The digital construction of Fateweaver has begun! Landscape tile generation works, generating a new randomized layout for each run. Placeholder art still but we're hype to have something working in #godot!

Spent some time this weekend learning to how dissolve our cards in #godot. Still want to iterate on it to give it a little more magic.

One of the biggest inspirations for our next game is Brian Moriarty's adventure game Loom which came out in 1990. Loom shipped with a cassette audio drama, a book of hints that required 3D glasses for reading and beautiful woodcuts art by Lela Dowling.
A woodcut drawing of a person sitting at a loom, there is a sun with a face up above and a goose is flying away from the loom. A woodcut drawing of a hooded person walking, an owl flies next to them and the moon is in the sky. The text next to it reads: Night Vision, the threads of this distinctive and beautiful draft are extrapolated from the song of nocturnal birds. At one time, Night Vision was prized by the Guild of Miners, whose legendary underground realm was chiefly illuminated by luminous tapestries bearing our Seal. Tragically, demand fell off after the Great Earthquake of 7331.

Some future mascots for a future newsletter? Or just an excuse for Kylie to draw some birds?

There's gotta be a better way to capture video from Godot 😂 But this is what I was able to figure out in 10 minutes.

Some early Fate Card ideation. Feels like we could use more detailing and just general flourishes. But maybe approaching demo worthy design 🤔

It's #screenshotsaturday !

We released the 4K deluxe version of Escape from Precinct 27 this week. This release doubles the size of the game and adds additional interactions with the vape pictured in this shot 👀

Game screenshot. 2 girls stand on a CTR screen looking at the camera. Fist box of text reads "Becca: Okay, Harry. What do you need us to do?" Then there are 4 black boxes with white text underneath which read: Investigate the door. Investigate the body. Investigate the hanging key. Nothing for now. Game screenshot: Blue concrete walls and a checked floor. It's a first person perspective of holding a vape. There are two black boxes on screen which read: Take a toot. Don't toot.
