2019 has been mostly silent as far as public posting or marketing has gone. As mentioned in the previous update, a lot of the high level planning has already been finished, now we are diving deep into every pixel and detail of the game.<\/p>\n

The First Village (Grass Themed)<\/h1>\n

This is a core part of the gameplay, even though the game is a “tower defense” game, there is also an RPG element to it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Each main section of the game takes place in a different village \/ location. In the first section of the game, we will be in the “Grass Village” (temporary name).<\/p>\n

Top Down Scenes<\/h3>\n

Each section has different “scenes” as indicated by the red arrows at the corners of the screen. So the Grass Village is much larger than just this single scene, but this is one of many scenes within the village.<\/p>\n

I would like to imagine each scene like a page in a story book. The scenes will be animated and various objects and villagers can be interacted with. In this sense, it should feel as if we are peering down into a lively tiny village. This top down viewpoint is the most relatable to us regular sized humans.<\/p>\n

“Grass Village” Town Center<\/p><\/div>\n

These four buildings in the center of the village will play a large role for side quests as well as getting some key items.<\/p>\n

Top-Left:<\/strong> Candy Shop<\/p>\n

Top-Right:<\/strong> Weapons Shop<\/p>\n

Bottom-Left:<\/strong> Rare items Store<\/p>\n

Bottom-Right:<\/strong> General Store<\/p>\n

The player should be able to zoom in on these scenes and get a closer look at what is going on in this world. I want to design the game so you can control the characters and where they go, but you can also simply tap \/ click anywhere on the screen to instantly get wherever you need to.<\/p>\n

Entering Structures<\/h3>\n

This is just a concept, not finalized, but we wanted some interesting way to enter a structure. I had always been fascinated with “cross section” drawings since I was a child; I felt that it would be an interesting way to go about this.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Zoom in on a certain structure, tear away the front and have an x-ray view inside; Possibly we could blur out the background and let our main characters inside the structure.<\/p>\n

This was just the concept idea we had for structures and various indoor areas in the game.<\/p>\n

Pictured above is the “Dark Magic Shop” which is a secret structure you’ll have to locate, but the types of items you can get from this shop should prove quite useful!<\/p>\n

Dark Magic Shop Owner<\/h1>\n

The shop owner was a new character that needed a design.<\/p>\n

We're working on the design for one of the tiny witches.
