✨(4/6) The world of Project Skies is vibrant. Hopeful and uplifting. And mysterious, but in a nice way where you could discover something magical around any turn.
Alright y'all, it's time for us to hunker down and get Project Skies ready for REAL LIFE PLAYERS. It's early days, but we're excited to get folks in and hear your thoughts!
Weekly art drops will continue on Thursdays. Thanks for being here 💛

Building a new world means answering tons of questions, from “What do the inhabitants look like?” to “What do they eat for breakfast?”
For questions big and small,
#art
is a great way to explore possibilities! (🧵)

Building environments usually starts with a blockout phase so you can quickly jump in and see how the gameplay is feeling. Once you're feeling confident, artists come in and add the vibes ✨
Here's some progress we made since the last playtest!
Our leadership and people teams will be in San Francisco next week for
#GDC

it's our way of learning & sharing the games we love together (sry I messed up recording audio, pls imagine lots of screaming)
#gamedev
(3/5) Looking back at some of the art we’ve shared, you can see us digging into things like…
What kind of natural landscapes are there? How do inhabitants interact with each other? How do they use what’s available to build stuff? And what’s for lunch?
(4/5) Beyond tangible details, art can help us express how a world should feel. What’s it like to live there? What’s it like to visit? And how can we build a game that reflects that?
(5/5) We want our world to have depth beyond its vibrant exterior, so we’re gonna keep making art and stories behind the scenes, probably forever. If there’s anything specific you’re curious about, let us know! We’ll do our best to tag you if we share something in the future ✨
Today we cook 👨🍳
Stop by our Discord at 2pm PT for a inside look at prototyping a gameplay mechanic for our next Seeker, ft. gameplay engineer Colton!
(2/5) Every illustration we've shared so far was made during
#development
as a way for us to explore, build, and share this world with each other. Not everything we explore goes into the game itself, but it’s all part of the foundation we’re building Project Skies on.
@Kare_No_O

@wolf_hands
Our biomes are built by the creative team! Every creature has a purposeful place in the universe, with lore about who they are and how they contribute to the magical world.
As for the last question… some you’ll want to cuddle, some are more interested in a lil mischief 😈
