The Hideout from Relooted. Featuring an old 20th century water tower with colourful patterns painted around it. Also some infamous hadedas are roosting on it.

Cool! Oh fun fact, the Hideout is one of the IRL water towers in Joburg. We couple of these specific ones around the area.

Here are some cool #Relooted Concept-art, I did for the game's cinematics.

These helped a lot in knowing the colors and lighting we needed for the cut-scenes to work.

Relooted is a great game! My daughter LOVES it and that’s an absolute win. She’s 4 and see loves the loop of this game and I get to enjoy the history of some of the artifacts and the way it makes me feel to steal them. :)

From Cape Town to Johannesburg, even bringing together devs from Ghana and beyond, we are now speaking with @nyamakop.co.za about developing their recently released title RELOOTED!

Thank you to Charlene Lebrun from @mooncat.games for managing to ask @nyamakop.co.za in the middle of their promotional campaign so that I could share some concept art from this fresh afrofuturist game. πŸ™

I was watching Kinda Funny today and Man.. Hearing this means so much! To hear that some one gets it, they saw the vision!

Every emotion hit me at once😭😭 and It all matters at the end the end of the day.

I hope everyone is enjoying #Relooted.

We're working on new types of excavation mini-games and I looove watching those videos of fossil hunters nodule cracking, it's so satisfying!!! so, we had to add it to FQ. It stilll needs some polish and juice and the exciting reveal at the end when it cracks open but its coming along πŸ™ƒ

This joke is just for me πŸ˜…

The number of times I see similar WORLDWIDE release times graphics just have Africa dark and unmarked in the centre is wild

I get that most of the revenue doesn’t come from the continent but still a wild thing to see continuously πŸ₯²

We've finally said farewell and good riddance to "X" and to our 10K followers β€” many of whom are Excellent People. I wish we'd left sooner, and I hope other studios + creatives do the same. It's a deeply toxic place, and we need to build better communities, if we hope to turn the tide.
