Caw, flock!
We wanted to take a moment and show a bit of how the game currently looks and talk about it. Below, you can find a few screenshots - all taken from the game itself - completely in-game (some are from cut-scenes and some are game-play).
In case you were following the game for the past years or so on Patreon, you can see we pretty much re-did the whole graphics for the game and now it looks much better! At least we hope so! But... we want to hear your thoughts! As you can see, this is taking it pretty far from the original prototype we posted.
While we are aiming for a realistic game and feel, we are still an indie studio, so we need to find that line between what we want and what is possible to make with our budgets and small team, and solve the difference artistically. We would say that we are pretty proud of how this is shaping to look. We feel (as far as references go) that the graphics feel a bit like a darker and less stylized version of "Life is Strange", and we must say we like it. Hope you will as well!
We would be happy to hear what you guys think. Walking on the line between "artistic" and yet "realistic" is not an easy task and we'd love you hear from you where you feel the graphics is good/cool and where is can still use some improvement and tips on how to improve it (without going AAA quality).
Are there any screenshots here you like in particular? Any screenshots you don't like? What do you think about the art direction? Basically.. would love to hear any thoughts you guys might have!
