E3 may be over, however the nice turning wheel of game improvement by no means pauses. These builders may not get the glitz/grime combo of the large present, however they do have Screenshot Saturday, a stunning Twitter tag to share some peeks at in-progress work. This week: some lonely foxes, a handful of very useful social gathering decorations, and a beautiful assortment of scrap.
Where else would we begin however with cute fox cubs? Everyone say “aww” at these infants from Endling.
Unfortunately, the game’s Steam web page shatters the lovable phantasm considerably. “As the last fox, keep your cubs alive and reach the only place on Earth where humans cannot harm them,” it says. “Explore Endling’s 3D side-scrolling world and defend your cubs, three tiny and defenseless fur balls, feed them, see how they grow up level after level, notice their unique personalities and fears, and most importantly, make them survive.”
I’ve performed Shelter. I understand how this goes. But I nonetheless need to see Herobeat Studios’ twist on it, particularly as a result of a Tweet downthread says they’re implementing “variable tail idle animations.” I like to be tricked into ache by way of cuteness.
Also cute is that this chook good friend from Songbird Symphony.
Sometimes, even should you can fly, you simply want somewhat little bit of encouragement from some balloon-pop propulsion. They make such a satisfying snap, too, and the chubby little stroll cycle is lovable. According to the game’s Steam web page, this good friend is actually referred to as “Birb,” and he’s exploring for his “true origins.” He’s gonna be singing and platforming his manner via it, and I cherished Wandersong, so I’m very intrigued to see whether or not this could seize the identical musical magic when it releases in July.
The jellyfish being scooped up right here in UnDungeon are additionally candy, should you ask me, however I’m extra enamoured by the way in which all these bits of scrap come collectively into this swiss cheese tent.
Dominic wrote about this action-RPG-slash-roguelike virtually a yr in the past, taking a stab at explaining its unsettling post-human world and the alien “Heralds” you’ll be taking part in as. “The glimpses we get at the non-playable (yet friendly) aliens are fascinating too, such as a massive clawed sand-beast that speaks slowly and politely, and an arms dealer that appears to be some kind of crystalline octopus. It’s a strange world out there, and one I’m looking forward to exploring,” says he, and I agree. I need to change into mates with this fisher, too. You can see extra pretty gifs on the game’s website.
Bonus this week shouldn’t be actually from a game in any respect. It’s an Unreal engine tutorial from a Starbreeze Studio lighting artist. It’s additionally attractive, simply have a look at it.
