Lovely stuff! And don't worry - I'm likely to be a lot less communicative for the next few weeks myself, got a big conference coming up so my schedule is about to get *very* hectic.

So... Have you ever wondered how Fabel lost his legs?

A small “behind the scenes” update:
In “Tales From Windy Meadow” Iudicia, one of our protagonists, has a younger sister - Firma. You can see some similarities in their portraits, though they are not identical.
Iuidicia looks more like their mother, while Firma took after their father. Isn’t this clever?
Now here goes the funny thing: our graphic artist didn’t even notice this feature while she was designing the characters. Apparently, it just turned out this way.

I may not know that much about medieval weaponry, but I did my homework about medieval books for my fantasy realms. : P Here are a codex, a wax tablet and pieces of old parchment. : )

Watch with sound for the full experience! The first almost-finished scene from our game, with complete sounds and almost-finished graphics. We plan to have many more like it.

Looks good!
I love the music - it matches the tone really well.

Thank you! At first I was planning to base the entire soundtrack on one artist (folk guitarist), but I'm more and more convinced that some minimalist piano would be a great addition. : )

One of the first things our writer really wanted to make for Tales From Windy Meadow was the candle-making scene. The comparison of the old village building vs. its reimagination really shows the long way we now have behind us.

Thank you! We still are going to add the characters as well as their idle animations. : )

Little Oak village, 8 years before the action of our game. Loving the new colors. Ideally, we would like to add fire animation as well.

These videos could use some nice lo-fi themes.

Rain in Windy Meadow, Salvia's Hut. The recreation of a 10-months old concept art - modified and adapted for the purposes of the game.

The next step - adding the characters.
