Take a little break and enjoy the peace of Lewthport under a dusting of snow (remind you of anywhere Pale?) ❄️ Happy holidays everyone 🩵 ~~~ #indiegames #thehearthandharbour

Happy holidays from all of us at Saltstone Studios!! 🥂

What a year it’s been! We rebranded the studio, moved into a new office, started a creative games hub, announced a new game, and even released a physical edition of The Pale Beyond! 🍾

This has been a very tough year for the games industry, and we’re so incredibly grateful for the hard work and immense patience of our team, as well as the support of our friends, family and peers. Thank you for sticking with us, and thank you Fellow Traveller too for taking another chance on us!

Our little community has been growing too, thank you every one who’s played our game, who’s done fanart or left a nice review or comment. Yous are the best ❤️

Happy holidays from all of us at Saltstone Studios!! 🥂

Our upcoming game The Hearth and Harbour is fully 2D, but with some neat tricks we’ve made it look 3D. Ethan, our environment artist, did this with a special type of texture called a Normal Map. (Thread! 1/7)
