We look forward to keeping the conversation going with you on our official Discord. Thanks, The Foregone Team
- Dev Update #4 - 30 September 2019
Recently, we received a question on the Discussion forum about the process behind how we’re making Foregone. We thought it would be an excellent opportunity to take a deeper dive as part of a Dev Update with Big Blue Bubble’s Art Director, Dan Rickard. High Level Look At a very high level, the general art process can be broken down into five stages - concept, model, texture, animation, and in-game. How we get there though is slightly different depending on whether we’re working with characters or environment art. For characters, we start with thumbnail sketches to gather inspiration and look for a strong silhouette. These are very quick and basic drawings to find general appeal and interest with an emphasis on overall body shape as it needs to be legible from both size on screen and being pixelated. After the drawing is approved, characters and environments are modelled and textured. Th…

We are too! We're excited to announce that we'll be at PAX West at the end of the month as part of PAX Rising! What is PAX Rising? PAX Rising showcases engaging games developed by smaller teams. The folks at PAX believe these titles have a chance to rise above their modest beginnings, by growing as a company, establishing a fan base or pushing the industry. We're thrilled and honoured to be a part of the PAX Rising booth (Booth 1801) - so if you're at the show come say hi and try the game out firsthand!

Today we wanted to take a deeper dive into the design process of our protagonist, The Arbiter, and give you a bit of a peek behind the curtain at the character design process. Two of the artists involved in The Arbiter's creation, Jamie and Naiha, were gracious enough to sit down and shed some light on how The Arbiter we see today came to be. Who is The Arbiter? JAMIE: She is our main female protagonist operative in Foregone. She was a part of a group of super-soldiers who have been given the title of Arbiter. The best of the best. Highly skilled, fearless, dangerous, often feared for their combat prowess during the war of Calagan. That’s where all this takes place. When the war ended, they were relegated to a law enfor…

- E3 2019 games every game confirmed - 13 June 2019
They just keep coming don’t they? A lot of games were announced at E3 2019, things that we didn’t know about, as well as stuff that’s previously announced, or expansions to already released games. Now, to the casual outsider, what we’re doing might seem absolutely nuts, but we thought we’d put together an alphabetical list of all the PC games that have been confirmed to appear at this year’s E3 show. With well over a hundred of them now in the books, the next year or so looks packed. (more…)
