My friend introduced my to this lil game called Palworld and it now has me in choke hold. Here's some of my favs
UPDATE: NOW WITH A TIMELAPSE

Twilight Dunes
This was an image I made for an official Palworld art contest. I have no idea what my chances are of winning, but I did my best, using a lineless style I'm not used to working with.
As the title suggests, this focuses on the Twilight Dunes, an area of Palworld located near the center of the world map. Featured are a bunch of the Pals you can find in the area; I didn't include Lovander in the scene as it's only present at night.
Naturally, Anubis is a big focus here, as it not only has a big rock carving within the locale, but acts as an Alpha boss as well. The Pal itself is a personal favorite (though a few folks may think that's obvious); it's not only cute and cool, but in-game it's very handy to work with. A strong battle buddy as well as a handy base worker.
. . . .
As a matter of fact...
This is a version of the image that only shows Anubis. It hits a little different, and admittedly this was what the original image idea was meant to be. But at the same time it makes the area seem nearly barren, and it doesn't reflect the game's array of creatures as well. Besides, you can't traverse Twilight Dunes without encountering a few Tocotoco.

I decided to buy Palworld during the current Steam sale because it feels like it could vanish under a pile of lawsuits at any second and I wanted to get my licks in before it goes.
It's... it's ARK: Survival Evolved. It just is. Only you play as a knockoff Fortnite character instead of a greasy pooping caveman and your dinosaurs have become Pokemon. The world itself is generally realistic (if colorful) and does not match the cartoony individuals at all. The actual gameplay is, well, it's ARK, but your Pokemon (sorry, 'Pals') are way more helpful than any stupid dinosaurs and will actually do things on their own and keep themselves alive. That's nice.
I will freely admit that the 'Pals' are just super cute and generally adorable to look at (when they're not stuck on scenery). They have something there. I hope it gets better!
It's pretty janky and basic to play - jumping feels bad, climbing animations trigger at stupid times, parasailing looks kind of silly, you can tell they cared way more about animating the 'Pals' than about animating the human characters - and, while I'm definitely having a certain level of fun with it, I just keep on being baffled that it still exists.
On the other hand, Dumud is my precious sweetie and I refuse to go anywhere without him galumphing along beside me being a big dumb squelchy baby.
