With the new goblin classes joining our adventure, we expanded the lair with new guild rooms to welcome the Mystic, Hunter, and Bandit classes.
Building these guild rooms is necessary so your goblins can switch classes. Later on in the game, you will be able to upgrade these guild rooms to unlock new abilities for your goblins. Each room can be upgraded up to 3 times with each tier unlocking new abilities. Let’s take a look at the concept art for the guild room’s tier progression. Our sample image below is from the Mystic guild room.
We designed thematic rooms where your goblins can train and hang out after a day-long adventure in the wild. The colors and theme of each room are based on the dominant colors found in the costumes of each goblin class. Props are added that fit the class's theme and aesthetics.
For example, the Mystic guild room features magical props such as crystals, magic circles, and caged fireballs. Spend a bit of time in the Mystic guild room and you’ll find a scholastic goblin engrossed in a spellbook.
The Bandit room’s design on the other hand was inspired by pirate taverns and old pioneer wagons. The room is built from wood and decorated with barrel tables and wagon wheel ornaments to give off a rustic appearance. A perfect hideout for the Bandits to plan out their strategies.
And finally, the Hunter guild room where the Hunters show off their trophy hunts. This nature-themed room is filled with ornaments made out of everything and anything a goblin could gather from the wild such as twigs, bones, and animal skins.
Designing the Guild Rooms
During the designing stage of the concept art, we also considered points such as the scaling of the furniture and props compared to the height of the goblins and its functionality.
An interesting tidbit, our artists used the goblin class icons as the centerpiece for every guild room.
After conceptualizing the design for the guild rooms, our 3D artist will use the concept art as a basis for modeling the final look of each guild room. It is still a work in progress, but here’s a sneak peek of the 3D models.
