Meet the Ominous Omin of Braided Shore

[h2]Dear Travellers,[/h2]

While the team continue to battle the pesky problems in the game itself, animators Alex and Jennie have been bringing to life pests to plague your paths in the more southerly regions of Braided Shore. Though they aren't quite ready to make their debut in the world, the Omin you see here are brimming with mischief and raucous energy.

These little miscreants are quick to pick up things left unattended, simply taking what they want. their anti-social tendencies extend also to one another, and they seem to enjoy agitating their fellow Omin whenever possible. Theirs is a childlike kind of malignancy and they do little in the way of damage to your character, but you'd be well advised to be on your guard and keep your treasured items close!

What beasties have you had to beat, battle or evade on your travels so far? It would be great to know how you've experienced the Kettem, Maisu, Sefra and Omin of the land so far - if you are to shed some light on your experience of Braided Shore's more supernatural side drop us a line or two in the comments section!

Best Wishes,

Helen & the Dev Team xx

Barely Two Weeks In, Your Artistry Amazes Us

[h2]Dear Traveller,[/h2]

We're closing in on the end of our second week on the market with Book of Travels. As of Monday this week, we had 19 023 active accounts, and it is growing from there. It's been an absolute pleasure for us to read what you think about the game so far, and I've personally been loving to pop into the voice chat on our Discord channel and listen to your discussions and anecdotes of what you've experienced in Braided Shore.

Of course, we're still working hard on the game – optimising and fixing various technical issues and bugs, and there's a lot to be done in the coming two years. I know this has been said in so many contexts that it almost has lost its meaning, but this truly is only the beginning for Book of Travels.

We haven't been able to slow down our work pace just because the game now is available for purchase. Certainly for myself, there is more to do than ever. Besides talking with you, our lovely community, about everything and nothing, one of my favorite parts of my job right now is to look at all of the beautiful screenshots and pieces of artwork that you show us!

So, I thought it would be fun to share some of my favourites. It was really hard to decide on just a few, and I had to stop myself at a certain point because I still have other things to do (sadly), so these aren't the only masterpieces that are out there. Just a small selection of them.

Your artistry and passion is amazing to us! Please keep doing what you do, it really makes our day. In the meantime, have a fantastic weekend!

Best wishes,
Oliver & The Dev Team xx
