Triple Expedition Wrap-Up: Gamescom, PAX West, and Demo

Tacticians,

This year has been full of new feats, for both our team and Ashe’s crew. For us, we went to our first-ever Gamescom and then forged onward to Seattle for PAX West; for the game, it has been in closed beta and public demo, with Early Access coming in the near future.

The unprecedented triple expedition for us will soon be completed, with the demo closing at 3PM PT today (September 3rd). If you played the demo but haven’t filled out the feedback survey, please do so here, as it will remain open for only a few more days. We are deeply grateful for all the feedback, both from new players as well as those who played the game before (including previous PAX events). We can never emphasize and thank you enough on how your feedback shapes our game.


If you visited our booth, you may also have talked to Jin Sang, our creative director!


For PAX, we also brought some goodies to share with you, per our tradition! This time it was a canvas tote with our studio logo. Instead of trying to remember all 3 game titles, you can just search for us (Ocean Drive Studio) to find all 3 games… and some more ;)


While our triple expedition ended, we are far from being done. We will be working hard to take your feedback, implement them in the game, and bring back a more exciting journey for you with Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch!

Dev Log #8: Demo Opens!

Hello!

This is Jin Sang Kim, Creative Director of Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch.
We’re very excited to be able to showcase the game’s demo version, almost a year after its initial reveal at PAX West 2023.

Veil of the Witch began with a vision: to create a unique type of turn-based RPG, incorporating and addressing player feedback from our first project, Lost Eidolons. We built on the solid foundation of the combat system, which most players loved, and refined our approach to storytelling (which many found lacking) within the context of a new, looping roguelite structure.

Over the past several months, we’ve held a flurry of company-wide internal tests, friends-and-family tests, and a small closed beta. We’ve listened extremely carefully to player feedback and implemented a ton of improvements at every step of the process – whether that feedback was reinforcing things we already knew, or pointing out things we either hadn’t thought of or didn’t consider a priority. We take it all seriously, and have done our absolute best to present you, our players, with a great game we can feel proud of.

Now we’re running our first large-scale public demo as we prepare for the Early Access release later this year. This will be our final such playtest prior to Early Access.
We look forward to hearing your thoughts and using your feedback to improve the game even further.



Jin Sang Kim,
Creative Director, Veil of the Witch
