Someone at Nintendo said " A good idea solves multiple problems at once." Sounds like the inspiration mechanic was that!

So you're saying the secret is to last 5 years and have a genius designer wife, got it.

“I quit my job as an environment artist at Suckerpunch…” ahhhh that explains SO much!

I laughed so hard at you saying it's barely replayable. I totally understand why it wouldn't be replayable for a lot of people, but I found this game during a very weird time in my life and basically imprinted on it like a baby duck. It fills me with such warm feelings of curiosity and contentment that I have never felt in any other game. In so many little ways playing Eastshade feels like coming home. The final sequence brought me to tears when I finished my first playthrough. So far I have played 218 hours in Eastshade, and I can promise I will play many more. Thank you for this wonderful game, best of luck on all of your future projects.

Eastshade is one of my all time favorite games. The visuals, music, and mechanics all come together to create a beautiful peaceful sense of place. I've played it through twice, have forced others to play it just so I can watch them, and am thinking maybe it's soon time to go for #3. It really is a special game and I can't wait for Songs of Glimmerwick!

This man is living the dream. Absolute respect for everything you’ve accomplished in life!

I absolutely adored this game. Some beautiful world building ingenious game mechanics, and touching stories too. The heart you poured into crafting it from the start really shows. I can't wait for songs of Glimmerwick.

Seems like your wife is a real angel. Her insights and support must have been invaluable. Congratulations to you both and all the best for your next projects!

I first played Eastshade in a very dark moment of my life. It help me a lot to navigate through those difficult times. It was my shelter and I believe still is. I played the game countless times. Thank you all for this save haven.

inspiring, thank you.

Can't stress out how much Easthade has meant for me. It's such an amazing, healing experience. Beautiful game and a wonderful video. You and your wife are a true inspiration.

I teared up with the eastshade pie because that 'wife love' is a God given gift that only the ones who were blessed with know how it feels. I immediately paused the video and joined my wife for a "second late breakfast". That's absolutely something that she would do. I'm so happy for you guys, what a great journey, with a nice touch of climax with snow at the launch day.

Your story is a complete inspiration. I never thought I'd tear up watching a devlog for a game I never played. Gonna have to change that soon.

Congratulations on this achievement! Never heard of Eastshade before but it looks awesome and I'll totally check it out. Your story is very inspiring, Thanks for sharing!

I am so glad I came across your video! The game looks amazing and I love the whole concept of painting. I just added it to my wishlist on Steam! Thank you for taking the time to create something beautiful and relaxing! ❤

I still remember the first time I played Eastshade. I nearly cried when It finished, and I don’t cry often, because it felt like I was truly leaving a place. Thoug I must say it is funny you call Eastshade barely replayable bc it was the first game I ever replayed to completion usually don’t get much passed the tutorial 😅

The beginning of your video is exactly the leap i just took a few days ago. I've been working on my game for several months from the time i get off work until i go to bed, and on the weekends. I finally decided to quit my cushy programming job and go all in on my game with my wife.

I absolutely loved exploring Eastshade, well done for all the hard work! It changed your and my life forever. Songs of Glimmerwick has been added to my wishlist!

Haven't played Eastshade (yet) but absolutely LOVE the idea of painting beautiful scenes directly from the game - brilliantly original!
