Creating the dream Sodie Pop Rotation. Would you share a bottle with him?

The Sink Hole is home to lots of unsavory NPCs, and each one needs animation.

Furnishing the hand-drawn world of #Gnomad with thousands of sprite assets can really take it out of you. 

That's why we built a custom environment editor tool in @Unity.com that helps us manage thousands of sprites in every room.

Just make it exist first. You can make it good later.

Has computer science gone too far?? How do you feel about these aesthetic changes?

We've been hard at work adding squishy squashy moss (yum), swaying bushes, and 100% all natural bumpable grass to the world of #Gnomad

Are we cooking with this one?

Gnomad's bouncing-ball-combat lets players fight and platform at the same time.

Let us know what you think? We're always looking for new ideas.

Peek into the world of Gnomad. Gander at the full range of assets: everything from clean sketches, to rough sketches, to really rough sketches. It's all part of the process.

For #Gnomad, we like to alternate between small environmental puzzles and bouncing combat encounters, which creates a rhythm that keeps the flow of gameplay feeling fresh from room to room.

These are a few of the small puzzle segments we've been workshopping.

Here we can see some of the wildlife native to the undergrowth, a Gorb

While they might look friendly, they're far from it. Their size and shape makes them the perfect for tossing about, which could prove useful in the heat of battle

This is one of our old Gnomesteads

These backwater settlements are littered throughout the undergrowth. It may look sketchy, but to these folks it's home. Take a rest, have a drink, and meet some new friends.

Look forward to discovering what other Gnomesteads are in Gnomad!

Introducing our player!

While looking for his frog, he had a bit of a tumble and fell into the undergrowth, discovering a strange sappy world living just below the surface. If he wants to make it out, he's gotta work with the locals to find his frog and brave the dangerous wilds
