Concept sketches - first person dungeon crawl and enemies
Added 2023-02-25 21:02:57 +0000 UTCHere are some concepts for the dungeon crawling aspects of Sophia and the Secret Grotto, along with some early sketches of prototype enemy designs (you can probably see the Pizza Tower inspiration, haha). Over the next few weeks, I will be focusing on prototyping the dungeon exploration and combat system of the game, rather than working on the opening scene which is subject to change. So far my tests have been going exceedingly well - the gameplay feels fun and I’m confident the next test builds are going to be very fun to play.
Over the course of the game, Sophia is going to be attempting to recover a stolen artifact from otherworldly elves who live in an underground complex. The mischievous elves bring with them strange minions for Sophia to fight. Some of the monsters are living food, as if Sophia didn’t have enough temptation to deal with.
I really appreciate your patience and support as the planned design of my game has been evolving a lot over the last month. My testers have been enjoying the gameplay so far, and I’m hoping to have more gameplay footage to show you very soon!

In all fairness, i figure it's probably a bit harder to emphasize non-gluttony traits if it's one-offs or short comics, rather than a big project like a long-running piece of media (i.e., a big comic or writings or this game) ^_^;

2023-02-28 07:23:35 +0000 UTCThere will be times when Sophia gets stuffed, certainly. But admittedly I feel like I have over-exaggerated Sophia’s gluttony in my art over the last couple years and I’m planning to bring the character back to how I originally conceptualized her, where her gluttony is only a small part of her overall story. I want the game to reflect that as well.
