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. #indiedev #indiegame #WholesomeGames #gamedev #GamedevShowcase

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

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!
