Hey everyone,
We often get requests for some more material to dive into the Endless Universe outside of the games. Something to keep immersing oneself into the lives of heroes and villains, as a hero holding a standard or a fly on the wall... So we listened and thought real hard about vignettes that could capture the spirit of each civilization in Endless Space 2. Comics seemed a great material to convey an atmosphere, and we hope you like these. In this third installment in our series, set in the vast reaches of space, an Academy away team makes a discovery that is... out of this world.
Better than the A team!
Slowhands, lead writer on the project, with some more insight into the story:
We had a basic problem with the Riftborn comic as the universe from which they come is completely different (you'll know what I mean if you watch their trailer). They are beings from another dimension, so visually and as far as presenting society and individuals it would be eight pages of incomprehensible weirdness. We figured that this would not make for very appealing entertainment.
So we took a different tack, realizing that it would be more pragmatic to show the Riftborn from the point of view of beings similar to us. So early in the next attempt at story construction we decided that it would be about heroes meeting the Riftborn for the first time. Initially the comic showed some heroes exploring their base camp, but that was a relatively static situation full of discussions concerning the nature of time anomalies.
Again, not so exciting.
So we drank too much coffee, got a little crazy, and came up with this. When in doubt, add Cravers and stir vigorously.
Just click it.
We hope you like this third installment, because there's still more to come! If you have any questions or comments, you can shoot them in this thread at Arkel, who leads the project!
