Hello everyone, so this month we’ve been working on a couple things that aren’t ready to be shown off just yet. However we’d like to hear your thoughts on what we can share already.
Island Map
As Loddie, the main character, explores the island, she will sketch a map in her journal marking any points of interest. You will also be able to add stickers to make note of things like what lures or insects can be found theres them apples.
New Character Models and Animations
Along with reworking all the animations for Loddie to make them more readable for the high camera angle we added 3D models and animations for some of the NPC. Here are just a couple of them.
On the left is Terry having a look at a clipboard that has very important sciency stuff on it no doubt. And next to her is Nick looking dapper in his new chicken hoodie.
My personal favourite however might be the new animations for the sheep.
Concept Art
We are still designing new bugs to add to the game. What do you think of this concept art for a possible new bug? The blue winged variation is actually based on a real bug.
The real world counterpart for the blue winged stick bug is the “Metallic Stick Insect” (Achrioptera fallax). It looks so cool that it didn’t need that much tweaking to fit in the game.
That’s it for this month. We always love to get your feedback so keep it coming! As always you can reach us through our socials where we post updates regularly.
