 [🎮Anecdote time!]

Which obscure video games inspired you for GoldenEarth?🌠

Among the many video games we loved and that inspired us for GoldenEarth... If we had to name only one, it would be Digimon World!🦖

🤔Do you know this game? Did you play it? What memories do you have about it?

Tell us in the comments! 💬

This game released in 2001 in Europe. We played it on the Playstation 1! It was weird and difficult but it had such an incredible feel to it!

Digimon World inspired us to develop a central city in our game, built by the NPCs that the player will potentially "recruit" throughout their adventure.🛖🛖

We really wish to go far enough to develop an interesting community aspect!😉

Last week, we went to see Nòtt music in concert!🤩🎶!  Here is a very small video (sorry for the poor quality that doesn't do them justice!)🤳

Nòtt is working on a song for GoldenEarth that we can’t wait to share with you!!💛

In the meantime, you can see the list of their upcoming concerts as a description on their profile! Consider supporting them!🌟

🌠Here is the current state of our videogame project!

I hope you enjoy this commented video.😉

We fought for months on Godot, but we finally have a playable demo of 5 min... 🥹

Of course, we still have a lot of content to add (and bugs to fix!). It’s long, but we hope the wait is worth the detour. 💪

Thank you all for your votes and proposals!!🥹 Many of you voted on the various social networks and we thank you!🤩

After 2 rounds, the names for these two twin sisters will be: Ceram & Luta!💛💛

These 2 names were suggested to us in comments and had great success!🌟

We’re really looking forward to bringing them into the game (and I hope you are too?👀)

2nd round!! 💃 Help us give a name to these twin sisters! 🐰🐰

Thanks to all those who participated in the first vote: we had some nice proposals and decided to make a 2nd vote!🌟

I grouped and mixed some ideas collected from the different social networks.👀

Thank you again for your participation!!🙏

Here are the twin sisters in their color versions!✌️

We have a hard time finding names for them. Help us by giving names in comments! We’ve put some examples.🥹

The left one will do pottery and painting🎨. She will offer to personalize elements of the Balzane’s caravan! The one on the right will be in charge of carpentry and expand the mobile farm!🪚

We hope to be able to show you the improved caravan design soon!

Finally the animation of the Beemur🐝🐒, the second creature that can join the caravan of Balzane!🚙

It’s hard to animate a flying creature, but the result is worth it!🤩

Happy New Year 2025 everyone !! 🌟🌠

We have resumed work on GoldenEarth✌️. Before we show you more progress, here is some concept art for 2 new NPCs (twins, F) the player can interact with 👀🗣️

See you soon!

Here is the next part of the intro cutscene! 🤩

You can see the first scene in the previous post. 

What do you think? 😁

💛First colored drawing for GoldenEarth's intro scene! ⛈️

It shows the protagonist Balzane and his Bizak🦬, walking on a path along the edge of a slippery cliff. The bad weather is making this a very risky endeavor...⛈️

To be continued !🔜

[goldenearthgame]

⏩We have started implementing scripted sequences

This will be very useful to add "cinematic" scenes, for example!🎥

Balzane now has a plant that grows tetranuts in his caravan🎋. It will be an invaluable resource to help him befriend Tetramsters and care for them.🐹

⚙️On the technical side, we have completely revamped our system for contextual actions, making better use of Godot's Resources and simplifying a lot of the work on new interactables.

🧩lvl1 landscape

Here is the 1st area as we had imagined: lots of plants, details, ...🌿Next step: the cliffs.We are getting to the same point in the project as when we left Unity✌️

We're proud of the results so far!

We explain the difficulties that we had to face during the development of GoldenEarth these 3 last years!😨

We make very few videos with our voices, it is a difficult but interesting exercise.🎙️

During this video, you will also have the opportunity to see images of the game at the beginning of development in 2021.🫣

So we can see how much progress we’ve made!😊

Thank you for your patience and we hope you like this type of video💛! (it takes time to make...!)🤐

Lorhus, GoldenEarth developer, is given the floor!💬💻

“My own dialog resource system gave me an idea💡,I applied the same principle to one of my biggest challenges for this game : Sprite variants.

Once again to improve our map building process, I made a library system to organize all the sprites, and each of their color variations.

Along with the correct offset to apply to the Sprite3D node for each sprite, so we don't have to go look for it every time.

This is way easier and faster than creating a new scene for every possible sprite.”

⏩Another new animation, this time of a much more complex character !! 😮‍💨

These are animations for one of our NPCs, the time-obsessed Anteater man, Kortinarius! 🐜🍄

It’s a lot of work since he has such a detailed design. But for now, the result is quite good, what do you think? 🫣

⚙️This time we advance the dialogue system!💬

Small fade animations have been added for the portraits of the characters.

🔧Our developer has added a new tool that will make it much easier to add dialogs!

💬With this tool, it is possible to import dialogues, write them easily, change the side portraits (left/right), etc.

Notice that Kortinarius talks about a disturbing subject...!🫢
