🌲Arborlands🌳

I thought they were giant cherry blossom trees at first! 😄

So cool! I especially like the snowy map ❄️

Waiting intensifies!

Spot the critter!

So cool! This has a real clay animation vibe to it!

Let’s see it! 😆

Awww, weirdly adorable! 🥺🤔

Pencil sketches of some rocks.

Gamedev sketchbook: just some rocks...

Ooh, Key! Let me scoop that up! 🗝️

That's hello four times to you, Yuronk!

A picture of a game's user interface. Below the word "amenities" there are four buttons that all have the word "hello" above them.

Welp... at least the amenities are friendly...

(Just placeholder buttons for actual future amenities)

Prepping the arborin #animation to be added as an animated #sprite in the game.

The dark outlines really make the objects pop, nice effect!

Thanks! I appreciate that! 😄

Yes! 🌱

So, there was this forest once... 🌳🌳🌳

Back to #animation! Starting with a wireframe that covers the range of motion. I'm doing some fine-tuning to make sure it looks right. 👀

Two animals in a forest. They are at the base of a tree, looking up into the canopy.

Developer's Sketchbook: I love the idea of animals exploring the world around them. Maybe for food, maybe for shelter, maybe sometimes for pure curiosity... ✨

I got Dredge in the fall. It was a lot of fun! It’s the only game I’ve ever unlocked all achievements for in Steam. ⛴️

Thanks! 😄

Working through the creation of a new troop type... 🐒

Clever, clever… 😏

Two animals side-by-side. On the left, a grazer: a large, four-legged animal with antlers. On the right, an arborin, about a quarter of the grazer's size, it has a long body with short legs.

Size comparison between a grazer and an arborin.

Thanks! Gotta love a nice resting spot 🌴

Found a spring! 💧

Really wonderful character animations! Very whimsical!

Three sketches of fictional animals. The top two are of a gliding scavenger similar to a vulture. The bottom sketch is of a four-legged animal with a short and thick beak and intelligent-looking eyes.

#gamedev sketchbook entry:
Here are some concept sketches for two other #animal species in the world of Arborlands.

The bird is a gliding scavenger. The four-legged one is an apex terrestrial/arboreal predator filling a niche somewhere between lion and leopard.
