A
Steam
Listing is now live for
Eternal Strands, offering
the promised reveal of
what's going on behind the curtain at Yellow Brick Games, the studio co-founded
Mike Laidlaw, former Dragon Age creative director. There's an interesting note
in the listing about the use of AI for internal development with reassurances
that this was all later replaced by live performances. Here's that
Game Teaser from last week and there's a gameplay trailer and more on what
to expect
on IGN First. Here's word from the
Eternal Strands Website: "At
the heart of Eternal Strands beats a revolutionary new system for gameplay
interactions: heat spreads, cold chills, and real-time destruction allows for
unprecedented reactivity in combat. Hurl burning tree trunks at enemies with
telekinetic, snap nearby trees to block opposing fire, or channel raw
telekinetic force to rip boulders from the ground." Here's the description of
the game:
Play as Brynn, a young but fearless Weaver, determined to
recover her people’s cultural home in the debut fantasy action-adventure title
from Yellow Brick Games, a new independent studio founded by industry veterans.
Armed with powerful magical abilities and an arsenal of magical weapons, face
enemies that range from humanoid constructs to towering beasts. Use the
environment and temperature to your advantage in battles against a diverse
roster of fantastical creatures, like turning a dragon’s fiery breath against
ice-covered minions. Climb every surface and use arcane skills to create new
paths. Explore the world in pursuit of the Enclave’s lost mysteries and
challenge giant titans on your
journey.
