Three New Races for Earth Eternal Announced
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Mill Valley, CA, April 10, 2007 - Iron Realms Entertainment announced the results of its Pick-a-Beast contest in which fans could pick the 14th race for release. Finding it difficult to choose just one, Iron Realms announced that they'd choose three races, thus increasing the number of races at release from 13 to 16.
The new races will be the Anura (frog folk), the Tuskians (boar-people), and the Lisians (gecko people).
Matt Mihaly, lead designer on Earth Eternal, said of the contest, "We got hundreds of submissions ranging from the races of Beast that won to walrus-inspired people, swan-people, and more obscure animals such as mudskippers. I had a genuinely hard time deciding which to go with but chose these three because Boars just rock and I decided I'd like to have a couple Beast races inspired by amphibians and reptiles."
Concept art and production of the new races will begin in late April.
