My understanding is that tweet has it backwards. Digimancy has an ex-Disco Elysium writer (Märten Rattasepp) who assisted with the development of Pentiment. He didn't leave Obsidian to join Digimancy.

Feargus being a bro and helping Ziets get his company back on track.

This is why you don't burn all the bridges when going solo, unlike certain guy who rhymes with Swiss Macarone.

This is their latest tweet. So they're not dead. Just their projects get cancelled a lot. Not their fault, I would think.


Holy copium!

Avowed's not coming out. Full stop.
Soon to be avoided.

I think the truth may be worse than that: even if it will come out at some point, what are the chances of it being good after being so long in a development hell?

An RPG writer named Avellone
Dreamed of a barbarian on a throne,
But when time came to script it
The character was misfit,
Both unpronounceable and monochrome.

Most impressive part of the interview was how she made sure to never refer to Brian directly. :thumbsup:

Would be cool if they released a game sometime. It's almost been five years. I know they were working on something with a publisher that got dropped, but let's see something - anything please. A screenshot? A concept?

@DarkUnderlord can way to make a "simp" button?
In what possible way do you derive "simping" from that comment? Makes absolutely zero sense.

EDIT: Please elaborate, jackofshadows. I'm genuinely curious.
You're begging for a glimpse of a theoretical game from a studio that's never released not just a single good game, but a single game at all. That's simping to the highest of levels.

You may even be a fan of one of the older guys at the studio, but recent examples proved that's not helpful in making good games at all, see Autist Worlds.

Paradox pulling the plug on them should've been a death sentence, they're likely shackled to Avowed until it's release.

What's there to elaborate? Like Bester's already answered, there's zero track record. Zero. Ziets is a cool guy I guess but that's not even remotely enouth to be excited about whatever outsource stuff they're working on. Or even their own imaginary game which might never see the light of day ever at this rate. I can try to shlick thinking about it all for the company but that will not change anything reality speaking.

When Twitter was still available from outside Digimacy had only four tweets. One of them was black square for George Floyd and second was rainbow. And just like Brass Lion (Manveer Heir) they still hiring, and hiring, and hiring...
