The team, during a meeting: We'll need a cursor too, eventually.
The artist: I did it while you were talking about it.

The Hollow Core is a world within our own - where all the tales told over fires are real. Gather fellow Adventurers, meet Bigfoot, and defeat monsters while a greater threat lurks in the dark ...

The player's weapon. I don't know how our artist makes such cool weapons!! Not taking bets on him insisting on redrawing it at some point though. 🙃

Making an indie game starts with dreaming. I doubt we'll ever get to these additional NPCs, but I still love them with all my heart. ❤️

These two. Driven and focused meets curious and ditzy. Their skills compliment one another, with Komi being a combat driven Adventurer, and Zemlja being a healing-focused herbalist, but you might have to put out a few fires to get there.

The slimesea biome is one gigantic amoeba ... with leviathans swimming through it. Be careful of drips! Slimesea water needs a good boil before it's edible. 😉

Zemlja is slightly terrified of most things. But with floating gigantic eyeballs, fog that wants to eat your soul, and dinosaurs roaming for food, wouldn't you be?

The artist makes art, and I make stories to go along with it!
In this case, whatever you do, do not tell Bigfood (Bigfoot) that this is his relative. He is not amused. He is judging you right now.

Facial expressions are important! I love this one by our artist. I've got it as confused-cute in our twine stories. It fits ditzy and strangely wise Zemlja perfectly!

The Shadow Train biome is both unique and potentially useful - and dangerous. Hop on a train and you may arrive early ... or days late. Or walk down the train tracks and find one of these!
