Skyline, Player House, Bins and Map: Week #11
Added 2020-09-05 15:00:26 +0000 UTCTerry is here!
This week we have been working on a couple of things. Heiva finished the new banner that is now on our website, Patreon, and also Discord banner. I'm currently in progress on applying for a Discord partnership and hopefully it get's approved soon! This will give us a Discord logo thingie and also a vanity URL so we feel better about ourselves D:
Here is also a WIP world map (unfinished) Michel is working on. More shading and assets/details needed. Adjustments will be made to this substantially both from an artistic and gameplay standpoint. However, 80% of those buildings are already in the game (gameplay, art still needs improvement though) so it represents well how the game will look structrually. Chinatown and also the River Thames skyline will be added as a major update later. This map is representative of how London looks in general so I hope you all live the vibe :3
Tina is working on the bins and also a lot of new assets. Here's a WIP screenshot of where we are. Garbage men will come to collect your stuff every few days and also garbage from the NPCs. This will make the game feel alive and represent exactly what happens in London (and also the UK!)
The bin set WIP shows some different kind of bins. The players wardrobe will not be infinitely big. You can buy more wardrobes but there may be old sets you don't want anymore, especially since colour wheel means you may want to own multiples of the same clothing in different colours. There will be recycling bins for clothing. The art however feels a bit flat on the bin so, it will need rework I think.
Finally, there's the player house. You can see the reworked UIs as I wasn't happy with the legacy work as well as reworked art. This is much closer to a finished product as the old stuff felt incomplete. This was already posted on Twitter and Instagram etc.
PS - I finally made a facebook page. It's ded thou. I dunno am I asking for attention? Not sure... like it anyway!
Terry needs to eat now because he hasn't had breakfast yet D:

It would be a huge pain to have to walk home to go to the toilet every time when you're studying... D:

2020-09-09 17:58:37 +0000 UTCI absolutely love the layout and map design, stunning! Plus, the colour palette is so soft and cute too. I am curious as to whether any of the characters or areas will show the cultural differences of the UK? such as, Northern characters, Irish, Scottish, Welsh and 1st generation migrants too - highlighting the bustle and vibrancy of the capital's population. Cheers :3
