Hello Exoborne Community!

Since our announcement of Exoborne at The Game Awards, we have been waiting for the moment when our players will get a chance to try Exoborne. Today, we are excited to share that we are preparing to host a number of playtests in the near future. The first of them will be closed and of a smaller scale, but we will also be looking to host a larger open playtest later down the line.

We hope that you are as excited as we are! Now make sure to fill in our playtest survey here for a chance to be among the first to participate!

The first Closed Playtest will take place from May 30, 5 PM PDT until June 5th, 1 AM PDT.

The purpose of these playtests will be to get your feedback early on to ensure that we can make the best game possible and to test the stability of the game's infrastructure.

Also, as a small token of our appreciation for signing up for the playtest, we have prepared a small gift in Exoborne that will be given to you once the game launches.*

We look forward to seeing you in Colton County!

Hello Exoborne Community!

Congratulations on completing stage 4 of the RE_HACK ARG and gaining access to the weather satellite!

Three new concept arts have been unlocked, which showcase more details about the environment in the game.

We designed the first one to evoke the familiar feeling of walking down the street in a regular suburban neighbourhood but with the forces of nature having drastically altered parts of the environment.

The second one showcases the US Southern-style architecture, which you will frequently find in Exoborne.

Here, you can see how both nature and humans are utilizing the ruins of the old world.

The third picture captures the intensity of a combat situation as a storm is quickly approaching. In Exoborne, you will always have to weigh the risks versus the rewards. Getting too greedy can be fatal!

This image was developed using a technique called ‘photo bashing’, where we use our photo references or 3D assets, layer them, and then paint over them.

This is a fast and efficient method to create concept art, especially when dealing with numerous details and objects of varying dimensions and wanting to maintain a realistic style.

Until next time, see you in the apocalypse!
