<\/a><\/span>
\n -Early face testing<\/span>
\n Don\u2019t tell him that his facial hair is all shifted an inch to the right.<\/span><\/p>\n

Its just a short post today as we\u2019re all currently glued to the E3 coverage, more to come next week.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you enjoy seeing the progress of the game and the team behind it, we recommend you keep an eye on the Epoch Games homepage, as we will be uploading these Dev Blogs every Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n
