The Abbess Garden's Devlog 08: livestream, public playtest and more flowers!

[p]Dear players,[/p][p][/p][p]I was invited to the Utopiales festival recently. It was initially mostly about sci-fi, but it has become more open to fiction in general. There is a video game area, and the professional gamedev association my studio is part of (Atlangames) helps with organising it.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The Utopiales are held in Nantes, the biggest city of my region, which is very pleasant and which I hadn't visited in a while! The weather was nice, so I took a few pictures of the Château des Ducs de Bretagne :) [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]I participated in a Twitch livestream on the Utopiales channel (hosted by Moustique and Le_Technicien 💖), it was my first and a very good experience! [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Then I presented The Abbess Garden in a workshop where visitors playtested the game (organised by Chloe, a fellow indie developer of Eode). It was organized in the historical buildings of LU (a brand well known here for their "petit beurre"). Cultural heritage is everywhere ;) [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The new part for me was that there were a lot of children, and the game being only in English made me do a lot of live translation ;) It was still very fun and useful![/p][p][/p][p]🌿🌿🌿 [/p][p][/p][p]In the meantime, we are working on finishing the game's content. Giovanni is writing the dialogs while I am modeling, texturing, rendering/drawing (for the icons and book) and integrating the plants in Unity.[/p][p][/p][p]I don't want to spoil to much, so here it's just one plant, one of my favourites (the first plant I bought as a kid ;) ): the columbine! It's probably a bit too much detailed considering it's only seen from afar in the game, but it was very interesting to model![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Let me know what your favourite plants are![/p][p][/p][p]🌿🌿🌿
[/p][p]I wish you all an excellent day :)[/p]
