This is Gnaughty Gnomes (Devlog 1)

Hey everyone! We're Sand Castles Studio, a small indie team of 8 people. Three years ago, we developed [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1607680/Bread__Fred/][b]Bread & Fred[/b][/url], the co-op game where two penguins climb a mountain while tied together with a rope. In February, we announced our new multiplayer game: [b]Gnaughty Gnomes[/b]. Yep, it's a game about gnomes, but these gnomes fight to the death! [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45477024/d02baeb45bf6dabd366f7dbadaaeb44c57986520.jpg[/img] This time, we're here to share some updates on its development in this first devlog (more to come!): how we came up with the idea, what the game's all about, and what you can expect from the gameplay. [h3][b]How did it all start?[/b][/h3] One random afternoon, we came across [b]Bloodroots[/b], that fast-paced game where you can use almost anything in the environment as a weapon. And that sparked a question: ''What if the characters were [b]gnomes[/b]? And what if they started brawling with whatever they could grab?'' That's how our new project was born: a [b]chaotic multiplayer game[/b] for 2 to 4 players, where matches are quick, the maps are tight, and the goal is simple: be the last gnome standing.

[h3][b]Chaos... with upgrades[/b][/h3] After a couple of rounds, each player gets to choose [b]a random upgrade[/b] from hundreds of options. Some are useful, others are... well, completely chaotic. But they all shake up the gameplay. And once everyone has a few upgrades stacked, the match turns into a full-on festival of chaos and laughs.

We'll keep sharing our progress through more devlogs. Stay tuned! And stay in touch with us through [url=https://linktr.ee/SandCastlesStudio][b]our social media[/b][/url]. See you soon!
