Hello everyone! I have a small (medium size?) devlog to share with you, I also have some information about a small sale coming up early next month to celebrate Pride, but lets start with report on the progress itself :3 On to progress report; ENEMIES First pass is basically complete internally; you

Intro cinematics work and set up. Character’s are just placeholders, and are missing materials and clothes, poses, and such. Player is also the monster with all the ears and horns xD This is from the hunter background intro. All the backgrounds have their own mid section for the intro. There’s basic

Some raw animations on the three upcoming guns ^^ Pathfinder; It’s heavy with way too big caliber, so it has a lot of kickback, and A LOT OF BOOM. The jiggles are not in the raw animation itself, but you can imagine some of the body parts jiggling and the ears flopping about cutely :3 Animation is l

You may ask…. what is that thing? Glad you asked! That’s an animation rig. It is basically used to animate characters. The weird stripped mesh that have very visible facets is my skinning guidelines ^^ Here’s a pose test with the rig. All the rings and circles and such of different colors are differ

Saardan’s main town (ignore the bright spots, some weird graphics glitch in editor xD) Tiny drydock of sorts ^^ Random pretty nook :3 Lots of desert in the distance. Very Saardan view honestly x) Along the desert there are a few oases with camps in them, another place to meet characters in besides t

Near Iskaai and Herlstead while on sailing map ^^ There’s a reason we start with this image, and the reason is that it looks really nice. That’s it! I mean, it also shows a few things I want to write about :3 First of all is probably the most apparent thing; The two big lines starting with “to” and

Above is a screenshot of progress on Saardan’s “main” biome, kinda a mix between savannah and a desert ^^ A spiky biome is visible behind the trees and other plants, and red deep desert further away. The “spiky tooth” biome that was visible in the screenshot before ^^ Random view that looks nice ^^

(edit: Looks like Patreon no longer supports linking images... xD) Above is a zoomed up (down?) view on the sailing map of the Skiia. There will be some additional guis for the Kirhaal name tag and some other things likely too, and the ship is visually static, but getting there ^^ Zoomed out by Iska

Iskaai is a smallish island further north from Skiia. Slightly colder in climate, and quite a bit dryer island in comparison, but it is the home to the Heev, the primary hare species on Skiir :3 The main town-... err, village-... I mean, hamlet, of sorts, on the island is called Herlstead. It is rea

(above) Overworld sailing map tests :3 There’s still much to set up visually + some GUI to mark the ports, but the basic ideas are there; points of interests to explore (sunken ship top right), floating treasure (mid right, super realistic), shoals that slow you down (the lighter spots). Most of the

All aboard the loveship! The next build will have a first pass of ship decorations. The first pass basically just means that the ship is *decorated*, but we want to make some nicer assets for some places and add more things later on (like we do with islands too) ^^ Tour ahoy, from bow to aft, and, w

Above is a concept for the next island we’re working on (still far in future), and it’ll be a desert island named as Saardan, some ways to the south-west from Kizan ^^ Saardan, like with Kizan, will introduce a new species; The hares. Though in case of Saardan the new prey will be a Saardan subspeci

NOTE: Everything in this Snippet are *VERY MUCH* work in progress visually and gameplay wise here. Raw raw raw gifs in essence, so pay that in mind while reading and watching gifs <3 The gif above showcases a simple AI that is following a ship and is trying to shoot at the ship it is chasing ^^ Basi

Ability to place custom spawners is showcased above; Basically modders can replicate our basic spawners to add more spawners in-game to add more prey in specific places, or for example add specific spawners that add their custom prey in-game as something that spawns only in a specific spot ^^ Abilit

Above are two images with 25 (not necessarily fully in screen) characters with basically nothing special in them. Just character meshes, posed, casting shadows, some little bit of shading, basic faelain default texture and material. The scene basically has nothing to it except a single directional l

Lil progress report coming up! Been a while since the last Snippet, not because work isn’t done or that development isn’t progressing, but because “end stages” of each build is largely just setting things up and it’s not a very visual process. So there isn’t much visibly new to show and screenshots

Onfe’s been busy designing and painting us some new GUI things for the future; First of which is the logbook (above, the base template for different pages). The basic idea is that your logbook is your management AND information tool with a lot of things crammed in that you can browse, read, and mana

It is misty at the top, spooky jungle below! Still very much WIP, lighting is largely similar to Skiia still, so the overall mood will go through many changes before it is “visitable” in-game ^^ The jungle itself is far below the sea level and there’s massive waterfalls all around the island. Massiv

Well, to be honest, six means gunplay improvements right now! Above you can see some of the basic changes; - The firing animation is now (well, next patch!) a lot less “kicky” so that it doesn’t ruin your second shot as easily. - The smoke from firing no longer obscures your vision nearly as badly;

I was doing something completely different when I suddenly noticed the perfect placement of windows xD (Also if you look closely, you may spot something upcoming, not in this release though, spooky) Fleet-Admiral Horveek’s Dragonfire fleet jacket. It is a variation of the stylish admiral jacket in g
