Monthly Dev Log #16

Have you already kicked off the spooky season with a pumpkin-spiced treat? 🎃 At our office, the first pumpkin soup of the season is definitely overdue! 👻🧛

Here’s what we’ve been up to over the past month:

🎮 Gameplay

• Lukas is currently in Japan - he says it’s for gathering new inspiration, but he’s also posting a lot of claw machine pictures 🏗️🤔

🎨 Art

• Created new expressions for Milo ✨

• Designed additional environment and prop concepts (like statues and architecture) 🐦‍⬛

• Redesigned some of our tools (such as the compass and dividers) 🧭

• Finished the character design for a new adventure crew member and started working on her emotes

Meet Byte: She’s fluent in every language, adores animals, and can’t wait to set off on her very first adventure! 🤗

🖥️ Programming

• Started setting up a save game system

• Began implementing Steam achievements 🎖️

• Added a water barrier system (so you can’t swim off the map anymore 😅)

• Fixed a bunch of bugs

💬 Other

• Welcomed two new team members: Tabea (Art Intern) and Jorin (Programming Intern). We’re so happy you’ve joined our adventure! 🥰🤗

• Continued preparations for Polaris (which isn’t that far away anymore - will we see you there?)

Wishing you all a fantastic weekend! 🍂🎃🍁
