Beyond the Western Deep

After receiving an outpouring of requests for the once-exclusive Black Company hero skins, the amazing folks at @leagueofgeeks.com surprised me today: we can bring them back!

Every pledge at the Digital Collector's Edition or higher now gets the skins INCLUDED! www.kickstarter.com/projects/lea...

Love to see War of the Western Deep’s technical wizard @elecorn.bsky.social launch his amazing new typing-Kung Fu-dinosaur racing simulator on Steam and have it getting such amazing press!

The Kickstarter for Armello: The Founding and the Fall is now over 250% funded with eight days left on the clock.

The 150+ page Bandit Clan story that's included in the omnibus features this amazing new Bandit Clan art from @sintoj.bsky.social!

www.kickstarter.com/projects/lea...

We're over 225% funded and are SUPER CLOSE on hitting the $60K stretch goal that gives every backer a free set of cover art prints!

We still have about 80 Dice & Coin Bag Bundles left, so if you missed them before, now's your chance!

www.kickstarter.com/projects/lea...

By popular demand, we added a brand new digital rewards tier to the Armello: The Founding and the Fall Kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/lea...

You get the physical book/stickers/bookmark, AND digital versions of the Art Book, OST, and even a Steam code for a set of rare GEEK DICE in-game!

New enemies are starting to materialize throughout the forests of the Border Coast!

This crafty fellow has impeccable aim--and Mirren can't simply dodge his daggers. She'll need to find another way to knock them out of the air...

The Armello #Kickstarter I'm running with @leagueofgeeks.com just smashed its first stretch goal! EVERY BACKER is getting an upgraded book with gorgeous endsheets and a ribbon bookmark.

And our next stretch goal? A full set of COVER ART PRINTS for every backer! www.kickstarter.com/projects/lea...

We're so close to locking in our first big #Kickstarter stretch goal!

Less than $900 to go before every copy of The Founding and the Fall gets upgraded to include these gorgeous printed endsheets and a ribbon bookmark!

It's been about 3 hours and we're now... 98% FUNDED!

PAX West 2025: Developer Q&A - War of the Western Deep hopes to reanimate the Don Bluth-esque dichotomy of light and dark "This is a style of animation that thrives on the human craft. It is something that is born from pure human sweat, and grit, and talent, and work. You can't fake it. You can't cut corners with it."

Sunsgrove founder @tdcpresents.bsky.social had a chance to chat with the fine folks at @videogamesaregood.bsky.social about why we're making War of the Western Deep and the importance of balancing the light and the dark in all-ages stories. Check it out here!

Western Deep co-creator Alex Kain and the amazing crew at @leagueofgeeks.com are putting together a wonderful book of fantasy tales! Definitely check out the campaign when it launches next week!

That last animation we posted was a bit blurry so here's the game-quality version!

Mirren visits the tiny village of Ardmoor many times throughout her journey, and her growing relationships with the townsfolk (like Finn the Innkeeper here) are a big part of the game!

Why thank you :) We'll have more to share of this fella soon!

This canid soldier looks a bit peeved, huh? These guys show up occasionally to guard forest paths, so he probably won't take kindly to nosy royal couriers trying to sneak past him...

HUGE congratulations to the Absolum team on their release, which features a really fun performance from Samantha as the speedy, grapple-arm wielding Cider!

Our War of the Western Deep demo bugfix patch is live on Steam! It's a small one, but we hope it helps to improve everyone's experience!

We're absolutely over the moon with the response to our newly released demo for War of the Western Deep!

Thank you all for the amazing feedback, the livestreams, the videos, the comments--we're so excited to see the game resonating with folks.

A bugfix demo update will be going out soon, too!

It's WILD to have been watching @yakwaxlips.bsky.social feature so many incredible adventure games over the years and then see War of the Western Deep alongside them!

We're so, so excited by the present and future of indie adventure games <3

It cannot be overstated just how incredible a partner @cervidian.bsky.social has been in the development of War of the Western Deep.

His trust in Sunsgrove Studios and passion for our game has enabled us to make incredible strides we wouldn't have been able to make without a publisher.
