iam8bit издадут коллекционное издание Eastward

....................................... Shipping Q3 2022 ....................................... For Eastward, developer Pixpil imagined a world on the brink of collapse, held together by a cast of characters doing their best not only to survive, but to find true, genuine meaning at the end of the world. Add in a dash of old-school RPG flavor, gorgeous pixel art, a sprinkling of classic adventure game puzzles, and a poignant atmosphere that oscillates elegantly from calming and nostalgic to frightening and hostile, and you have the recipe for a dish unlike any other.  For this iam8bit Exclusive Collector’s Edition, we collaborated with Pixpil and publisher Chucklefish to create a robust package worthy of Eastward’s lovely idiosyncrasies, a FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND physical game revelation, an original tabletop board game from acclaimed designer Erich Meyr (Squanch Games, Insomniac Games) and illustrator Ryan Brinkerhoff, inspired by the world of Eastward, plus an exclusive cover sheet by artist Laura Bifano. This cooperative tabletop game sees 2-4 players working together to rescue villagers and defeat enemies, racing against a sinister miasma that threatens to engulf the world — complete with a foldout game board, 15 food cards, 10 item cards, and 4 unique playable character standees. What’s even cooler is that the thematic nature of the game’s two lead characters John and Sam, inspired us to design something that wasn’t just standalone, but could also pair with the Eastward vinyl soundtrack as an expansion pack to the board game experience. YES, that’s right - there are TWO board games, each entirely self-sufficient — with unique playfields, cards and characters — but together they create even more rad tabletop fun times! We encourage you to try them both out!       Copyright Pixpil Games © 2022 All Rights Reserved. Published by Chucklefish Limited © 2022.

....................................... Shipping Q3 2022 ....................................... .. Eastward is a game defined by its contrasts, a tale of finding hope even on the brink of total dismay told via a retro aesthetic and some decidedly modern and unexpected storytelling. It’s no surprise, then, that composer Joel Corelitz crafted an appropriately eclectic soundtrack for Pixpil and Chucklefish’s Adventure RPG. It’s a love letter to the history of video game music, dancing confidently between genres, moods, and themes while weaving together a fully realized portrait of the game’s unique world.  Now, iam8bit is proud to present this Exclusive Collector’s Edition of the soundtrack on 2xLP vinyl, pairing the delicious dish of the game’s music, with a Custom-Created Board Game from acclaimed designer Erich Meyr (Squanch Games, Insomniac Games) and illustrator Ryan Brinkerhoff. This cooperative tabletop game sees players working together to rescue villagers and defeat enemies, racing against a sinister miasma that threatens to engulf the world — complete with 12x24 built-in gatefold board, 15 food cards, 10 item cards, and 4 unique playable character standees. What’s even cooler is that the thematic nature of the game’s two lead characters John and Sam, inspired us to design something that wasn’t just standalone, but could also pair with the Eastward Nintendo Switch Collector’s Edition as an expansion pack to the board game experience. YES, that’s right - there are TWO board games, each entirely self-sufficient — with unique playfields, cards and characters — but together they create even more rad tabletop fun times! We encourage you to try them both out!
