We are still working away & been spending some time on 'Big Brain' thinking & are super excited to share some of the work we have been planning out soon...
Fool King Concept Art
We are back from our Christmas break and are excited to keep working away on Fool King!
First things, first though, more goblins!
A little winter scene with a Loot Donkey.
That’s all from Loot Donkey for 2025 folks. We will see you in 2026 with more Fool King.
We hope you all have a great Christmas!

Ghost chaps
Good point!
These are just the start however as I set up the structure for the files and more ‘fancy’ ones are coming…
(Slight spoiler)
Liveries for the units in Fool King
Skins are coming!
What colour schemes shall I do next?
Yup exactly that! I find it a really nice workflow.

You too!
(Although it will be Ben as I (Gareth) am stuck in the cold damp UK 🥲)
We are going to be at @playtopia.bsky.social this week and holding a Fool King tournament!
There may even be a prize for whoever can retain the throne...

Thanks! & yeh all of the units are now gonna be sprites as well as some of the environment dressing.
We really liked the direction of the portraits from the first build and wanted to lean into that as is a strength of @spudonkey.bsky.social & means we can hopefully get more juice and character
Converting some more skelebobs, get some interesting half way stage ones 😄
