The Concepts Between - Art from 4 years of development

Who likes art!? We sure do! I was recently having a look through the archives, and boy do we have some treasures to share. I don't want to bore you with words here, a picture tells a thousand of them. In The Gardens Between we let the art tell the story, and that's what I'm going to do below. Enjoy this visual story of several long years of game development. Enjoy! <3
