Eastward: Design Works has gone to print! 📖

We have an exciting update on Eastward: Design Works. Here’s our Project Director Shaun with the news:

We are very pleased to share that Eastward: Design Works has now gone to print! It has been a wonderful experience working alongside such talented and creative teams, and we believe we’ve produced a book that fans will love.

In preparing the book for print, we shared the final version with everybody associated with the Design Works. The Pixpil team provided any relevant feedback, as did composer Joel Corelitz (who features in the book), and the STZ collective – the creatives behind the opening animation you see in the game. We also shared it with our partners Chucklefish, who shared the following:

“Eastward: Design Works is such a treasure! You can feel the love and care that went into every page, with deep respect for both the developers and the game. Lost in Cult should be incredibly proud of this beautiful creation – fans of Eastward are going to adore it!"

With the book now off to print, there will be several key production steps that will take place over the next month. We will be sure to keep you in the loop with photos and progress updates. For starters, take a look at these wet proofs we’ve just received! We are carefully selecting the spreads we share with you so as not to spoil anything! There’s a particular chapter of the book that we haven’t advertised, and we think fans are going to love it – as fans first ourselves, we are very happy to have been able to include it.

It is important to us that we communicate an accurate shipping window with you. With that in mind, we want to hit a couple of important milestones before we do. We will be in touch over the coming weeks to share more as we move ever closer to getting Eastward: Design Works into your hands. On a personal note, I will be forever grateful for the kind words and support we’ve received as we look to make this everything you, and the Pixpil team, deserve.

Shaun, Project Director
