🎉 It's Heaven's Vault's 7th birthday today! 🎉
To celebrate we're sharing a first look at the next Heaven's Vault-related release from us the fourth (and final) book in the novellisation sequence.
Here's the gorgeous cover, with art from @anastasiawyatt.bsky.social and design by @joe.inkle.co
I started 2 books in the time it took this to arrive and now I am reading too many things, help

You mean you DON'T want to know about how someone put jam on their toast -before- the butter and what it subsequently taught them about communicating with clients in a high pressure agile sales environment?
A page of text posted from a WIP book. (Truncated to fit alt text.) Some day there will be a tree, with its roots planted deep into the fundament, that will grow as tall as the sky. Many trees will have come before it to allow it to grow so tall. Many lesser trees will have fallen and rotten to a pulp to feed its roots. Many creatures, perhaps all the creatures there are, will live and die and dream amongst its spreading branches. But one day, there will be such a tree — there must — and it will be as wide in canopy as it is in height, and when the strong wind blows the seeds will be carried further and beyond the horizon’s jealous imagination. Most of these seeds will fall on bare stone, or sink into the waters of the Old Sea where nothing can live and time itself does not pass. But should even one seed ever land on true soil it will take root, and should even one sapling grow, it will bud into leaf, and should even one seedpod bear fruit on this new tree then the old tree will live again, in this new place, leagues from where it began. And this new tree will know everything that was known by the old, in its bones, and it will be made from the sum of everything that came and went before and allowed that old tree to grow so tall. Thus, in this fashion, it can be said that trees can walk: down from the mountain and into the valley, out of the forest and onto the shore, and even, given enough time, across the vast reaches of the Old Sea itself.
The next book from @inkle.co will be:
Heaven's Vault - Book IV: The Rising Light
Conclusing a story that began in 2014 as two words (Space Archaeology), grew through a 2019 game into a novel duology, and will finish as a quadrilogy of books.
It is the tree, walking.

Hey, I had a look at your folio on Behance and I'm not seeing what I need I'm afraid. Thanks for replying though, all the best
I'm actually not sure, we were all out looking and then it went quiet. I will check tomorrow! Thanks for the folio link! 👀
All those things are important! 😄 I had a look at your folio, thank you, and while I did say generalist I feel you're a bit tooooo focussed on 2D and character stuff for me. Appreciate you taking the time to reply though 😊
Hi! Had a look at your folio but it's too character/2D focussed for me. Thanks for messaging though!
Had a look and there's some cool stuff but it's a bit too character/2D/other things focussed for me. All the best though :)
Had a look at your folio and it's a bit too character and 2D focussed for me. Best wishes though!
Thanks for replying, had a look thank you but not quite what I'm after! Some of your stuff is really cool though 🔥
A pile of three Crystal Heart books laid on a white surface topped by another standing one. There's a couple of fake plants for atmosphere!
The first page of the Crystal Heart comic, featuring the pitch for the setting, and a group of players eager to play. The bottom panel shows a tabletop with some dice and a character sheet, and reads "Crystal Heart - Chapter 1: Wild at Heart"
Crystal Heart chapter 1 page 8, showing our heroes facing off against an opponent for the first time, as Nadav explains how drawing initiative cards works in Savage Worlds. Muna fails on Persuasion, Mac activates his armor power, and Raf fails on a stealth roll (the panel shows a crouched butt peeking out from behind some shrubbery).
Do you run a comics review website and I haven't sent you a review copy of #CrystalHeart? Please let me know and I'll throw one in your inbox so fast it'll rip a hole in the digital time-space continuum.
(sharing is highly appreciated!)
Both 👀 Need an all-rounder
3D, stylised realism, can't say too much more sorry 🙏
3D, stylised realism, and that's probably about as much as I can say openly 🙏
For a game, possibly 5 months, can't share too much more without paperwork I'm afraid! I had a look at your portfolio and you've got a ton of awesome stuff 💜 it's not the right vibe for what I'm after unfortunately 😔
I need a freelance environment artist/generalist who is proficient with Blender and Unity and available to work! Preferably who can work mostly aligned with GMT. No graduates please (sorry), I need someone with professional experience 🙏 #gamedev #gamedevjobs #environmentart
AMEN
It took me way too long to remember there's a 4th disc because there was a 4th film.. which I have actually seen 😬
NEW GAME by one of the best and most loveliest teams ever. Snap this up, they never cease to churn out something that isn't casually groundbreaking in some way or other🔥
