Dev Diary #004: Munchkin's Country

[h2][color]Hello, players![/color][/h2]
We continue to actively work on the game and want to lift the veil a little on what has already been done and what is currently in progress - along with important details.
In this dev diary, for the first time, we'll tell you more about the inhabitants of the Blue Country and show the location where one of the stages of Toto's journey begins.

[h2]The Munchkins[/h2]
During his journey, Toto will have to meet various magical inhabitants of the Blue Country and traverse its forests, fields, and even mountains! But let's take it one step at a time.
Meet the Munchkins!


The inhabitants of the Blue Country are hardworking and good-natured, and they definitely won't refuse to help Toto on his adventure! The tornado that swept away the Kansas house brought them trouble, but together with our hero, they will be able to restore everything.

Most Munchkins live in peaceful valleys and engage in farming: they grow crops, tend to gardens, and lead a calm, quiet life.
However, Toto will get to know not the valley dwellers, but a special mountain settlement of Munchkins located at the foot of the cliffs. Their way of life differs from the usual picture of the Blue Country. Far from the fertile fields, they mine ore and minerals, harvest timber, and float it down the rapid river to other Munchkins settlements as building material.


The storm disrupted their peaceful way of life, and Toto will help them cope with the aftermath of the hurricane, gradually becoming part of their daily concerns.
Each such encounter is a little story about mutual help, trust, and gratitude. And if Toto shows courage and responsiveness, the mountain Munchkins will not only help him on his way but also equip him for the journey, thanking him for his good deeds.

[h2]Caves[/h2]
Toto's path lies not only above ground but also beneath it. Through wild underground caves and mines, where the Munchkins extract emeralds and metal, he draws closer to his goal.

In this part of his little journey, Toto passes through a series of beautiful underground caves and galleries with waterfalls, gets to know the mining Munchkins, and might even find something special in these caves, if he looks carefully!

The caves are a special space with their own atmosphere: beautiful, a little mysterious, and full of details for those who love to carefully explore the world around them.

Dev Diary #003: World Through Toto's Eyes

[h2][color]Hello, players![/color][/h2]
We are resuming our dev diaries with new details about Toto. We're sharing how this charming dog ends up in the world of Oz.

[h2]Motion Capture[/h2]
The most energetic presence on screen is the restless Toto, and we approached his appearance with maximum precision. All of Toto's animations were recorded using motion capture technology. Below you can see the actor playing the main role in the game:



Every action of our stunt performer was recorded and transferred to the character model. Toto's movements in the game are intuitive - running through the grass feels natural and fun!



[h2]Paw-bilities[/h2]
Of course, on his long journey, Toto will have to use all his canine skills. Barking, biting, jumping - a universal toolkit for any situation.



In future devlogs, we'll share more difficulties Toto will face. Share your guesses in the comments - what dangers will Toto encounter on his way to save Dorothy?
