Status Update #2: Arcadia Concepts

What a glorious morning! It's been raining non-stop, creating the perfect mood for epic world building! But it's time I take a break and let you amazing people know what we've been up to.

World Building

Apocalypse Cow has not one, not four but three absolutely distinct worlds to explore and uncover their stories. Our main focus these past few months has been the world known as Arcadia. I don't want to spoil anything so I'll just say that every world is a rich continent split into many areas with deep lore. These are a couple of the concepts for an area in Arcadia called The Barrens.

Inhabitants

In tandem with each area we also work on its inhabitants. Through the course of this adventure you'll come across many different characters - some will help you, others will try to stop you. The Barrens specifically are inhabited by a race called Beerks. It's what we call a Digi-Primitive race. These were some of our initial concepts for them.

We saw potential with #4 (he kind-of resembles Star Wars, doesn't he?) but we kept pushing the digital aspect of his design, eventually creating a being with his own, unique identity.

At the end of this post you can see the actual in-game render in his hostile version. The universe we've been dreaming is slowly coming to life and the feeling is hard to describe. See you next time!
