Spring cleaning!

By May 3, 2021No Comments

As the effort on backgrounds continues, a great part of the village is in game now. You’ll soon be able to finally find and talk to the chieftain as the dialogues that involve him are completed and ready for implementation in Unity. We have new tracks, and many, many, many new assets to enrich the environment and delve deeper in the jungle. Behind the scenes, the code is being polished, the rigs inner workings are also being polished, and we’re working with several new animators to help us tackle Vanlen’s many scenes. We may end up in a situation where several sequences will be ready at once. Fingers crossed!

  • Several new hands for the Lizardman 3/4f model:
