[h2]Community Updates[/h2]



The Herald brings forth the latest offering from the members of the Haus...

We have been recording our Voice Acting Fan Submissions and making them available as a podcast. Temuldjin's story, The Ancient Tablet, is now available. Stay tuned in for more to come!

[h3]Last but not least, a special Holiday wish from our family to yours...[/h3]



See you all in the new year, where we'll have plenty of exciting updates to come!

In the month of October we learned all about Revenants, watched more live art, had more reveals and one very special guest, Thor Myrdal! Let's go through each stream, just in case you missed it!



October’s Lore of the Dead stream was all about Revenants! Warriors in life, these undead once had a code of honor, dedicated their entire lives to their purpose, and in return were faced with unimaginable betrayal. They fought death itself, clawing their way back to the realm of the living to seek revenge. Mike, Jack and Xan delved deep into the morals of our favorite vengeance-driven class, citing inspirations from history around the world.



In our Brushes with Death stream, we watched as James Macleod transformed the Draco-Liche even further, adding detail and textures and describing his inspirations and ideas live. James is the art director for Deadhaus Sonata and every month we get to see exactly why! He gives in-depth descriptions of art terminology and the technology behind how he makes his masterpieces.



We had a very special guest on our Chains of Truth stream- Thor Myrdal! He is an amazing musician, sound designer and voice actor we are thrilled to work with. Thor is lending his voice to Deadhaus to create the spell system using Proto-Indo European (PIE). We even got to hear a few spells!



Last but not least, on our Out of the Shadows stream we had not one but two reveals! We already saw the concept art for the Werebat form, and now we get to see polished 3D renders! But that wasn't the only Halloween treat in store; we also got to see a stunning Flythrough of the Tech Demo Arena!

That's it for October's streams; if you want to catch future streams they happen every Wednesday at 4:00 EST on Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook. If you want to stay up-to-date on development progress and get involved in the community don't forget to join our Discord, follow us on Twitter, and subscribe to our Youtube page for future videos!
