Say hello to our latest NPC for the upcoming Wheat and Wrath game. Heliana is the prophet of the Life Goddess. She performs the Ritual of Life in which she weaves straw into a new villager. #characterconcept #indiegame #indiegamedev

A feature of Wheat and Wrath will be trading for technology, reflecting the way tech and knowledge was historically often transmitted through trade networks. There are no domesticated animals here so the straw people have to do the pulling. #3dcharacter #indiegamedev #ue5 #unrealengine

This poor villager is begging the raider not to take away his straw. If he had prayed more to the War God, he wouldn’t be in this situation. #3dcharacter #indiegame #gamedev #ue5 #unrealengine #wheatandwrath

The god of war and death is a living flame rising from a sacrificial pyre. The Wrath Infernal is enrobed and crowned in flames, with three fiery eyes representing life, death and sacrifice. #conceptart by Jacqueline Manherz #indiegame #wheatandwrath

Character concept for The Raider. Why would they grow their own wheat when they could steal yours? Follow us for more on the upcoming Wheat and Wrath strategy game. #indiegame #indiegamedev #conceptart #wheatandwrath

In a magical world of straw people, they need a constant supply of wheat to re-stuff their bodies. Some farm their own wheat - others raid and steal it from the farmers. These are the Raiders. And here is some of the early #conceptart ideas. Which one is your favorite?

Recently, we've been storyboarding a core gameplay loop for Wheat and Wrath, something that will help direct development. We wanted to show it off!

Everything begins with Wheat. Grow food → feed your villagers → free up workers.

More #conceptart for Wheat and Wrath is here! These rough sketches are of potential prophets to the god of harvest, who we are calling Plow Fathers. They all look very mysterious, but 5 is our favourite so far. What do you think?

The #conceptart keeps rolling in for Wheat and Wrath! Check out these amazingly whacky rough sketches for the scarecrow villager homes. We love 2, 3, 4, and 6 - with the idea that these folks like to live in round homes. It makes them feel cozy. What do you think?

Here's the final concept of our Woven straw villager who you will be managing in Wheat and Wrath and I think it looks amazing.

Only problem, we still don’t have a name for our character.
Any ideas for a name?👇 I’d love to hear them.
