Developer Diaries #8 - Furniture & Capybara Hot Spring!
[h2]Hi Seikyuians,[/h2]
It’s been a while, how have you been?🌸 We’ve been busy creating so many things for you behind the scenes!
One thing we know is important to you is the ability to customize your character, and with that in mind we released some news recently that customization is coming early! 🩷With this feature you can change your hairstyle (not locked to gender) skin tone, lip colour, eye colours and even give yourself some cool edgy scars!
These are just some of the features that will be available as we’ll work on creating more ways for you to express yourself in Seikyu.☺️
We also wanted to share that in future updates beyond Content Update 1 you will be able to purchase a large variety of new furniture based on new and upgraded villagers homes. Let’s take a little tour! 🏘️
[h2]🛋️New Furniture! [/h2]
Homes in Seikyu will be decorated to reflect the personality and vibes of the yokai villager that lives there. On top of that, the furniture in these homes will also be added to Sasaki’s Furniture shop for you to purchase so you can decorate your walls and halls in whichever way you please! Expect to see this available in a future update AFTER Content Update 1.
If you enjoy the battle ready dojo feel, you can put some swords on the wall and a display stand as a center piece or talking point of the living area? ⚔️
Our lovely, soon to arrive Mika, is a bit of a gaming enthusiast so if you want your home to be entertaining with lots of playful elements; her items can give anyone’s home that vibe. 🎮
If you want a more modern but simplistic style, some homes will have decor that speaks more to a westernized style with simple clean lines of a sofa and an elegant Scandinavian coffee table. 🛋️
And of course for that extra bit of luxury why not add some Victorian style seating with a plush upholstered sofa? Pair with a record player and a chic bookcase and you have yourself a cozy library corner perfect for reading on those rainy autumn days. 📚
Our resident baker and mayor Yui is a star in the kitchen, so if you’re ready to be the next big thing in baking why not grab some of the furniture and decorative elements that her home brings to the table (pun intended). Jars and crockery will make your space all lively and ready for hosting the next dinner party. 🧁
And for the creatives and pondering philosophers, add a typewriter and some pictures to your room to create a simple yet elegant corner of creativity and calm. 🖨️
These are just some of the new furniture and there will be more that we haven’t shown here but we can share more of this if you are interested, let us know?
[h2]🏘️Mountain God Shrine[/h2]
The area around the Mountain God Shrine is coming along nicely and will be a new place to wander and admire the scenery. We’ve spent time adjusting and filling out the terrain as well as working on new collectible items in specific areas. 👀
We’ve also finished the Pavillion!
[h2]🛁Capybara Hot Spring[/h2]
Have you ever wanted to see Capybara chilling in their own mini hot spring? In the future you will be able to! 👀 In an update coming in the future, the Capybara’s will enjoy and splash in the hot springs near the ranch.
And that is a wrap for this dev log, keep an eye out as we are very close to sharing a lot more, especially with Content Update 1 fast approaching. 🩷
