Ride the train. See where it goes.

First #conceptart of Drasus to last version. A knight in mismatched but very shiny armor!

#fantasyart #rpg #jrpg #indiegame #indiegamedev

From #conceptart to final version! Zemlja looks skeptical. Are you? 😉

Working on skill trees UI! Artist is fretting but I'm 😍😍😍.

The team, during a meeting: We'll need a cursor too, eventually.
The artist: I did it while you were talking about it.
The team: 😮😍

Danger chicken. Except not chicken-sized.

The Hollow Core is a world within our own - where all the tales told over fires are real. Gather fellow Adventurers, meet Bigfoot, and defeat monsters while a greater threat lurks in the dark ...

The player's weapon. I don't know how our artist makes such cool weapons!! Not taking bets on him insisting on redrawing it at some point though. 🙃

Making an indie game starts with dreaming. I doubt we'll ever get to these additional NPCs, but I still love them with all my heart. ❤️

These two. Driven and focused meets curious and ditzy. Their skills compliment one another, with Komi being a combat driven Adventurer, and Zemlja being a healing-focused herbalist, but you might have to put out a few fires to get there.

Could YOU mediate this fight?

The gameplay is shaping up! Decide where to go, track your morale, and go on an adventure in the Hollow Core.

The slimesea biome is one gigantic amoeba ... with leviathans swimming through it. Be careful of drips! Slimesea water needs a good boil before it's edible. 😉

Zemlja is slightly terrified of most things. But with floating gigantic eyeballs, fog that wants to eat your soul, and dinosaurs roaming for food, wouldn't you be?

#indiegame #conceptart #fantasyart #jrpg #rpg #indiegamedev

The artist makes art, and I make stories to go along with it!

In this case, whatever you do, do not tell Bigfood (Bigfoot) that this is his relative. He is not amused. He is judging you right now.

#conceptart #fantasyart #indiedev #indiegame #jrpg #rpg

Facial expressions are important! I love this one by our artist. I've got it as confused-cute in our twine stories. It fits ditzy and strangely wise Zemlja perfectly!

#conceptart #indiedev #indiegame #jrpg #rpg #gamergirl

Other Shadow creatures you may encounter as you travel the Hollow Core. I particularly like the giant eyeball - we've already got an encounter for that one!

#indiedev #indiegame #horrorart #fantasyart #jrpg #rpg #conceptart

The Shadow Train biome is both unique and potentially useful - and dangerous. Hop on a train and you may arrive early ... or days late. Or walk down the train tracks and find one of these!

This is the perfect mix of classic art and modern whimsy. 😍

Thank you! We are so thrilled with our wonderful artist.

Thank you! 🥰

We now have a Discord! discord.gg/Dn6CK5qC

Go tell our artist this looks fantastic because he keeps not believing us. 🫡

Female protagonist! We have more artwork for the male version of the player character right now, but we really want to have a female version for people to choose, too. I think she looks great!

#indiedev #indiegame #conceptart #fantasyart #rpg #jrpg #gamergirl

The Lord of the Forest is a unique encounter. If you are wise, you won't attack ... because you won't win. If you are wise, perhaps he can give you some sage advice!

#indiedev #indiegame #conceptart #fantasyart #rpg #jrpg

We're debating having creature cards, like #Grounded did. Collecting them was fun!

#jrpg #rpg #conceptart #indiedev #indiegame

If we are really, really lucky, we'd like to add some additional NPCs. Maybe just for talking, maybe for adventuring ... But each one is a ton of work! Additional dialogue threads, combat sprites ... 😱

#indiedev #indiegame #fantasyart #jrpg #rpg

Our artist was determining how easy it would be to draw a centipede. Obviously, not a very nice one. 😉
