Nanotale - Typing Chronicles News

Hi Fox Riders,

Sorry for the waiting. I was on a long weekend :3

Last week, we started to work on other things than rocks for the second biome in Nanotale. That little house is the first step to create a troglodyte village.



And here's a new concept art showing you some elements from the Sunken Caves' lore. I kind of love that concept more than the others because it's the first time that our concept artist uses the watercolor effect that we have in 3D on a 2D concept.



The following concept shows you some new props that we needed for a special puzzle area located in the Ancestral Forest. Won't tell you more about the puzzle excepted that the area is full of sheeps ːepiwinkː



Let's finish that update with a nice accelerated video showing you our 2D artist texturing a Static Enemy.

Have a great week.

Hi Fox Riders,

I hope that you enjoyed your weekend as much as we did.

Before our long weekend we started some modeling for our second biome ːepipartyː And because it's called the Sunken Caves it will ofc start with rocks!







There are multiple entrances to the Sunken Caves but the main one is located North from the Ancestral Forest, passed the meadow. We are currently working on its look.










While modeling rocks, we are also in quest of the good colors for the Sunken Caves.



We think we found an interesting color scheme for the dwellers of the Sunken Caves. What do you think?





We finished a few textures. Here are the people from the Ancestral Forest. Video coming soon!







The game being in dev, we can't give you keys of Nanotale. So, to support #loveindies we decided to giveaway t-shirts of the game! Comment with an #indiegame you love for a chance to win! 😍

These inquisitive little creatures follow you around, no matter where you go. Not even distressed by the attacks of the blue predators on these lands. Though no one ever saw one attack a Green Jasper particularly.

Visit the link below to have a closer look at the 3D model of the Green Jasper.

Hi Fox Riders,

A new week always begins with a short recap. Last week we worked mostly on the new biome, the Sunken Caves. Our 2D artist created a few concepts of the biome but also of the dwellers.

Some asked for a link to her artstation, so here it is: Enjoy

"The Dwellers from the Sunken Caves are mining too much, they are devouring their own world."





The following concept art show you some elements from the second biome. Some are part of the Lore but others are purely decorative.



Here are some early ideas for the dwellers. They are mostly miners and fishermen.







Thanks to all your suggestions, we found the perfect name for that plant.







We started a streaming routine in English but also in French, with the willing to show you more of the game but also how we create it.

SCHEDULE

Français - Mercredi 11h30 (11:00 am CEST
English - Wednesday 11 am EDT (5 pm CEST)


Follow us on Twitch to not miss them.
You can also watch our previous streaming sessions here.



Some Fox Riders told us that they were missing a lot of our news on Steam due to the huge amount of games they are following. So, I'd like to remind you that we also have a newsletter. You get it less often than a weekly recap (more like 1 every month or two months), but at least it's harder to miss.

So, if interested, here's the link to subscribe.



Here's another post showing you how we create our objects from 2D to watercolor 3D. Maybe we should create a video next time we work on the textures?



And to finish, this won't be in the game but, I wanted to show you what happens when you say to your Game Designer that the fog is not juicy enough! Use your words with caution.



Thank you for reading!

Hi Fox Riders,

I know that you all loved the Green Jaspers and Gummy Bunnies from the Ancestral Forest but how about these little guys?



The dwellers from the Sunken Caves are mostly miners and fishermen. Here's a concept showing you a fishing scene.





Deep in the Ancestral Forest, east from the village, you'll find the cemetery. These rocks are concepts for graves.





We wanted to add an animation for when an enemy hits Rosalind. Maybe that's too hard.





Another asset from the 2D concept to the 3D version with our watercolor texture.





Showing you the whole team at work!



Thank you for reading.

Cheers,
Sophie

Hi Fox Riders,

I hope you had an incredible weekend.

Last week our concept artist, Amandine, continued to work on the Sunken Caves; trying to find the right mood/ambiance for this new biome.







While polishing a bit what we already have in the game, we also created the texture for the main character, Rosalind. She's now all set to explore the world!



Showing you a plant from the 2D concept to the 3D version. We are now really happy with our watercolor textures.





Here's a concept art for a cinematic, showing you the Queen from the Ancestral Forest talking to her subjects.





Another opportunity to name something in Nanotale! How would you call that flower? To inspire you a bit, that element from the lore will be used in the Ancestral Forest, which means that a name in English would fit better. 🌺
