A cave like atmosphere from another scene.

With all the Star Wars hype going on I couldn't help but think the screens showed Endor at night with good view of the Death Star hanging in the Sky . But as other have said already. It looks really cool (I especially like the trees in the 2nd picture). Out of interested. How'd you describe/call this specific type of art style?

Beautiful work guys, good luck with this project!

[Islet Sound]

Wow, gorgeous, good luck guys!

Yeah Star Wars hype is real man.   Well, it's basically pixel art. But i am not using limited pixels for all textures. It's means all textures in different sizes. This is a bad thing for a pixel artist i guess but i can easily say i am still rookie on pixel art and still learning.   I am trying to achieve natural, atmospheric scenes rather than keep all textures certain sizes. The main idea is simulating the nature itself. Such as all elements in nature in different sizes and not standing in a line. I can't describe it properly but hope you understand me.  


Also off-topic, i am really glad for people who worked(and still working) on great projects such as Wanderer and Kingdom like this project.

The artwork is really nice. You might want to make the darks a bit darker though as it all looks a bit light and low in contrast at the moment

[Xonatron]

Looks so good!

[TonyManfredonia]

Wow!  These .GIFs are very pretty.  I like how the perspective is quite zoomed out.  I'm really hoping the camera stays that way for the most part; it's by no means "hard to see," and gives your game a unique flair!

Can't wait to see more

Don't worry about it. In this case, I'd say it works for you rather than against you giving it a very unique look. Looks stunning!

Thanks for all kind words and feedback. I am really glad to see someone like the project. I was working on first devlog update for recent days, this is why i could not answer good vibes. As a rookie programmer and artist, making up and running things can be really tough and exhausting as you guys know.

Anyway, enough pessimistic feelings today.   First update is about crafting, health system and ui. I am still thinking about it but i wanted to make some campfire locations for crafting and health regenerate. Your health will not regenerate by itself until you come across to campfires, inns or other settlements. Also you will be able to crafting at campfires. I am believing to these kind of things can add more depth on game how feels. I will add more detailed ui but i wanted to show what i am working on at this moment.

Looks amazing  

Judging by your names, I guess we're from the same country, am I right?

Good luck, I'm looking forward to hearing more about the game!

Looking hopeful (in many submeaning )

This looks nice. I'm following too.

My only concern is gameplay area looks a little bit blurred but it might be caused by gif making process, i dunno.

Anyways, great job, keep the updates coming .

Hey ragnor, thanks for feedback and sweet words.  

I can easily say gif quality and size effecting too much. Also wide camera angles may cause some small details lose. But i will look into it, maybe i can achieve better images!

Second update here. 

I was working on "taking items, notes, quests system" recent days. When the player come near an object, it will appear a sign if it interactable. You may find a side quest or a story about vicinity. I am trying to improve interaction with this way. I am all open to get some feedback too.
