A new milestone is set in the Renowned Explorers adventure; Alpha phase. We made sure to gather some footage for you, please take a look at the Alpha trailer: For those that haven’t seen enough yet, the Monks are organizing a ‘Sneak Preview’ event on Twitch where they will talk about the ins and outs […]

I would like to guide you through the creation of a city scene for Renowned Explorers. Hopefully this will bring you some tips and tricks on creating a scene of you own. In the first phase, the sketch, I try to focus upon the main composition, a city with a flowing line that guides the viewer’s […]

These past months we have received some bits and pieces on Renowned Explorers, hinting us to the adventure theme and revealing some strategies. We were wondering how the development is going and what vision Abbey Games has with Renowned Explorers: International Society. Early this week, we managed to talk to one of the founders of Abbey […]

A quick heads up: Reus is currently for sale on Steam! We’re 75% off this weekend only. So grab it here while it lasts. Another thing you might have noticed is that we’re building a new website.

This late level animal is available as soon as you hit level 3, and forms the ultimate combo with desert plants. Besides giving a good amount of food, it also provides the wealth […]

Following Abbey’s sole nun Marlies and musical talent Joni’s footsteps (or finger presses, I guess?), it’s now up to me, Abbey’s labeled Ninja Monk and Eating Champion, to write an article about my main duty on Reus; the art and animation of the giants themselves! When I first joined Abbey Games, they’d been working on Reus for […]
