The Sounds of Silence – The Oracle
BySite Administrator November 29, 2015

I’ve been talking a lot these last few weeks about work being done in the background. Quite often when I don’t have much news to give you it’s because our independent creators are busy working quietly on their own and at their own pace. We never want to rush our creators into developing a game…

Working at the Creator’s Pace – The Oracle
BySite Administrator November 15, 2015

Some days it feels like the progress of one game just races along while others slowly plod ahead towards an unseen finish line. Every game creator has their own timeline and sometimes that doesn’t match the hectic pace that Ed has set with his Era games. We strive to keep our creators moving forward at the…

Early Development – The Oracle
BySite Administrator November 8, 2015

Things are in the works. Right now, Ed is busy discussing rules, art, ideas, and all things game related with the creators of both Ether and our newest game. This is the difficult part, the part where we don’t have art to dazzle you or stories to mesmerize you. Work is being done and progress…
