Gaucho and the Grassland News

Moving the camera or not in a game can make the player pay more or less attention to it. And that's why riding through the pampas(grasslands) just got better and more immersive with Gaucho and the Grassland's 360° free rotation camera.



The game, which is inspired by several other games such as Animal Crossing for example, followed the traditional line of farming games with a fixed camera, but even considering that despite doing a good job presenting the game world to the players, the fixed camera was not having an interesting differential for the final version.

With the change in the format from fixed to 360º, the player has greater freedom when exploring the mysteries of the universe, building the ranch, taking care of the animals and has greater control when it comes to customization, whether by mouse or joystick.



The change


After listening to the public, the idea came up to change the game's camera restriction and thus develop the 360º orbital camera around the character.

Some feedback was received and along with our own questions it was decided that the camera controls should be more immersive and interesting.



Tests will start in the next demos and it will be possible to see how the public will interact with this type of camera instead of the fixed version.

The next step was to adjust the camera so that it could rotate freely, thus giving players maximum freedom to explore the pampas and other future biomes in the game.



This camera behaviour also applies to indoor environments, maintaining freedom of exploration and avoiding that occasional annoying object that blocks your vision and makes life difficult.

You can test this update in the next demo and leave your feedback, remembering that your feedback is very important for our updates to be even better in the future.

He inhabits one of the regions of the mystic world, a character as mysterious as the universe he lives in, this is the Pajé, the new character of Gaucho and the Grassland.

Pajé

After driving the Boitatá away from the grasslands, the player gains access to the mystic world, where he finds the Pajé, the manifestation of a local entity that lives in a magical place.

Even without a direct relationship with other characters in the village, this character has a special mission for the player, with the main objective being to help him.

Character's dwelling

The Pajé has an important item that has disappeared, so he needs the player's help to find it, and as soon as the mysterious item is found a reward is granted, both to the player and to the whole world.

It is up to the player to interact with the character or not, but it is important to remember that each interaction has different consequences.

Legend has it that in a cave in the middle of the forest lived an ancient chief with his daughter, Yari. However, with the approaching old age, there was also a concern: who would be his successor in the tribe, since he had only one female daughter?

Pajé


For this, the former chief ended up choosing the most handsome and tall of the native people of his tribe, the same one with whom Yari was in love. However, with a noble attitude, Yari ended up not getting married, staying by the side of her old father, since if she got married, she should leave with her husband wherever he went.

One day an old Pajé arrived at the tribe and saw Yari's sadness for having left her great love and ended up asking her what would be her wish so that she could be happy again, and the girl promptly replied that her request was for the Pajé to give strength to her father.

Pajé


Promptly, the Pajé who was sent by Tupã grabbed a leaf and gave it to the chief, so that he could make a drink and recover his strength. Immediately after drinking it, the chief regained his strength, and was able to accompany his tribe for a much longer time.

Yari was then transformed into a Goddess whose task was to teach humanity to cultivate the plant and live in peace.

That is why, today, yerba mate is a symbol of fraternity and peaceful coexistence among human beings and is still shared among all.

The Pajé of Gaucho and the Grassland was based on this beautiful legend, did you already know it?
