Name That NPC! & Pre-Alpha Adventures Continue

Hey Windup Minds Community,

Things are getting magical around here! Not only is our pre-alpha test in full swing (more on that below), but we're also inviting you to help us name the mysterious creatures in our game!

Name That NPC! Contest

Remember those curious little sprites we've been teasing? The ones with the mischievous smiles and the knack for teleporting? Well, they need a name!

We're calling on all creative wordsmiths and lore enthusiasts to help us find the perfect moniker for these enigmatic beings.

Here's the deal:

• Head over to our Discord server: https://discord.gg/GjRYG6grN5 

• Submit your most creative and fitting names here: https://forms.gle/DwhvP3LMGEcJQW6B9

• The winning name will be chosen by our team and revealed on November 21st!

The winner will receive:

• The honor of naming a species in our game!

• A special role in our Discord server.

• Bragging rights for all eternity (or at least until the game launches 😉).

• A special gift!

Behind the Scenes with Dren

Our Audio Designer & Composer, Dren McDonald, is hard at work creating the enchanting soundscape for our game. In this video, he shares his passion for music and the unique process of incorporating an antique autoharp into the game's soundtrack.

We're incredibly grateful for your support and can't wait to see what adventures you have with Ember!

Game on,

TaSh
