    ahh, how can i forget about journey, one of the best game ive played on my ps3. yes, journey is more accurate sample than firewatch. should have put that on first post. as a long time fan of ravensword since the first one, i have some little list of request:
    1. please put a better animation on mount/dismount a horse.
    2. more realistic running/walking animation.
    3. more cool and badass sprites on magic spell :D
    4. weapons/gears visual on character when applied.
    5. more badass looking bandits/goblins or more boss fight if possible.
    6. is it too much to asked for an animated banner/flag in town if theres any? moving trees/grass, and more destructible environment such as wooden box, barrel, etc?

    thats all for now. sorry if im asking too much and being unrealistic on the request.

    Love this The Witness/Firewatch art style, I think this is a good move. Better to make a great looking game with this more simplistic art style than attempt realism but fall short due to money/device capabilities

    I think #4 and #6 were already in Shadowlands, the others are sort of arbitrary but animations can always be improved for sure...

    Woooo! 8-bit eyecancer.?!? I hope you're not dissing pixel graphics there. AS someone who's been lucky enough to work on both styles I can tell you pixel art's a lot harder than sculpting a 10 million poly behemoth in Zbrush.

    I think the new style could be excellent. Limiting the colours per object echoes pixel art in some ways, making form more important. To my eye it even has the look of a Mike Mignola style. Think his Hellboy stuff where the art is broken down to almost a minimalist style. With broad colours. Personally I like it.

    Wow, I didn't even know there was another Ravensword coming out! And I love the new art style. Not what I expected from a sequel, but very cool. Can't wait to see more progress updates! I loved the first game.

    The whole "no eyes" thing with the goblin reminds me of the Black Gate Guard in LotR

    "We're probably looking at end of the year or early next year for release, depending on how it goes."

    the game has been on hold for awhile - but we may pick it up again next year. The main artist had a full time job and he could only work on it a few hours a week, and then he just didn't have any more time to work on it. I'd have to find a new person to take over the job at this point, we'll see how it goes.
