Hello, ArtStationeers!
When we checked the calendar, we could hardly believe our eyes: today marks the 10th (!) anniversary of the release of Ori and the Blind Forest! A decade! Absolutely. Mindboggling.
As you may know, yours truly got to do the visual development and art production on the game, and it's been an important milestone in the team's history. We grew a lot as artists during the 4 years of development. General critical and commercial accolades aside, knowing that the game means a lot to many of you, too, warms our hearts to this day!
A large shout-out to the lovely members of the art team, and a big tip of the hat to the folks at Moon Studios for having us!
We did have a bit of celebratory cake in the office today, of course (Marzipan topping deco handcrafted by Johannes Figlhuber himself.) To honor the occasion we also added another artwork to our portfolio that was made for the dev team shirts way back. Enjoy!
Last but not least, how about an obscure Easter egg that probably only a few players ever noticed? Did you know that Johannes sneaked in a little homage to Laputa in the background? Well, now you do! Think you'll manage to find it? ^_^
