As you may know, Unity found a security issue with their builds - meaning I've spent the last two work days updating the engine.

Patch is live now!

As a Swede, it's hard not to be inspired by the works of John Bauer. So, early in the development of KreatureKind, I told my artist "I would like a John Bauer troll, that is also an online troll".

I think she did a great job, how about you? 😊

In the latest KreatureKind update, cards have a more clear description using icons and fewer words. A guide also pops out when you hover the cards, which can be turned off with the 🔍 if you prefer!

One day I will understand why people go out of their way to post reviews like this, but it is not this day. Just cringe tbh 🤷

I've always been open with how much I'm happy to hear feedback and improve the game accordingly, but good faith never laid eyes on this post.

While I'm still committed to keep working on KreatureKind and release more updates, I've spent some time this summer on a new prototype 🤫

Super duper early concept still but, what are y'alls opinions on bees, beekeeping and mead? 🤔🐝

The haters have gotten in the reviews now.
Here's a gentle reminder that if you like a game, don't forget to review. It really helps 🙏💜

I'm playing around with a new design for the cards in KreatureKind, to make them easier to read and also help with grammar in other languages than English.

What do you think?

One of the most unique opponents in KreatureKind is the Doppelganger, because they take on the visuals of whoever is in the middle slot of your party which means I had to give them unique code ✨

Have you met them yet?

Hair, textiles etc in KreatureKind are given life with shaders, primarily relying on a package called "AllIn1SpriteShader". For example, Riley's hair has a bit of a wave and a warp distortion to it 🌬️👩‍🦱

Due to getting in the crosshairs of a youtube video, my comments on YouTube and Steam look like this right now. It's honestly just sad that people spend so much time being angry on the internet 🤷 (and objectuvely wrong - zero tax dollars was spent on KreatureKind bro 😂)

I'm getting positve feedback on the animations in KreatureKind, and it makes me so grateful and happy 🙈

They could not be more basic - I'm using Unity's built-in animation system, with characters' body parts parented to each other. Hair etc comes to life with shaders!

Tomorrow is Midsummer, so as a Swede I'm winding down and taking some time off with loved ones.

I hope you all have a great time - wear flowers in your hair and enjoy the changing of the seasons 🌞🌸🌺🌼 (or like, throw some snowballs if you're in the southern hemisphere)

If you feel like life is a lot right now, I totally get you.

Hope these very determined bees can help make your day a little bit better 🐝😐

While gender and sexuality doesn't really matter in KreatureKind, I added each character's flag(s) when designing them. Because if it doesn't matter, then why not got for it? 🤷
