The next chapter of our adventure begins, as we start to roll out more and more information about the game, gather sign-ups, and work toward bringing the pre-alpha to players. Such a great feeling for the studio!

Today is a day that we have anticipated for a very long time. We can share what we've been working on.

Sign up for the pre-alpha, join the Discord, follow our accounts, and join us on this adventure.
You've made it to the middle of the week. Put your feet up, take a moment, pause your doomscroll and watch the fish. Now is the time to check your armor and rest, we'll take first watch.
An important reference by one of our Environment Artists that exists in the map weโre using for pre-alpha. No, weโre not renaming the game to We Will Be Guards!
We might hold a competition when pre-alpha starts to see who can find it first, though...
Over 1600 sign ups to the pre-alpha so far, but don't just sit on the sidelines. Sign up on our website and make sure you're ready for the playtest to open. It'll be a blast!

I've always been a huge fan of games, and art is something I've had a passion for ever since I was a kid. But I never really connected the two, until I started watching YouTube art tutorials from video game artists. When I realized that the characters and worlds in my beloved video games had been created by artists just like myself, I knew what I wanted to pursue in life. Eventually, I started studying game art, and the rest is history.

The culture at Cult of the North is really great! Everyone is super open and friendly. I feel like my voice matters, and that is something that feels incredibly nice for me as a junior in the industry. I feel like an essential part of the team, and not just a cog in a machine. In my first month, I already felt at home, like I'd been working with these people forever.

What's next? Hopefully a lot of things. I feel like Cult of the North is a place where I can grow a lot, both within my craft and as a person, and I hope to stay with this wonderful gang for a long time. So for now I'll just keep making cool stuff together with my team. I can't wait to show people what we're cooking up!

Meet Jacob, 3D Artist at Cult of the North.
What inspired you to pursue a career in the gaming industry?
I was always enamored with visuals in gaming. I was that one person who never wanted to skip cutscenes because I wanted to watch the visuals (often multiple times)
After learning that game development had become a serious career path there was no question about it. I needed to become a game developer.
How would you describe the culture at Cult of the North?
I've not been here for very long but my first impression is a very welcoming group of talented people that share a common goal. To make awesome games!
What's next for you at Cult of the North?
I see a lot of potential exciting challenges ahead of us that I'm sure we will overcome. I see a lot of growth both as a person and as an artist in the future ahead..

Iโve played games since I got my first computer โ a Commodore 64 โ back in the early 80s; and I built my first games on that awesome machine. Even though I subsequently studied law, economics and mathematics at different times during my school years, nothing ever felt quite as right as working with games. Iโve been fortunate to operate in this industry for over 25 years now and I have no plans of slowing down.

Inexorable pursuit of greatness. Everyone working here are fast, direct, humble and supremely qualified to do brilliant things. That, in combination with our very fast development cycles, leads to an amazing first game materializing in a very short time. There is no stopping this team from building hit games.

Hiring tons of new great people. Watching players enjoy our game in the first pre-Alpha. Continue iterating on the design of the game. Most of all, enjoy being in the company of such talented people doing something completely new and unique.
