[h3]Hi Seedlings! [/h3][p][/p][p]I hope everyone had a great summer! These past few months have been incredibly for us with game developement. With the new areas coming together nicely, we figured this monthly round-up is a good time to give everyone an early preview![/p][p][/p][h2]New Areas![/h2][p]ICYMI, last month we’ve shared some blurred teasers of our new maps, and this time we are excited to show them in full HD. (We’d have loved to do it in 4K but alas, upload size limit…)[/p][p] [/p][p]The Brazen Plains is a vast open area surrounded by mountains. Numerous creatures roam the plains, and the surrounding mountains have all the nooks and crannies (and a MASSIVE lake) for you to explore.[/p][p] [/p][p]The Volcano is a blazing inferno filled with environmental hazards and dangerous creatures. Mind your steps, and don't step on the lava![/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p]Here’s another new area not included in last month’s screenshots – the Scrapshire Village. Populated by quirky characters (you might spot some speech bubbles in the backdrop), you can take on many fun challenges for bountiful rewards![/p][p] [/p][p]Aside from the maps, we’ve been working on new body parts for the full game. Below is a screenshot of some of them combined on a single creature. What creatures do you think they belong to? Take a guess, and we’ll talk about them in the next monthly blog![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Community Creations[/h2][p]Before we go, let's check out what bizarre life forms our community made in the last month. We’ve received a number of awesome submissions from our Discord member Deathclawstudios. Here are some of their cool designs![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]This dragonfly has some impressive stats: over 200 stamina! That looks more than enough to soar across any map with ease![/p][p][/p][carousel][/carousel][p]They also recreated other IRL animals like a vulture and a fly with tools available in the demo. Look at the vulture spreading its massive wings![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]While this is all for this blog post, we'll be sharing more about the full game in the upcoming round-ups! Be sure to follow us on our socials and check back in next month![/p][p][/p][p]Twitter YouTube TikTok [/p]

[h3]Hi Seedlings! [/h3][p][/p][p]Over May and June, we've implemented various updates to polish the demo in both gameplay and visuals. After consolidating the existing content in our demo, we feel it is time to start working on the next steps of Strange Seed. Here's a little (blurry) teaser on a couple of the new maps that we've been making![/p][p][/p][h2]New Areas Sneak Peek🖼️[/h2][carousel][/carousel][p]The screenshots here only show 2 of the several new areas that we've been preparing for the full game. We want to make sure each of them will offer a different experience so we've been putting a lot of thought into laying down a large variety of puzzles, missions and enemies to make every map feel intriguing and distinct. Be ready for new encounters and new challenges![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]New Area, New NPCs[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]An Indie Games Celebration! 🌏[/h2][p][/p][p]Going into August, Strange Seed will be make an appearance at another exciting Steam event: the East Asia Indie Games Celebration (Aug 5-19). We are very grateful for being accepted to this event in recognition of our Asian team members' contribution to this evolutionary RPG. Check out their absolutely massive collection of awesome indie games from East Asia![/p][p][/p][h2]Community Creations🎨[/h2][p]Now it's time to look at our community's creative designs again. As always, our players came up with some bizarre rather critters. Here are a couple designs by orinz:[/p][p][/p][p]A colorful cryptid, this creature not only has insect body parts, but also makes use of the cyborg tail to repel enemies with lethal stings![/p][p][/p][p]A giant, enemy spider. For a cosmetic creature it is surprisingly capable in combat, with both offensive and defensive abilities alongside a solid stat line.[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you for joining us for this community round-up. More exciting news is coming soon, so keep a lookout on our socials for more updates![/p][p][/p][p]Twitter YouTube TikTok [/p]
