Hello all,
Our name is Ebon Sky Studios, and We are a new audio games development team whose goal is to create immersive role-playing games for the blind community. Our focus is to tell immersive stories, combined with exploration and solid battle mechanics.
As recently mentioned in a message to the audio games mailing list, we have been working on a set of game development tools over the past two years and are starting production on our first audio game title: Crimson Eclipse.
Today We want to talk a little more about our developer tools (Sable) which have been designed so that not a single line of code, any scripting, or text file modification are required. In this series of videos, we want to show you how this all works-from initial map creation all the way through to dialogue and monster design.
We hope you find this series to be informative, and that it will shed a little light on our design processes. We encourage you to leave comments/ask questions.
some links to frequently asked questions about Sable are below, then underneath that are The links to our Youtube videos showing off Sable, i've also included a link to the Sable Change log which shows all the changes which have gone in since the public Alpha test we ran in May 2020:
FAQ:
-Sable is windows based and has been written to design turn based RPG style audio games.
-our focus with Sable is a set of tools where every part of the RPG audio game can be created with absolutely no coding or scripting , allowing anyone regardless of programming knowledge full access to each aspect of creating their own game. due to this coding and scripting is not required, there are also no tools for scripting within Sable.
-We intend to release Sable, so that people can create their own RPG’s, however Our plan is to first launch our own game title called Crimson Eclipse, which will be created using Sable. This will give us a chance to fully road test Sable , whilst making any fine tuning adjustments where necessary. Sable therefore will not be released until after Crimson Eclipse.
-there is no release date yet for either Sable or Crimson eclipse. As soon as we have any release dates we will be sure to announce them here in this first post
-No details on pricing or distribution have been confirmed at this stage, finer details such as this will be released nearer to launch. As above, once we have that information, we will be sure to share it here in this first post.
-you can add your own sounds and music to any part of Sable. Simply adding your sounds will automatically populate the appropriate menu in sable with that sound
-to see Sable in action, you can check out links to each of the Sable videos below. If you want to stay up to date on news and updates, links to our website and social media are in our signature at the bottom of the post.
