S O L E N I A ▪by Sebastien Dujardin and with art from Vincent Dutrait ▪Published by Pearl Games ☁️ Sebastien did not design that many games, but the one's he has are some of the best out there. Troyes and Deus stand out and his Black Angel title coming hopefully 2019 looks like a potential big hitter.☁️ Vincent and his artwork don't really need any introduction and is one of the most talented artist working in the industry currently. ☁️ Pearl Games has a lot of overlap with Sebastien his situation, not that many releases, but some very big ones in their portfolio nonetheless. How about one of the most wanted OOP titles out there Ginkgopolis? The very clever Bruxelles 1893? Or last year's deep sea dive adventures in Otys?☁️ #solenia #pearlgames #sebastiendujardin #vincentdutrait
