Environment Artist Dan Fessler explaining the game to some new fans at PSX

PlayStation Experience

It used to be that the conference circuit started up in March at GDC (Game Developers Conference) and continued more or less non-stop until the final show in September at PAX Prime in Seattle. Sony took advantage of the vacuum in the schedule to put together the big finale of the year: PlayStation Experience. We weren’t able to make the 2014 show in Las Vegas, so we were really excited to participate in the 2015 event in San Francisco. Our two Dans – Fessler and Adelman (environment art and biz dev/marketing, respectively) – set up and ran the booth for the two-day event.
Before the show floor opened

Outpost Armory

We've been hard at work wrapping up the new intro area, and we're just about there! The tileset has been completed and Glauber and Dan are putting the finishing touches on the art while Jimi records some new sound effects. Say hello to the Master at Arms who forges the weapons and armor for the Guildean Outpost's soldiers, on top of training them and giving advice. Listen closely, you might learn something important from her!

New Enemy Reveal

We've also been chipping away at the huge list of enemies and bosses we have planned for the game, and I'm happy to report that we're nearing completion on them! Here's a first look at one of the enemies from the Keep - the Executioner. His spinning ax chain has quite the reach, so keep your distance from his flying guillotine and watch your timing!

Backer's Tome

In addition to all the core content of the game, we've also been knocking out some of the additional features we promised for backers of the game. For $50+ tier backers, you have now been immortalized in the ancient Backer's Tome. With it, you will be able to easily find and display your name to all your friends and family, reminding them that you helped make Chasm possible! We'll have more content to reveal next month, so stay tuned!
