Weekly Upkeep 5/26

In the last week we announced we would be working to develop more of the world and culture as a whole; as we figure out what each culture is like and how we shape the world for Necromantic, were able to flesh out each character more and make the game a bit more fun!! We have also worked on a couple things we didnt announce as well. Without further ado, heres the upkeeping notes from the last week!

Map progress

We have a land map of the kingdom territory the game takes place in

Map has been marked up to show where things are in the kingdom such as the fish market, the capital, where the game is mainly taking place, and more.

Culture Update: Selkies

Figured out popular Selkie treats and food culture

Determined how Selkie young is raised and common games they might play

Working on developing Selkie holidays and base religions as well as their cultural relationships with other waterborne races

Decided around Selkies views on body fat as a water based race (positive <3)

As a general note, not all culture notes will come into play in the game! These are general worldbuilding things we are using to develop the cultures, see how each character fits within their racial heritage and the world around them as a whole! We would love to go into more details about the culture updates as a whole on a separate post when we can though!

Next Week Plans

Introduction of a new character

Culture exploration; Mermaids

Upkeeping;

Today weve intoduced a new section of the cast, semi-revealed the games placement, and updated the character list! Next were working on is the map to get a better idea of where everything in the game is, adding in more characters as courtesy of our off-team helper, and developing the cultures each character comes from more!! From now on ill be trying to better keep everyone updated by introducing a weekly upkeep to talk about what weve done in the week and what were working on going ahead! these will be on Mondays, or at least try to be!

Introducing; The Red Herring! The Red Herring is a band of selkies you can find playing in town! The selkies in our game will retain seal-like traits even when not wearing their skins! These traits include things such as sharper teeth, heightened agility when swimming, and speckling along their bodies in the form of freckles! The selkies in the band specifically can be found in multiple places around in the game and have cemented the towns placement along a shore as a seafaring town! There will be a beach and a fish market as a result of this! You can find the selkies later in the day hanging out on the beach if you stroll by! who knows, maybe youll even be able to befriend them!

i absolutely love ilsa's design! they look so huggable. what are their pronouns? i noticed that there's a lot of flesh missing around their left knee- i can imagine that would cause a lot of issue to walk- do they use a cane or walker to help them? or are they able to move around without difficulty?

Ilsa uses She/They Ilsa is partially disabled because of her leg while she doesn't need a cane or walker she has a brace she can/has to put on when she knows she'll be walking a lot walking too much can cause her leg to dislocate and while she can no longer feel pain due to being undead it's still really uncomfortable her leg bone can also pop out of the socket and it's a pain to put back in That and because of the exposure the leg bone could more easily break due to being partially rotten - @manianlittlecutie , Ilsas creator

Hello, I didn't realize you had a blog for this, do you have anyone doing art for this yet?

we do not! we have a slight idea to the art style were wanting to go for but also understand that the ammount of sprites, expressions, and more would be rather costly to have professionally done at this stage so were waiting to see if theres enough interest in the game to begin with before even attempting to get sprites n such paid for

This is so weird but I had a dream the other night that Me and Frankenstein's monster were on a date and I think that was a hint for me to get invested in this game concept.
