We’ll be sharing more Eastward updates when the team is ready! Until then, please send them your love and support over on twitter, we’re sure they’ll appreciate it, and check out our latest blog with all-new screenshots!įun fact: the Ominux Games team have worked as a team remotely for over 8 years, and met in person for the first time after we brought them together for an EGX event! It was an exciting moment to bring such close friends and colleagues together finally! That being said, the two-man team is very much used to working from home and are still on track to share Starmancer with the world very soon. In the face of everything, the team has taken it in their stride, and stayed focused on their goal of making beautiful art and sharing it with the world. Though even through challenges this team has endured, they never faltered, complained or showed signs of giving up. As a no-crunch studio ourselves, we extend this ethos to our development partners meaning that we still do not have an exact date, but rest assured, as soon as we have one, we will share it with you. Sadly this had a lasting impact on development and will mean that Eastward will not be available until 2021.

That being said, we’re very lucky to have a supportive and understanding community.īut it’s not all doom n’ gloom, and is why we want to take the time to recognise the sheer amount of hard work, love and determination that our teams and developers have shown over the past several months. This moment has impacted everyone, no matter how large the project or how small the company everybody has had to overcome challenges both personally and professionally. 2020 has thrown so many curveballs and challenges… but we’ve almost made it through! Development and publishing during a global pandemic has certainly been interesting.

Hey folks, let’s talk about publishing in 2020!įirst of all, oof, what a year.
