Finished @giantsquidstudios.com 's Sword of the Sea. Incredible, incredible work. I'm blown away, I actually liked it more than Journey, a game I very much love. My review: backloggd.com/u/Gandheezy2...

This might be my Gpose of the Year.

I actually got to tweak with VFX (even it does not really show XD) and it came out very close to what I had in mind!

This year, I learned lots of new things and tried to experiment thks to all the wolqotd posters and gposers around me!

Artwork from Discord user Snoopy. A vertical scene with cool tones. The Wraith, placed in front of the moon in the sky, is followed by a parade of fish and sea creatures floating above the desert sands from Sword of the Sea. Artwork from Discord user Ads. A duality of hot and cold. The blue Wraith surfs up the scales of Tor Namun, a snake-like villain, who emanates red fire from inside it's mouth. Artwork from Discord user MiniMeal. The Wraith leaps on to the hoversword in front of a desert scene... a hint of The Diver from ABZU is peaking out from beneath the waves.

A surfing adventure with gorgeous environments whose movement feels so, so satisfying. Reminds me of being like 12 again and playing SSX Tricky, except in these absolutely beautiful spaces

Sword of the Sea by @giantsquidstudios.com

I'm a very big fan of Giant Squid's previous games, so there was no surprise when I adored the beauty and flow of this. Not only did I enjoy it, but I also got to experience my 8yo son falling in love with it too.
