Hello again and welcome to another Guile & Glory: Firstborn development blog! PAX Australia has wrapped up for another year, and it's once again for me to share our adventures at the convention, and all the lessons we learned along the way. It was our third year showing the game at PAX, but it was also our first year in PAX Rising. In previous years, we had demoed the game as part of the Academy of Interactive Entertainment's Incubator Showcase, but thanks once again to the g

Hello again, and welcome to another Firstborn development blog! It has certainly been a while since I posted an update here, but the team and I have not been idle. A lot has happened with Firstborn in the last year, and I figure it's past time to bring you all up to speed on where we are right now, and what to expect going forward.

Hello again and welcome to another Firstborn development blog! The last couple of posts have been focused on the lore for the project, so I thought this time I'd mix it up with something a little bit more technical. For this week's blog, we're going to take a look at how a character in Firstborn goes from an early concept sketch to a finished sprite ready for the game. In this case, we'll take a look at the upcoming Rakshasa boss scheduled for release with pre-alpha update 3.

Hello again and welcome to another Firstborn development blog! With the upcoming pre-alpha update set to usher in the new Essence system, I thought it would be a good time to take a look at how magic works in the world of Firstborn. Essence: The Power of the Gods Essence is the raw power of creation, used by the Gods to bring forth the world and the Firstborn at the dawn of time. When it manifests, Essence usually appears as a strange, purplish flame that burns without any vi

Hello again and welcome to another Firstborn development blog! With the next public release on the horizon, I thought it would be a good time to pick the regular blogs up again with a series about the lore and world of Firstborn. This week, we take a look at the three races that inhabit the world of Firstborn - what they are, where they live, and how they interact with each other. Humans: Merchants and Warriors: Humans in the world of Firstborn face constant peril - savage be

Hello and welcome to another Firstborn development blog! You've probably noticed this week's blog is coming through a little later than usual. I hope you will agree that it was worth the wait, though, because today we have the first teaser for version 3 of the Firstborn Pre-Alpha: This video shows off some of the new features and content you can expect in the upcoming update.
