The Inception of Petit Island πŸ’­ - Devlog #1

Hey everyone!

Welcome to the first devlog of Petit Island! My name is Marten, I'm Community Manager for SOEDESCO, publisher for the game. I'm joined by Irfan today, Game Director of Petit Island, to talk about how the Petit Island came into existence!

So Irfan, how did Petit Island start out?

"Thanks Marten! My name is Irfan, I'm a Game Director of Petit island. There are two things I love the most, making games and travelling. As a game developer and a backpacker, it’s a dream to make game base on my personal experience. Backpacking to new places, meeting strangers, discovering new things, getting scammed, making new friends, and many more. Lily the main character, is a new backpacker who will visit one of the most beautiful tropical islands with her own mission to help her lovely grandpaw. She will have an unforgettable adventure on Petit island!"

So what about this main character we've seen, Lily? How did she she come to life?

"It starts with 10 characters we made. To be honest, it was really hard to choose between those ten. So I decided: why not ask the community to vote for the main character?"

The image that was posted on Reddit for the community to vote on

"Then, the small cat came out as the winner and I named her β€œLily”, because that's my wife's name!"

Some of the many expressions Lily has
