In White Week, farming and gathering is a pretty big deel if you don't want Roland to die of literally anything!
The reason why? It's a big part of my family's history :D here is a bit of my parent's harvest #farming #whiteweek #personnal

Illustration : in a meadow, two characters stand around in a science fiction type camp. A woman stands in front of a chemistry table while a young man, in the foreground, looks at the pot on a strange looking stove

You can now cook in the wild too! But... How does this stove even work?

Cases From the Murder Wagon - Theme 01 One of the main themes for the upcoming survival horror

I tried to make something that sounds really John Carpenter-ish for what could be the main theme of Murder Wagon, our upcoming coop survival horror. That was so much fun!

Poster of White Week, two characters stand in front of a bright blue light coming from the depths of the forest. Some objets seem to have been corrupted by something unknown.

Screenshot of the world. In a large meadow, Roland stands next to a strange rift. In front, Yuna is working on a futuristic computer.

Screenshot a battle. Yuna is fighting against a strange geometrical creature. The environment around it is corrupted.

Screenshot of a minigame. In a 1bit style, Yuna dodges the geometrical monster's projectiles.

I struggle not to "cutify" everything, since most of my illustration work is targeted toward a young audience. But we love a good contrast between substance and form!
You've seen recent screens so enjoy some really early tests :D #indierpg #notcottagecore #whiteweek

When creating White Week's world, we searched for a sweet spot between "cottage-core" "this forest is very creepy" and "the forest I knew as a kid".
We are not all the way yet, parts of the creepy aspect are still in development but we had a good time on Pinterest. #indiedev #moodboard #worlddesign

Visuals are a key aspect of White Week, creating a soft and warm atmosphere (at first). There are a lot of moving parts to get the perfect ambiance and we will be showing in more details soon!
Working in 2d has its challenges but as an illustrator, I couldn't be more happy!

Dev comic about the visual development of White Week : background : Roland walking around in a 2d playground in the forest. Text : White Week is a game created entirely with 2D illustrations. Whether it is our backgrounds objects or animation it is all hand drawn. it's a lot of fun, a lot of work and the result is we're worth it! Statement is not happy that we are making a post about the visual before again play that it's easier to show, sorry!

Image : an illustration of an egg sandwich and two pumpkins. A boy is drawn in 8 directions. Sarah hold her thumbs up but has an unconvinced smile. Text : for some it's obvious and easy. You're not going to need 50 version of a SANDWICH for the menu. But for others.. yes 8 directions, 8 frames per direction, no problem at all. Good thing the game doesn't have too many characters.

Text : it's a big learning curve for me, Sparo. I'm a press illustrator most of the time so I had to learn a lot about what it means to make game-ready assets but Steinman and I have a great dynamic going on now which we will share in the next of these devlog comics! There is really one last problem. Steinman says "Look at that! You even made the gun look cute." Illustration : Steinman and Sparo are looking at a cute gun Sparo drew.

Let's talk visuals :D

Character line up, illustration : Roland, a blond boy wearing a lime green polo and black short is speaking to his mother, a round woman with a long brown braid in a working blouse. The third character is the father, smiling broadly, dark blond hair and wearing a green and grey jumper. There is a hen and a chick at his feet.

A slow beginning...
