Vacations

I’m going on a vacation so for about 4 weeks there shall be no new posts about the progress of the game. That does not mean that I’m not working on it.

Nice vacation to you all.

Neesan - older sister

Neesan, older sister of Myostis, is another character of the “Trader of Stories” game. She's a shoulder to cry on but can also quickly put you in place. Being a single mother on a husk farm is a hard full-time job and requires a strong hand and even more stronger will.

I present here her character in the game environment (from sketch to final design), a conceptual sketch and some cutscenes with her.

and a helping hand when needed

The game from the kitchen side

A home could not exist without a cozy kitchen. And so a room with a stove, a sink, a bunch of jars, little boxes with spices and a table, which is a centre of all kitchens in the universe became a new location in my game. More interactive objects in this one and a puzzle (about which I shall speak later).

Coni - Myosotis niece

"It was a long time since I last visited home. Traveling through distant lands in search for my past I often thought: what is this THING that describes a person? One’s actions? But if there is no trace of them in my memory how can I be sure who I am? One’s desires? One’s close ones?"

What a home would be without a family to share it with? And a game without NPC’s (non playable characters)?
During Myosotis visit in her home she will have the opportunity to spend some time with her family. Firstly let me introduce her niece – Coni. Once again from conceptual sketches to final drawings.

Home Sweet Home

I’m working now on a new location which shall be Myosotis home. She can be a lone wanderer but she still has a home or at least four walls and a roof. She does not live there alone and soon I shall present other occupants. For now the location from the conceptual sketch to the final drawing. Like before it composes of three separate layers which shall give an illusion of space.
