We are honing in on a visual style for our garden themed hidden object game. Here's a work in progress scene from the desert biome.

We use a few shaders to add papery texture to the objects, a blur around the mouse position and a heat haze for this specific biome.

I'm very happy about the map generator for Mega Drill. It churns out very varied and interesting maps and can be easily customized (adjust map size, how much mountains, water, population there is).

Here are a few random maps.

WIP style test for the new game. Going for a paper book look with fun transitions.

How does it look so far?

Added some better looking UI and started implementing some options the player can add to his drill.

Here you can see the mech mole quickly moving around gathering ores for the player. That's a very powerful tool!

Apart from Mega Drill, we also have this cute little hidden object game in early development.

What do you think?

Still very placeholder graphics but I improved the visuals of my Mega Drill maps:

- added cities of different sizes
- added forests
- changed the mountains (which were just brown flat colors before).

Next: making rivers look like something and adding roads between cities.

Mega Drill progress of the day: Player can now invest LITHIUM in tech research and GOLD in social engineering.

This triggers a selection of three random "cards" the player can choose from.
