Sleptin Town, The Main Hub

When Doki & Mewie arrive in Sleptin they try to look around for some help to get back home... However, no one seems to be home themselves! Upon "letting yourselves in" (definitely not breaking and entering!) one of the buildings you realize what the problem is: everyone is asleep!!... Hmmm... The town is all connected through gears and machinery, but none of the clockwork seems to be working. You soon find out that the various gears have gone missing and you must repair the clock to wake everyone up! Just find some old parts and pieces. Sounds simple enough, right?

A quick sneak peak at the many frames of animation that will go into each character. Here’s 360° of eye rolling for extra sassiness! These aren’t even the start of all of his facial expressions!

I want the animations to really show the personalities of each and every creature in the game!

The main enemies of the game, the Insomniacs. This one is quite a bit shorter than his fellow Insomniac Grunts, so we’ll call him an Insomniac Runt.

Hey, what a sharp hat that one’s wearing! Most Insomniacs won’t be sporting such cool headgear so maybe… This one is special somehow?

Doki-Mewie sketch based off their sprite.

Yes, surprisingly I did the sprite first.

Well, I had some concept art before the sprite but they looked quite different.

We stop uy our offices to drop by and say ‘hello’ to our secretary, Morgan!

She’s in charge of “organizing” papers and important documents. And by “organizing” we mostly mean laying on them.

If all goes as planned she’s also slated to do some voice acting work! But if we can’t get her to stay still to provide the voice samples we have a professional cat impersonator on the team. Well, as professional as a cat impersonator can be, anyway. That’s me, LuciDirector! Yes, VA will be one of my various duties on this project.

Who or WHAT is LuciDev?

Who or what AREN’T we?!?…

Just kidding, LuciDev is the name of the studio behind Doki-Mewie. Of course, we haven’t trademarked that or anything so nothing is permanent as of yet. Just don’t be a jerk and trademark it before we do. :P

Another acceptable name to call us is Dream Machine since we are making dreams with our machines, but… we’ll have to talk about that later… ;)

As for me, the guy who’s been posting these posts, for now you can call me “LuciDirector”. Since, after all, I’m the guy who first came up with the concepts behind Doki-Mewie and this summer I plan to start putting those concepts into game form. Of course, there are others on this “dream team” but you’ll learn more about them later.

The Town of... Sleptin?

Yep. Doki & Mewie awake in the outskirts of this town. A mysterious place covered in fog where everything is connected to and ran by clockwork. Everything is timed and it’s all tied together with the centerpiece of the town: the Sleptin Clocktower, which, interestingly enough, is sitting atop the ancient temple of the SandNyan Society.

Who Are Those Cat Guys On Your Header?

Those are monks of the SandNyan group, a secret-ish society whose temple is in Sleptin, the main hub of the game.

In fact, the town of Sleptin was built around their temple.
