Clockwork Concoctions by StudioPilled, Conner Vincent, isfaery, Chii, Kuna!
You play as a lone wizard. Will the chase for immortality bring you to ruin, or will you ascend from this mortal coil?

Surprise game jam drop! #indie
Clockwork Concoctions is a game where you play as a rapidly aging wizard who must create potions to remain youthful and stay afloat. I was responsible for some of the art assets, mainly the interior and some machinery.

I finished this last night, but I made a new reference of my OC, Lucky, because he desperately needed a freshening up.

"Having spent a life of discipline in the temple grounds, the abbot rewarded their mastery of nature with one final task: Descend into the roots of the valley chambers and open the forbidden scroll - for the dissonance of Limbo awaits harmony."

"A noble spy burnt at the stake for accusations of witchcraft. What suddenly occurred was a psychotic outbreak that tore the village apart, engulfing all in the stake's flame, and so the ashen clouds shrouded the vengeful spirit into darkness."

"Years of relentless bounty hunting was not enough to clear the great debt upon their name. Desperate to uncover a hoard of riches in a forbidden tomb, it was only inevitable that arrogance and greed would cost their mortal coil."

"The crestless fighter wandered aimlessly from their land of origin, seeking a worthy duel that would fill the insatiable hollow of a good fight from within. With a lonely grace, they drifted into the ocean waves and embraced limbo."

"A warrior-monarch who, having conquered the remaining kingdoms, turned their armies to the stars. The astral warfare was devastating yet bloodless, and so their martial soul was subjected to an endless, unfavourable battle."

Very exciting to work as a concept designer and 2D artist for this game! 💀🕯️💞
Characters and visual storytelling are at the forefront of our upcoming title. As the player battles their opponents, through gradual observation, the veil lifts and their story is revealed.
Pictured is a teaser of the first opponent the player faces. All shall be revealed in time…

It has been some time since our last game dev update, and whilst we are not quite ready to showcase any gameplay, we have been far from stagnant behind the scenes.
As a first teaser for our upcoming game - what is it that draws you in?
Coming to a deck near you...
