Development progress

Hold on for a second

It's been several months since the last announcement, my apologies. Health has been delicated this year and affected the development due to the pandemic, but things are getting back to normal. Alright, enough chit chat, let me show you just a little bit, lets go!

Character stuff

After the last announcement I started working on the world, which looked too cartoony and it was too shiny. So I gave it a more stylized style which looks quite interesting, but the character just didn't fit. Let me introduce you... uh, let's call her Hannah to say something.

She's the new and hopefully last character iteration for the game. To avoid extra iterations and useless work, I just made the female version of the character until I reach the first playable alpha milestone. So yes, just women in the game for now, I'm still learning art and I'm a bit slow on it yet. The male version will be done lately.

This new character iteration includes cool things, such as face expressions, configurable skins and eyes, and even body parts. So yes, this means in-game character editor, better than the last one I hope!

For the first version, a very limited set of clothes and hairstyles will be present, which will get larger as development goes further.

The world

This part is getting a new art style too, so the screenshots you will see are not even close to be finished. You can note the lack of grass and other stuff that are on the work right now.

The world will have biomes, which might be quite different of what you may expect of a survival game. The land is infected and everything is changing, weird stuff happens.

So far just a bit of two classic biomes are half implemented. Also I'm working of sub aquatic exploration biomes.

The world is going to be huge. Actually right now is infinite, but I'm trying to limit it for a better gameplay design, but still huge.

Just take a look to a portion of the world map (raw pixel render, very WIP)

Looking too small? This piece of map is equal to 10404 km2. Don't worry, you will have vehicles available to explore it. And also expect more biomes to be present, of course!

More stuff

Of course, there's more stuff done and being done but not ready to show. More will follow hopefully soon. Stay safe and healthy, cheers!
