Shardlight - A Wadjet Eye Game by Ben304 and Grundislav

Looking good.  The voice acting is so much better than the temp tracks that you had during the Mittens demo.

this is nice, real nice!

Can't wait for this!  Kudos for branching out to Urban Fantasy as well.  I wouldn't know the first thing about that.

Atmosphere is suffocating (in a good way), the lighting rocks: the radioactive/mystical green and brown glow is a nice changeup from the cyan-themed Technobabylon.

This may be a total subjective nitpick that I notice cause I do audio engineering and no one will give a crap about, but watching the video with headphones in there seems to be a noticeable amount of compression of the music when the voice is speaking toward the middle/end of the video. 

Great stuff!

Hehe. You caught me. Yes, I lowered the volume of the music juuust slightly towards the end because the VO was difficult to hear. I tried to hide it as best I could. I figured only audio engineers would notice it. Lo and behold...

[Snarky]

I also noticed it, and I'm no audio engineer (but I was listening with earbuds).

The game looks great, but I wasn't so keen on the music in the trailer: there were some weird rhythm changes and odd notes mixed in that kept throwing me off. Maybe it will work better in-game.

Maybe you've had this exposure before and I haven't noticed but Shardlight got some coverage off a pretty big site

Wow, this looks spectacular.

[Grundislav]

Shardlight is previewed in the Holiday Issue of PC Gamer!

[splat44]

Wow! Interesting!

Since it's coming spring 2016, I don't mind helping to test this prior to release.

I am in fact testing one of AprilSkies game and he knows how throughout I am:

A nice Hands-on at Rock, Paper, Shotgun.

I got a chance to play the preview as well and wrote some thoughts over here. Spoiler: it was good

We also have a new trailer:

Crazy Epic!  So pre-ordered!

Also, that soundtrack really pops; reminiscent of the Primordia motif, but run through a Clint Mansell prog-rock filter.

[Dave Gilbert]

Not surprising since the same guy composed it!

[dactylopus]

This just keeps getting better.  That new trailer is wonderful.  Can't wait to play it, and now I know when I will have the chance!

Thanks for the update!

Hooray! Been waiting so long for the Scottish game since it's first rumours on the BCT podcast and your Twitter. And now, it's finally here.
