Cleru rides the sundog!

Shimmering in the Sky

Here's the background music for Cleru's hometown, Angelwing Islands. This took a while, but it was worth it! 😄

Cleru takes the warp!

We finished the level start sequence! (Aside from the sound)

These are some warp pads. A pair of them get created whenever a shooting star crashes through the clouds and lands on the surface, linking the two spots it hits for a week or two. It's a really quick way to travel and explore, but it can be a bit rough if you're not used to it!

Sundogs!

This is a Sundog! They make perfect pets, but you can't keep them indoors at night or you won't be able to get to sleep. They're just the right size that fluffs can ride them to get around faster, but be careful not to fall off when it starts doing flips and rolls!

🎹

Every song in the game has a piano version for when you're resting on a bench or if you've left it paused for a while. Here's one of them!

Ball lightning

This is a ball lightning! It's a little critter that lives in the sky. It's pretty chaotic and skittish, but maybe you can find a way to feed it anyway?

Sheep music

Here's the music for the moonfloof town!

The Sanctorium of the Sun

Potamus

This is a potamus! It's really hungry and it's in the way.

Screenshot dump

Here's a few random screenshots that didn't fit into any bigger post. Most of our time lately has been spent on spoiler stuff, finishing up the first main chapter of the game, but there's still a ways to go even for that! There's a few bosses left to make, and a lo...

A short update

I know there hasn't been much activity here, so thanks to everyone who's still a patron! Times like this are when your support's appreciated the most, so thank you for your patience.

First, for Sunfluffs, we've still been working hard on it, but it's been spoilers that I don't want to show until later, so that's one reason for not having many posts ready.

But the main thing is that I (Azure) have been going through some pretty serious depression for the past month, and it's starting to wear off a little, but to be honest...

Photography

Sometimes you see a cool bird and you wanna take a picture of it. And you absolutely can! Pull out your camera, and you have as much time as you want to line up the perfect shot.

Once you've taken some photos of stuff, next time you find a nice spot to sit down and rest, Cleru writes about it all!

If you take a bunch of photos because t...

New music!

Thanks for your patience with our lack up updates recently. There's been a lot going on, and most of the new content has been spoilers. Here's some new music though! 🎵

Cleru tries to wake up a dog

Cleru and Aidoneus

Here's a cutscene we just finished. It ended up pretty elaborate, but it was worth it!

Aidoneus's trick is the Eight of Comets, which lets them put Trinkets back in the capsule. They usually use this for mischief though... like giving a powerful, dangerous artifact to their dog Rus.

Star potato

This is a star potato! It's a harmless critter that lives in the caves, digging around to look for food. It's sightless, so it's frightened by noises like footsteps, and it's really difficult to approach... but if you're very patient and gentle, yo...

The Sky

This is the Sky! Most Sunfluffs live up here, in small houses built mostly out of Cloudstone. It can be a bit chilly up here if you're not used to it, but...

Warp Pads

This is a Warp Pad! They appear sometimes after a shooting star crashes into the ground, like Trinkets. Fluffs and Floofs can use them to quickly jump to other Warp Pads, usually to travel between the sky and the surface. Each one only sticks around for a few weeks until its magic fades, so use it while you can! And if you live in the sky, make sure you w...

Toads!

Check out these toads! They come in all sorts of sizes, colors, and patterns, so no two are exactly alike. They're also very, very hungry, and they'll steal any berry that's anywhere close to them. If there's another critter nearby that you wanna feed, you'll have to keep throwing berries until some of them get through!

But, we don't have a name for them yet. Leave your suggestions in the comments!

Oranges

Here's a quick preview of one of Cleru's alternate fruits, the orange! Nobody will eat it with the peel still on, so you need to slam it against the ground to split it into slices. It's hard to reach flying critters with it, but it's twice as tasty as strawberries!

You start with 3 fruits: strawberries (well-rounded), grapes (rapid-fire but weak), and oranges (hard to use but powerful). You never have to change which fruit you're using, but it's fun to mess around with!

Cleru takes a break to write stuff down!

Every once in a while, there's a really comfy spot to sit down at. Cleru will write about everything that's happened in their journal, including any people or critters you've taken pictures of! This will be your quest log and database, with the entire pause menu being entirely in-world as Cleru's journal. This system isn't quite done yet, but we'll keep you updated as we work on it!

Moonfloofs in the garden!

Here's our progress on the sheep town so far! This will be one of the first towns you visit, so you can ask for help or just talk to some cute sheeps.

Moonfloofs are...

Asking Questions

We just finished making the entire clock tower area for Sunfluffs! It's near the start of the game, and is the first major "dungeon". It took way, way longer than we thought, with a lot of that time being spent decorating it. This is the first time I've had to decorate a full 3D level, so I learned a lot, and it'll be some good article material!

For this specific topic, I had a bunch of examples prepared, but explaining just one 2021-07-25 23:31:04 +0000 UTC View Post
