A new Development log on OWLS.

Here you can see the concept art and the in-game pixel art of a young jackdaw nun. I won't say who she is and how she will be featured just yet.

Here's a short gif of the sky.

This is probably the most beautiful shot I've taken in OWLS thus far.

As you might have noticed, quite a lot has changed, I'll show more as soon as everything is fully functioning.

The first thing you'll see is that I've completely redone the sky. I'll go into more detail on that soon.

Second, the main character sprite has changed a bit. He's not animated yet so I can't show of a lot, but he has definitely gotten a lot slimmer.

Epic over-world theme anyone?

Every year there is a festival. One were the birds leave their nests and party all night!

Look who got him self a new item!

Here's a common animal in OWLS. They're named 'dave' as of now.

The drawings bellow are some versions made by Kay.

This creature could be aggressive, but I plan on giving it some interesting AI so it's not just another game monster.

I’m thinking that I’ll probably have to change the forest music I uploaded (or at least add an extra one), not because I don’t like it, but because it makes no sense as it is right now.

I really want to design OWLS as best I can make it, so I’ve been thinking a lot about the feelings I want to convey in certain areas at certain times.

Whilst thinking about the first town, what it should look like, how it should be structured and how the music will add to the feeling of a peaceful home, I also noticed that the forest music had no elements of what the forest, at least for the beginning of the game, is supposed to be.

Here's a sketch Kay drew! It's of one of the Dark Angels, which make up Sakarau's army.

The lower one is an earlier sketch by Vithim.

Here is a picture of Arrow Tower my good friend Kay drew! ^_^

Somewhere I did not want to share this just yet. I'm way to happy with the result though.

Since I was so insanely indecisive I ended up making it a blend between orchestral en chiptune.

Yay more sketches!

This one is of two important characters in OWLS. This is just a rough doodle. Neither the names or designs are final.

Here's an early sketch of a dungeon for OWLS. It's a giant arrow that falls from the sky and becomes a tower on the plains. 'Arrow Tower' as I thoughtfully named it.
