Following the success of the first-person traveling painter-adventure Eastshade, they have set out to make something a little different from their debut title.
The core team consists of married couple Jaclyn Ciezadlo (game director on Songs of Glimmerwick, lead designer, lead artist) and Danny Weinbaum (game director on Eastshade, lead programmer). Eastshade Studios is committed to making games that feel like true places, and exploring the ocean of game design outside of combat. More information on the studio website: http://www.eastshade.com/
