During our absence, we worked on matching our sprites to the art style & created variations of things like the end screen. We couldn't have finalized the assets for the mini game without the team's feedback! Also, we finished our stress bar! Look!

We've begun working with the audio manager to add some responsive heartbeat sounds. We've also declared the amount of chances the player has in the mini-game, and added feedback for successful & failed attempts.

We’re coming to #BitSummit this weekend to meet friends AND let people know about our funding goal for releasing Terranova in three languages. 🇷🇺🇧🇷🇯🇵

We’re at 6% right now - spread the word and help us release!

An Afro Latina woman in a white top looks worried in front of a stepped white-grey-black background. Testing the background animation of the mini game intro sequence.

A black textured bar covers the screen horizontally with the word 'Breathe' on top, and a figure behind it is glitched in chroma and saturated colors, red, cyan, yellow, magenta, green, and blue. A variation mock up of the mini game intro sequence.

Three screenshots lined vertically of a figure with text in front of her face. "FAILED" in red in front of a shadowed stressed figure; "PERFECT" in white font, with a warm yellow rear light in front of a smiling figure; and "SUCCESS" with a white rear light and a gray shadow in front a pleased figure. Editing and testing different mini-game result screens based on feed back.

3 Different concepts for stress meters. The leftmost meter concept depicts a calm cyan figure, a worried yellow figure, and a stressed red figure below three vertical bars, each with progressively increasing rainbow gradients from cool to red. As stress increases, the figure will change expressions and the bar will fill. The rightmost meter concept features a vertical bar with an arrow tip on each end. With each mistake, the meter will fill with red, and the top arrow lights up red. When stress goes down, the bottom arrow will light up blue. The bottom concept features a black silhouette of protagonist Celia and will fill up with red as stress increases. Debating if her eyes and expressions on top interfere with the legibility of the meter or add just enough charm.

Hello! It’s us again, the Art Interns!
This week, we tweaked our mock ups based on the feedback we got from the team. We changed the result screens to make each more unique & impactful. As a side quest, we're exploring 3 new concepts for a stress meter!
Enjoy these pics~
