It wasn't until we started using crystals for lighting, contrast, and interactable elements in our #indiegame concept that this idea came together!

Az, the ever determined treasure hunter wants to find all the shinies under the sea! While Sam wants to figure out how it all works!

Happy #mermay!

There's a great big story behind all of this! I won't spoil anything, but at least tell you that there's a reason they don't have scales! They are not half man, half fish, or half of anything, they are 100% Mer!

Broken Tail Interactive @brokentail.bsky.social · May 12

For the most part just as dexterous as ours. Much stronger and thicker skinned though. Sure they won't be playing piano, but can fashion their own tools, art, clothing and everything they need to live and thrive in the sea!

Broken Tail Interactive @brokentail.bsky.social · May 11

Well they are yours!

Broken Tail Interactive @brokentail.bsky.social · May 10

It's the differences that inspire us all!

The #mermaids are built for life under the sea with large, strong and durable hands that help them navigate life in the water! Come follow along to check out our #merfolk inspired third person adventure #indiegame, #gamedev The Azure Project

Happy #mermay!

Since #mermay is right around the corner! And what better way to celebrate than diving head first into some of our concept arts!

We wanted to really showcase Az's personality, and what better way than showing just how much of a voracious treasure hunter he can be!
