Spent a long time iterating over Thalia (the kobold in the video's) model and textures, and even longer than that finding a rig and animator. Animators and rig people are both either very busy or don't stay on projects all the way through.

Just acquiring and finding people who could make the assets honestly! Connections are probably one of the most important things in pre production. Once you have an asset flow the rest comes naturally :)

She's Aliiiive! 🦎

It's been literal YEARS to get here (pre production 🫠) but I'm so happy to finally start coding in stuff now. For now, just waiting on more animation to be being made, so stay tuned!

Wow! Thalia wishes to thank you all! I didn't expect so much support on our last post, thank you all so much!

Hope to deliver more to you all soon about my game :)

Thanks @rainbowchromatic.bsky.social for the adorable sketch of Thalia, please check them out!

Thanks to the amazing @/CG_lego we have given our local lizard some new popping textures! Going for a toony painted style with our game.

Please check out @/CG_lego for any realistic or toony 3d art you may need!

She going on a journey to new discoveries 🦎

Thalias animation set is in progress! After we complete her full set you'll see the kobold running rampant!

Expression test we did for one of Thalia's very first concept pieces! Extremely happy with how close it gets to the art. She saw a spider and got spooked 🕷

Hello! We are a small game team hoping to bring forward a fun story driven adventure game about Thalia and a team of explorers discovering old islands, lost civilations, and technology in a cartoony and beautiul world with unique creatures!
