Welcome to our fifth developer log, this time we'll be showing you guys more of the world you'll get to explore as the four members of The Grugs family!
As we mentioned previously, the world of the Grugs includes multiple different biomes, each with their own colour scheme, reoccuring motives, design elements, enemies and challenges and a unique boss at the end! The first of biome is the lovely, lush green hills. This place is dominated by greenery, tall grass, reeds, bushes, trees and many other organic features. This is due to the abundant fresh water that flows from the nearest mountaintop. Needless to say, the Grugs family was smart to build their home here, as it's a relatively peaceful and a safe area, however, occasionally raptors and pterodactyls do find their way into here, as there's plenty of food for them to find, make sure you don't become it!
The first four levels lead you from the home cave towards the source of the fresh waters, this shall prepare you for the challenges up ahead. The next levels take you towards the borders of the green hills, to the great lookout tree. From this tree, you can already see the next biome you'll be able to explore, but before you do so, there's a mysterious egg on the tree!
The Green Hills are Hector's favorite playground, as he grew up here and knows it like the palm of his hands. He's familiar with all of the dangers of this land, whether it be spikes, boulders, the flowing waters of the mountains or the stagnant pools of the swamps. What he's not familiar with is the occasional hungry dino that wanders into his homelands, but he can use the giant mushrooms that grow here to bounce away from them! If you're curious about how the green hills will look like in game, check out our third devlog, in which we show you how the art of the world has been developing.
Stay tuned for next weeks devlog, where we'll introduce you to the third playable character, Brat, the mischievous genius. Until then, enjoy this special look into how the map will potentially look like in game:
