Hello researchers!
We've been hard at work on the game and the community has been absolutely amazing in their playtesting feedback and involvement. Thanks to our wonderful members, we're excited to announce a new feature: Island Decoration! This feature is thanks to YOU.
Prototype sneak peak:
How the feature works:
Find and unlock item blueprints
Spend currency to buy decoration items (Currency can be earned in lots of ways, like quests, photo challenges, or just by finding it! Grandma's been known to leave loose change in couch cushions...)
Pretty simple, right? Here's the cool part: Photo challenges!
Jaime, our local art connoisseur, will be looking to sell your photos.
But he's not looking for just any photo, he needs a HOT photo. All items will have photo tags associated with them. Challenges will require you to take photos with trending HOT photo tags.
But wait, there's more!
Items aren't merely decoration. They may have an impact on the environment (like allowing you to access new locations) or the creatures (like getting that poor Octol the beach ball he's been searching for T_T).
Our amazing 3D modeler is going to town crafting the cutest most versatile decorations for you to customize the island in any way you want. And speaking of customization, another quick preview of the new character customizer scene:
Men avatars coming soon!
I'd just like to emphasize that we built the customization feature because of our discord community, so if you haven't joined yet, please do! Be a part of the development!
That's it for now. Back to the grind!
