Hello Rafters!
February is coming to an end, sun is starting to show its face again, and it is time for this month’s devblog. February has been full of snow and slippery walks to the grocery store, yet this does not stop us from working on the next chapter! We have our blankets, tea, and the most crucial motivation tools of them all, pet pictures and your support!
(Here is one of our artists, Felicia, and her cat Samus. She also has another cat named Zelda!)
We have made a good deal of progress this month regarding the new destinations and the new features. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to show many sneak peeks of them just yet. What we can show, however, is the attack animations of the new enemy! Oh, and let’s not forget they officially have a name now:
SCUTTLERS
Last week, we asked for your help naming the new enemy and got 4500+ suggestions combined on all our social media. Going through all of them, we picked one of the most suggested names; Scuttlers!
Some other ideas we liked were; Crawlers, Pinchers, and Grublings.
Thanks to all Rafters who shared their ideas with us and helped us with this process.
Here are a few of many “Scuttler” suggestions:
Now, let us show you some more Scuttlers action. One of our artists and also our CEO, André, has been working on the attack animations for these creatures, among other concepts and features. Have a look!
JUICER
Do you remember the juicer concept we shared in DevBlog43 ?
Now we have a finished 3D model of it. Our artists Petter and William have collaborated, bringing this machine to life. William was the name behind the concept art, and Petter worked with the 3D modelling and got the Juicer to its finished form.
Thanks for another month full of Raft!
Before we end our blog for this month, we just want to mention that there is no estimated arrival date for the next chapter yet. We know you are wondering about it, but it is too early for us to say. Don’t worry! We will continue to update you on what we are working on and keep you in the loop.
Thanks for another month of Raft and talk to you again next month.
Have a great weekend, Rafters!
