Empyrean 2D’s life at EA2D

Friday, April 15th, 2011 posted by PANDA

During this semester, Empyrean 2D team is really lucky to work at the place of their client – EA2D. This kind of unique experience is really valuable to the team and also to ETC.

Working so closely with the client, we gained a lot that can’t be gained by other teams. Firstly, weekly meeting with the client is more flexible, whenever we have a new idea and make some progress, we can directly show to our client without waiting for a long time. Also, meeting with our client directly in person makes the communication more smooth and we get a lot of valuable information and suggestion. What’s more, directly sitting besides the EA2D team brings more opportunity of communicate with the smart guys on the team. Whenever we have some tech issue, we can directly go for help, which is really helpful to the team.

In addition, we are also invited to their weekly event: Beer Friday to hang out with the team. This also gives us a chance to show our progress to the whole team and get a lot of valuable feedback.

Doing project at EA2D not only brings us a good relationship with our client, but also improves the whole production process.

Empyrean Team

The Battle Continues On!

Empyrean 2D is an ETC project team that is working with EA studio EA2D to build a game that closely integrates with their latest title Dragon Age Legends.  EA2D’s goal is to create connected and social games for gamers and Dragon Age Legends is just the latest in a line of games that have been developed for mobile and social platforms such as Facebook and mobile platforms.

This is EA’s second collaboration with an ETC project team and they have set the bar high. EA2D has asked the Empyrean 2D team to develop a game that connects to Dragon Age Legends which would enhance the gameplay experience for the players who play both games.  This game will initially be developed for the iPad with an eye towards extending it to other tablet platforms such as google’s upcoming android based tablet.  Our goal for this semester is to deliver to EA2D a fully functional and connected game that is ready for release to the general public.
