Texturing is done! A few more wing bones are needed to make them move as smoothly as possible. 

But, I love this one a lot! Burrowbridge is now a step closer to finished as is Tytopia!

Baby steps, but it is worth it.

Along with The Light of Caelum I will be taking a wing (get it) at a 3D open world game. This is going to take a VERY long time, but I wanted to give a taste of the concept.

Tytopia is an open world game where the player can walk and fly through stylized landscapes as an owl they can customize. Among the trees, mountains, and plains you can place a home and decorate your nest with various items. Throughout the world are bird villages and merchants who will offer wares and quests. The game will gave no lives and is meant to be a peaceful, relaxed game where the player can sit back and enjoy the wonders of the environment.

I'm considering an online multiplayer mode where players can chat and play minigames together. This would take place in a different area of the world specifically for this function. The other mode would work as a LAN world where friends can play together in the main world and explore together.

When I am further in I will most likely open up a kickstarter for help.

That is all I have so far, but if you would like to throw in any suggestions please comment!

Gotta make it loop longer

In the first few minutes of posting I got really positive comments about Tytopia. I just wanted to say I am so excited to hear all this. I wanted to talk for a minute about my two projects.

The first one being The Light of Caelum. I know page 8 is a little late, but I am not going to forget about TLOC. This is the story I have been working on for 10 years and I really believe in it. I may go through a week or two where  no page comes out, but know I am not forgetting it!

Now, to talk about Tytopia. Tytopia is something I’ve always wanted to do. I played the Legend of the Guardians game recently and all I could think was “Man, if this game was open world, had ‘villages’, and a walking mechanic they’d have made one awesome owl based game”. And, then it kinda hit me that today we have all the resources to learn how to make a game from home. The gaming community is thriving with new creators and indie makers so I figured why couldn’t I make a game? Then my boyfriend mentioned how cool an open world bird game would be and that settled it. I have been sketching out concepts and ideas and I am truly excited for this. The fact that already I am getting good comments only drives me further. Tytopia will definitely not be left in the dust. I promise I will bring this world to life no matter how long it takes.

So, to sum things up, I am not letting go of these two projects. I feel they are my purpose and the fact that you guys believe in them too makes me so happy!

Hey guys!! I thought it would be neat if I did a little community activity with Tytopia. This here is a template of the Barn Owl model. I’ve made a few color designs, but I thought it would be neat if people could submit ideas that will be featured in the game (with artist credit)! So, if you are interested, just save this template, color it however you want, and I may use it as an official Tytopia character with your name! Just send me a message of your colored template! :D
