Incredibly honored and excited to see War of the Western Deep making @techraptor.net's top-11 list from PAX West! If you haven't checked out the other games on here, you should!

Oho! #PointNClickFriday falls on #NationalVideoGamesDay this year! Coincidence? Most definitely--but still very cool. If you didn't have a chance to check out War of the Western Deep at PAX, fret not: the demo launches on Steam SOON! Wishlist today so you'll know when it goes live!

Because Sunsgrove Studios is a fully remote team, we don't have a conventional studio space like other developers. In actuality, our always-on Discord server serves that purpose, allowing for all the interactions you'd expect from any game development team!

THANK YOU to everyone who made this PAX West our biggest and best yet! There were nonstop crowds, folks adoring the art, and returning players excited to see more! We couldn't be happier with the reception, and we're already hard at work on bringing the demo to STEAM, so stay tuned for more info!

First up, @westerndeep.bsky.social's WAR OF THE WESTERN DEEP - a hand-drawn open-world 2D point and click adventure game by Sunsgrove Studios. This is a lovingly crafted experience. Very cozy. Top tier animation and voice acting - the demo was short, but fun! store.steampowered.com/app/2976440/...

Still proud of this piece of Quinlan fanart I did for @westerndeep.bsky.social ! Please check out their comic at westerndeep.net , and wishlist their upcoming game on Steam, War of the Western Deep! store.steampowered.com/app/2976440/... #art #noai #digitalart #fanart #BtWD #squirrel #furry

Sassing the Kingsguard? Well, expect to see this face a lot. Mirren can REALLY test this fella's patience. Come check out Sunsgrove Studios, Booth 662 at PAX West and give it a try yourself! #indiegames #adventuregames #PAXWest

I'm really looking forward to what the future holds 😏  More #FadingEcho and @westerndeep.bsky.social  news coming soon! Along with more... maybe... who's to say... Photo: @dianalragland Hair: @olafderlig Makeup: @ermahnospina Styling: @ashleypruittstylist

The first playable scene of War of the Western Deep is also the first playable scene of our new #PAXWest demo! Mirren's loft is filled with all kinds of fun items to give players a chance to get to know their hero a bit more before she sets off on her big adventure 🔍 Come play it at Booth 662!

Was such a treat being able to catch up with the wonderful @samanthabeart.bsky.social at SDCC last week. We also made sure to bring along their very own Sunsgrove Studios team shirt and the very first Mirren pins! Thank you @theselenaprice.bsky.social for the amazing photos!

We've been cooking up something new in anticipation of PAX West... After all, what's a new War of the Western Deep demo without a new War of the Western Deep trailer? 🎞️

With Mirren joining our grand cast of Western Deep protagonists, it seemed only fair that she get her own enamel pin! Visit us at PAX West next month at Booth 662 for a chance to get your hands on one!

The sun is still hours from rising, there's no coffee, and you're on very, VERY official guard duty. This royal kingsguard, played impeccably by @reecebridger.bsky.social, is really just trying to get through his morning!

We had the pleasure of knowing Roberta Vaughan via social media and the Quest for Glory/Hero-U Facebook group, and finally got to meet in person at the Adventure Game Fan Fair last summer. She made us--complete newcomers to the adventure game development space--feel like we belonged. (1/3)

Roberta is one of the most dedicated and enthusiastic folks in adventure games, and her love for the craft and developers both old and new helped make me and the Sunsgrove Studios team feel right at home in the community. There's a GoFundMe to help! www.gofundme.com/f/donate-to-...

Mirren just dropping into your feed to let you know we'll have a brand-new playable War of the Western demo at PAX West next month!

My attack on @kobb.bsky.social , of Dakkan, from @westerndeep.bsky.social ! Here he is demonstrating a model catapult at the war table. Definitely not a toy. Certainly not playing... ;) #art #noai #ArtFight #ArtFight2025 #otter #furry #furryart

A new enemy lurks in the forests of the Border Coast... This variant of the bandit throws daggers at Mirren that must be deflected with a well-timed attack!

Bugg forgot to post a crayon drawing this morning! Here is a Canid soldier from @westerndeep.bsky.social that Bugg drew for Sleepy Canid! Bugg also has a crossbow, but Bugg thinks it is defective. #art #noai #crayon #BtWD #wolf

"Terribly sorry—thought I heard something just then..."

LET’S GO! #warofthewesterndeep 🐿️

So excited to have just wrapped our second batch of VO sessions with the incredible @samanthabeart.bsky.social for War of the Western Deep! There's a whole lot more Mirren VO coming in the new PAX demo this August, and we can't wait to share it!

Get ready for PAX West--you know Mirren's going to be! We'll have a new demo, merch, and more! You can wishlist War of the Western Deep on Steam right here! store.steampowered.com/app/2976440/...

It's been a long time coming, but we're happy to reveal our brand-new studio logo! Sunsgrove Studios is a boutique, fully remote indie studio that is currently developing War of the Western Deep. Come visit us and play the new demo at PAX West this August!

🚨It is my immense pleasure to announce that I will be starring in Fading Echo, a new game from @newtales.bsky.social - also featuring @thatbronzegirl.bsky.social #LauraBailey and @matthewmercer.bsky.social 🚨 More info below ⬇️

You should read this comic for yourself, it's SUPER good: westerndeep.net/comic/coming... And while you're at it, check out the game that's in progress! I'm genuinely excited to see what this looks like: store.steampowered.com/app/2976440/...

Mirren steels herself for battle... and the push towards our big PAX West milestone in August! We've got a lot of new stuff cooking over the next three months--we can't wait to share it!

These initial animations went a long way to defining the look and feel of our duels in War of the Western Deep. We're incredibly excited to be able to build off these to show off a completely new enemy type at PAX West this August. You can Wishlist here! store.steampowered.com/app/2976440/...

We're feeling pretty confident that we should have a run of new softcover Volume 1's and 2's at PAX this August, along with more of the hardcover Volume 3's! While rooting around the print files we also found this tragically unused cover art variant for Volume 3.

We're hard at work on a brand-new War of the Western Deep demo that we'll be debuting at PAX West this summer. There will be new scenes to explore, new dialogue to hear, new puzzles to solve, and a new enemy to overcome!

Volumes 1 and 2 of Beyond the Western Deep are currently SOLD OUT, which is blowing our collective minds. While we're not currently in a position to crowdfund new hardcover runs, we ARE looking at potentially self-funding new paperback editions--hopefully in time for PAX West!

Some more concept art of the Kingsguard character from War of the Western Deep! He's got some range, this guy!

The King's Guard (wonderfully performed by @reecebridger.bsky.social) is the first character Mirren meets in War of the Western Deep. Have we mentioned the first scene takes place in the twilight hours? This poor fella hasn't gotten ANY sleep.

We've all been heads-down for a bit, so we were thinking it's time we shared a sneak-peek of something new! In the first moments of War of the Western Deep, a twilight visitor kicks off Mirren's adventure... but she can't leave the city until she finds an important item in her loft!

HUGE congratulations to master adventure game craftsman @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social on the release of his latest and most ambitious adventuring opus yet, OLD SKIES! It's been an absolute pleasure watching this come together over the years. Check it out, and GET TIME-TRAVELING! 🕰️🕰️🕰️

I'M A FLUFFY BOI! Had the honour of recording for this lovely Tamian Kingsguard in 'Beyond The Western Deep'! This game has so much heart and soul and I'm truly over the moon to be a part of something so artistically beautiful!

We're excited to announce the wonderful @reecebridger.bsky.social has joined the cast for War of the Western Deep as the Kingsguard! This stuffy royal envoy has no qualms waking our hero in the twilight hours to pass on the king's orders--so expect to see (and hear!) more soon!

In War of the Western Deep, Mirren's adventure begins... in her loft! A mysterious emergency summons from the king stirs her into action, as she prepares for the long journey ahead.
