Team Epimetheus

Have you been following along like an addicted blog follower; impatiently tapping your foot between the monthly posts? Did you keep up with the happenings that have been taking place as we forge our way forward? Are you up to date on the current tasks we are tackling or have leveled our gazes at? Well, if you said yes to any of those questions then you might arch an eyebrow at this months post. Goodness, cartography is a tedious, slow-going process. Quite frankly my dear I have little to no desire to push forward on those tasks at the moment. In fact, it is going to require a heavenly decree from nothing short of an archangel to bring me back to those grueling life-sucking efforts. I would rather scratch my nails down a chalkboard or revert back to dial-up then spend one more minute creating a map. I jest not, it truly is that monotonous. Axes So to keep the progress moving forward I decided to try my hand at weaponsmithing. With several pumps of the bellows, the coals have be...

Artist: Nathan W Winter is fading. Yes, I said it. You see the days are getting longer and the chill doesn't seem to bite so hard anymore. Small birds have flown into town and there is a smell to springtime. Promise. Loving spring reminds me that we are fast approaching a Toyota's favorite time of year: MUD SEASON!!!! Lol! Spring is a time of change, growth and new life. The World of Epimetheus will be delivering that to you this spring as well. In fact, there have been a few requests to share what we have lined up right now and by golly, it would make a perfect thingy to talk about on this here blog. Yessah! Artist: Timothy W. There is a considerable amount of work behind putting these blogs together believe it or not. I am a veteran blogger. Structuring something like this can be complicated and complicated is not easy to describe. In fact, I would say that it is complicated trying to describe anything complicated, but now I am just ove...

I am having fun making small art assets for metal and dust. Once I created a template, banging out a handful of pics in a relatively short time was a snap. I have more on the way but the Product Manager is anxious to see the completion of the race pics. So I will be focused on those for the next couple of weeks. Then there is the matter of a little dirt. And this is the kind of dirt that will have people bursting at the seems with gossip. Okay, maybe it won't, but this is a site where imaginations take life so...<meek voice> maybe. Whether or not that is the case these images are some simple art assets that can be reproduced with basic art apps. Anyways, I am referring to the rocks and dust below. Take a peek, post a comment, spread the word or just let your imagination take flight. This sort of contribution is very simple and can be fun. Ya know, for those industrious sorts, not the spectators, but the actuators! With an object inventory of over 2000 items and each nee...

Furry Little Friend You know I have literally been brainstorming on this game for over 25 years. True story yo. So as you can imagine there are all kinds of nifty little ideas that I have accumulated to make the World of Epimetheus not only the first of its kind but also interesting, surprising, and humorous. Everybody loves finding easter eggs in a game right? So much so that they have become a relatively common element in today's games. Well in Epimetheus there is a flying pink bunny (which is supposed to be adorable by the way) that has a mischievous demeanor who also happens to have a little horn on its forehead. A flying pink unicorn bunny that loves to play pranks....ok check. The easter egg part will include not only finding her but also catching the little miscreant. Seriously this little critter is fast and evasive. There will even be times where players can hear her snicker but not see her without enchantments or versa vice: cannot hear her without e...

Shout out to all my Social Media Peeps! Good Afternoon! This is the Product Manager. I wanted to say a quick thank you to all those that have taken the time to check out our blog to see what we are all about. As of right now, we are still a team of two. I know with this crazy world that we live in, it doesn't leave us much time for anything else. So, let me ask you a question: do you use Facebook, Instagram, and or Twitter?! I know that I do, to communicate with friends and family, and to get the Word of Epimetheus out there as well. I am looking for some peeps to help me out by spreading the word on various social media mediums; Everything from new weekly posts to giveaways (when we have them), and new upcoming artwork and ideas.  To anyone who is interested in spreading the word about The World of  Epimetheus , I have a challenge for you. Nathan our very own Developer/Producer created a Mascot for The World of Epimetheus. And I must say that he di...

Newpolios    This week I want to talk about the storyline . I was drawn into this fantastical world of myth, magic, and adventures through books. Escaping middle school with dreams about spelunking, discovering boobie traps, and finding hidden treasures leaving behind the troubles of life. The first book I recall reading by choice alone was Sword of Shannara , by Terry Brooks. I was about eleven then and was attending the Auburn Middle School.    That first book began a passion for reading that fed my desire to learn. It has been a boon in so many ways since. I have read to escape the troubles of family life and to distract myself from the days in the solitude of incarceration. I have read to learn and have been blessed to have access to a world wide web. Folks a passion for learning, or educating oneself if you will, is a powerful thing in this informational age. Where I once had to suffer questions no one could answer, I now have access to the ac...
