Progress
We’re continuing full steam ahead on new kinfolk designs! Alex, the original creator of Awburn and Kainite (and resident geology geek), has also been given free rein to generate ideas for Earth type kinfolk. So far, a total of 24 kinfolk concepts have been finished, 8 are currently in progress, and written descriptions have been made for dozens more.
Animation work recently finished on Kodoki and Mechid, and Shovel_Butt isn’t far behind! Here’s a preview of one of the new animations:
The design team is putting the finishing touches on documentation for the Alpha Combat Arena. We’re wrapping up the last few details, and are very happy with how it’s progressing overall.
The development team has made great progress on the ECS/DOTS implementation of the game! We've laid the groundwork for multiplayer combat, and are now on to coding up attacks and animations. (And rest assured, we've managed to get in a wink or two of sleep, and even had a barbecue on Memorial Day!)
Community
We had a fantastic time talking to GymLeaderEd last week for Kindred Talks 3! The video is available to watch now on our Main YouTube Channel. Going forward, we plan to post streams on YouTube the day after they go live on Twitch.
June Streams:
Our next Chill with the Devs will be on Friday, June 12 at 3pm (15:00) EST. We have something different planned for this one! Keep an eye on the Discord for more details ;)
Kindred Talks 4 will be on June 26 at 2pm (14:00) EST. We’ll be featuring a few new people from the core Skymill Studios team! As we get closer to the stream, we will be accepting questions from the community to ask our guests.
Thanks as always for checking in with us. We’ll see you next time, on June 19!
