It will be possible to play with keyboard (and Noel does), but it's not really the intended or ideal way to play. Unlike Celeste, it's not a minimal input game. Movement is important, but not the core of the game. There won't be a lot of "hyperdashing around" like in Celeste, because the moveset is very different. What is the moveset like in Earthblade?Ī. Breath of the Wild and Dark Souls were the biggest influences. The game "cannibalized a lot of previous work" that half the team did on a previous game called Skytorn, which was canceled. Which games were the biggest influences on Earthblade's map and world design?Ī.
Chevy (tool design) and Kevin (audio) showed up close to the end with their dogs. Maddy (designer / writer), Heidy (personnel manager and social media), Lena (composer), Noel (programmer), Pedro (pixel art, art direction), Amora (character design, illustration).
Please keep in mind that these are mostly my own words, so if I've misrepresented something the Earthblade team said, that's entirely on me.Ī. You can watch the VOD here: Supposedly it will be uploaded to YouTube later as well.įor anyone who'd like a summary they can read in 5 minutes or so, or has trouble using auto-generated captions on the video, I've put together a quick summary of what we've learned. (Extremely OK didn't get its winged statue after the show ended, but a fan unknowingly purchased it from eBay and sent it to the developer just earlier this year.) It will take some time before you can play Earthblade and go on an adventure with Névoa, though: The game won't be available until 2024.The folks at EXOK had a live Q/A on Twitch earlier today. At The Game Awards in 2018, it won best independent release of the year.
We wouldn't be surprised if you have high expectations for Earthblade, seeing as Celeste had won several awards after it was launched. Extremely OK also says you'll be piecing together Earth's fractured history as you play. The trailer shows you some of the obstacles you'll have to face and the foes you'll have to defeat while exploring the remnants of a ruined world. In Earthblade, you'll play Névoa, which the developer describes as an "enigmatic child of Fate" (with horns) who's returning to Earth. It's called Earthblade, and just like Celeste, it's a 2D exploration-action game set in a pixel world. Extremely OK Games, the developer behind the award-winning platformer Celeste, has revealed its new project at this year's Game Awards.
