Devlog dec 12th - Forest Village and characters

 Welcome to the first devlog in December

Our plan for these two weeks were to draw a new area: The Forest Village.

This is going to be the second most important location in the game, after the town. It's inhabited primarily by non-humans: Minotaurs, harpies, centaurs etc. It's intended to feel smaller, poorer and more cramped than the town. The player will pick up a couple of quests here and meet a number of new characters.

The first character we will meet is the guard

She's actually nice once you get to know her

Another important character is the Oracle, who is also the informal leader of the village

The Oracle will have a quest for the player

Finally, we have two harpies who are mainly here to provide extra information about the place and the setting in general.

In this world, there's a lot of variety among harpies. Some harpies have both arms and wings, others have combined "wing-arms".

Hopefully this shows some of the diversity in this village. We want to also create a couple of wolf-people and two characters that will eventually join the player's party.

Unfortunately I've been hit by a cold these past couple of days, so we didn't quite manage to draw all the characters we had planned.

We'll have to start next week by drawing the two new companions. After that, we'll move on to create items, abilities and effects for the new companions. Also, every ability needs an animation. Hopefully we can manage to do that in the next two weeks.

Thanks for reading!
Next update (which is also going to be the final update of the year) will be on December 26th. Talk to you then!
