Building Ember Sword is no small task. We have been at it for quite a while, faced a lot of twists, turns and changes in the years we've been developing the game. One constant in our design ethos has been community involvement, so on this episode of the cast, Loren dives deep into what creating Ember Sword with the community looks like.
Find out what our timeline is, how we are going to involve land owners in the creation process and why we chose this development model to begin with.
