Devlog #2 Identity, Cards and Relics


Identity

The previous thumbnail was bothering me: a rough screenshot of an earlier version of the game. It was the moment to spend at least one day making a new one, simple enough to finish it quickly but with more work on the composition, the color palette, the characters. The resulting illustration will be used as Daggan's thumbnail on itch.io for the next update, I'm even supposed to slowly modify it in the next releases, adding details  linked to each update.

The whole process took me 4 hours, and I have 20 cards to illustrate.

On another side of the game's identity, I wasn't satisfied with the logo cause its lisibility wasn't good enough. After removing the damages, an outline was added with some fading thickness to it. It's now a more classical game's logo composition with its relief-like feel.  The font didn't change a lot, remembering the old cuneiform writings with four hidden sharp teeth, cause foxes ...

The final logotype is fit really well the mood of the game in my opinion.

Cards

Oh, I'm not gonna complain about making dozen of lewd illustrations, but it takes time. I really want to publish a good looking card game so each day, during 3 and 6 hours, beside the code and the 3d stuff, I'm drawing all the illustrations possible.

So far I have 3 illustrations, I will probably publish the game once I reach 15.

Relics

When I realised I needed way more time to achieve enough illustrations for the cards game, I also decided to seriously spend time into the victory system. So along the new card game (and loooot of new stuff), the next release will feature a victory system based on some kind of defensive goal.

That's not a tiny statue, the player will spend the first minutes looking for it.

The player will have to find a big old statue and protect it from the monsters for a certain amount of days. And cause days last 15 real minutes, hopefully that will make a pretty long and challenging game.

Kisses, Malerouille
