Hello soon-to-be-cartographers,
Have you already kicked off the spooky season with a pumpkin-spiced treat? 🎃 At our office, the first pumpkin soup of the season is definitely overdue! 👻🧛
Here’s what we’ve been up to over the past month:
🎮 Gameplay
Lukas is currently in Japan - he says it’s for gathering new inspiration, but he’s also posting a lot of claw machine pictures 🏗️🤔
🎨 Art
Created new expressions for Milo ✨
Designed additional environment and prop concepts (like statues and architecture) 🐦⬛
Redesigned some of our tools (such as the compass and dividers) 🧭
Finished the character design for a new adventure crew member and started working on her emotes
Meet Byte: She’s fluent in every language, adores animals, and can’t wait to set off on her very first adventure! 🤗
🖥️ Programming
Started setting up a save game system
Began implementing Steam achievements 🎖️
Added a water barrier system (so you can’t swim off the map anymore 😅)
Fixed a bunch of bugs
💬 Other
Welcomed two new team members: Tabea (Art Intern) and Jorin (Programming Intern). We’re so happy you’ve joined our adventure! 🥰🤗
Continued preparations for Polaris (which isn’t that far away anymore - will we see you there?)
Wishing you all a fantastic weekend! 🍂🎃🍁
