Development Update_3: New Illustrations, new rule book
Hello everyone! It has been a little while since our last Epochia progress update. Even though the world feels a bit chaotic and unpredictable right now, we are still working hard and continuing to move the game forward.
At the moment, we are polishing the final details and steadily pushing Epochia toward its final stage. Since our last post, our artists have done an amazing job bringing Ramses II. to life. We studied real photos of his mummy and used them as inspiration for a reconstruction, while also adding a small touch of fantasy to imagine how Ramses II. may have looked in his prime. I am personally very happy with the result, and I would love to know what you think.
We have also been focusing on the final touches for the rules and organizing everything into the rulebook. This part is especially important to me, because I want Epochia to feel unique while still reflecting real references to the nations and the Bronze Age world. The colors we chose are inspired by the art of that time, while our artists are also adding modern elements to give the game a fresh and up to date style. Today, I want to share four pages from the book with you. They are still not final, so some changes may still happen, but I am excited to give you a closer look. Two of these pages are dedicated to symbols, their functions, and explanations, while the other two introduce the nations, their gameplay style, abilities, and special advantages, all decorated with their own themed frames, characters, and visual details.
As an independent project, I am very happy with the progress we are making as we slowly wrap things up and move the game into a more presentable stage. I am doing my best to bring you the complete project in a way that truly shows its full potential.
talk to you soon,
OJ
