We've been busy!

We have brought a new composer on the project to complete the Elden
soundtrack. Ox Tung is a incredibly talented composer skilled in most forms of music and composition, and childhood friend of Dylan. The first pieces of music completed exceed all expectation. You can listen to some of his person tracks at the link below.

Dylan has recently moved into an collaborative studio space for indie game
development in Melbourne named The Arcade.. Currently he's the officeless developer in the corner of the Studio Mountains space. Thanks to Ken Wong.

We're in the middle of closed playtesting as I write. Five testers are playing and
​deconstructing the game and the feedback has been invaluable! Play testing is far too often over looked by many developers. But it's one of the best ways to measure how well you are succeeding in your design goals.
​
If you're like me and tend to have a vision for the whole of your game, you might think that you don't need the opinions of random testers, but you are one person and being able to see how others interpret your design can be the determining factor between a hit and a miss.

Elden is now known as Elden - Path of the Forgotten. You might be thinking "Why rename the game this far into development?" Well, there's a pretty simple reason. As an indie developer marketing and releasing your game, no matter how big or small your budget may be the name of your game is the most important marketing tool you will ever have.

​A name can say a lot about a game and make a person want to play by the name alone, a bad name can't a bad name gives no context. Your name needs to sell itself.
