Changed my camera to orthographic, and it actually looks kinda cool? Idk if I'll use it but it's fun to see the game a different way

Here's a couple behind-the-scene views you will never see in-game. I really love the isometric view, would be fun to maybe re-visit this game as like a third person city builder or something.

Still ramping up towards the demo, working on a new trailer for it along with re-working the game loop after feedback from CIGS. Took catalog of all characters made for the game so far today, here they are.

I had fun messing about with Dock King at CIGS yesterday.The tall stacking and delivering mechanics will lead to shenanigans all over this town of wacky characters.

Ready for #CIGS (IYKYK) with some freshly printed stickers, our fantastic parrot printed out large, a new character added to the game by our artist Bernardo, and a fresh new build of the game v0.50!!

Contracted the talented fernandobravan to make this fantastic capsule art. You can see the progress from the image I first sent him to the final art. (Thank god I can afford to hire an artist and don't have to use the first one)

Pixel art of a large amount of skeletons, ranging from some wielding large weapons to magic. Text reads "Wurm Fud" in the corners.

My dream is to get to this level of quality across all disciplines one day (or find somebody like Tiani has to balance out the disciplines I'm not good at)

Old one for sure - not sure what the advantage is of the new one. Maybe you can "highlight" who is speaking better if that's the worry.
