Chilly DevLogs from Alaska ! #31

Hello travelers!

I heard that you missed me ;)
And i missed you!
We were so busy with our other games that we had no time to write about our beloved Alaska!
But no time for devlogs ≠ no work on the game
What it mean? :D That we have been working on Alaska all this time :D
And today I will show you something we have been working on :D





Alaska Gold Fever will have a carefuly crafted NPC characters, almost each one will have backstory and will be a part of main quest or side quest!

Today let's see a bit more details of one this character - Mr Cormac Sullivan !!

Concept art first, as always. Doesn't he looks like Einstein? :D

Cormac Sullivan, the grizzled prospector. This seasoned Alaskan has left his cobbler life behind in Massachusetts and embarked on an epic journey to chase the glittering promise of gold in the Klondike during the late 1890s.



Cormac's appearance tells a story of resilience and determination and shows the harsh and complicated life he leads. In the harsh Alaskan environment, he can be a guiding star for the player.
His job is to help the players, but only if they can mine gold themselves first.
He will not say a word to every prospector - you have to earn his trust.
Do some quests for him and he will spill some beans, but remember: only experienced adventurers have a chance to gain his knowledge!





And of course he is important to the main plot! But I can not tell you more at the moment ;)
Most of the time he is calm and determined, but something happened that he lost his calm expression and his face changed in a minute (see picture). What caused this sudden change? One day you will know ;)





With his robust build, weathered face, and eyes that hold both determination and humor, he's a man who has experienced the full spectrum of Alaska's harsh weather, untamed wilderness and... people.

Though Cormac's gold may not have made him a wealthy man (yet), he possesses a wealth of knowledge and experience that transcends mere material riches - like who to avoid doing business!

Sully without eyes and colors yet by with determined face already



Sullivan - our designer came up with this name (and a whole character), but the name Sullivan always triggers a certain character in me. A monstorus Sully from the old movie Monsters Inc. :D
Maybe it's a hidden double life of our Sullivan? :D Who knows !!! :D (I asked the designer and he denied it)

But he told me that this char is kind of based on another character in some very widely known Color Cowboy Game 2 but i can't tell you on which character because this will be spoiler for this game as well for Alaska :D

Also, you will see this character MUCH MORE more often from now on... And why? You will find out ;)

Thank you for reading and be ready for a next devlog Soon™ enought !
We will continue the story about our Cormac Sullivan and show more technical material about his creation in 3D software!
Take care of yourselves!
