Added progress bar to show what task is being performed. Animations aren't quite there yet 😉.

Placing an outpost to extend the player's vision range on the map!

Join the circuit!

I'm preparing for the next angle in the animation set for the main species in #arborlands. This is all 2D so I'm trying to be consistent from angle to angle without being too much of a perfectionist.

Showing the rough outline of the process for creating my first building's graphics.

Rough Lines -> Lines + Color + Highlights/Shades.

This is a simplified timeline of the process, it's not actually completely linear 😉.

The troop selectors allow you to pick a troop by profession. ⚒

If you zoom out to mapified mode, you can still see which player inhabits each land tile. 🟩🟨

You can send your main troop to inhabit a forest. After the troop establishes a local population, it can leave 🌿.

(population growth accelerated for dev purposes 😅)

Main coloring done on the side view. Still need to clean up some lines, add the secondary fur color, and add highlights/shading. 🎨🖌️

Animating sure is a lot of work!

Only two more angles to go!

That's right! Arborlands is being developed for online co-op play with up to 4 players! (as well as solo)

I'm going overboard placing outposts!! 🤪

Here's a work-in-progress preview of the new messenger outpost building! 📧

Right now, arborin troops will go around circuits forever 🔁

I will be adding fatigue features that will force them to need rest at some point, though! 😴
