PSA (again)

You might have noticed that I was very quiet. While I thought these IRL issues I mentioned before were resolved they are unfortunately back.

To be a bit more open with you, I’m visiting close family where I have to help out due to my Mother’s health issues. I also have to stick around here a lot longer than originally planned. The plan was that I was going to go back home at the start of February. But since there is a surgery upcoming that will leave my mother bedridden for a fewe weeks I have to stay here to make sure she gets the care she needs and her dog also gets the care HE needs. <3

Due to the change in my workspace and some other hold ups I’m now behind schedule by quite a bit. Which is a pain, but unfortunately I can’t really help it. I’ll keep on working hard, though. I’m getting things done but much slower than before. So it is quite possible that the Tech demo will be pushed back by ca. two months.

On the plus side I still have SOME things to show UwU I promise there will be a dev blog update next monday. Today you’ll be getting to see some more of those gorgeous OCs UWU

Thank you all for your patience in advance!!
I’m working hard it’s just all a bit hard at the moment.

As a little consolation gift here’s a picture of my mother’s dog.

Sattk - UI series Part 1/3

For part 1 of the UI series I’d like to show off the Main Menu screen that I’m really proud of:

And some Menu UIs:

Part 2 of the UI series will touch on the InGame UI so you’ll finally get to see the game from the inside!!!! >W<
Part 3 will contain additional UI such as “Trust Icons” and the Quest Hubs.

Babylon 3000 BC - LORE

Babylon was the capital of the biggest, richest empire in all of Mobius, thousands of years ago. The city was widely known for its riches, its architecture, its advanced technology. Naturally many people wanted a part of that life. So they began flocking towards the ever growing city.

As it goes when many people come to the same city with high hopes and dreams, some ended up being disappointed. Some arrived too late. Some ended up on the streets. The City of Babylon was split into districts of different political importance and standing.

Imagine you’re an immigrant. You enter the city over a bridge towards a blue gate, bigger and more pompous than anything you’ve ever seen. But behind the gate you don’t find a comfy home and a pile of golden coins. You find a road with many doors that are locked to you. The first gate is the only one you may pass. It leads to the commoners district. A place where people work hard for their daily bread, but most are happy nontheless. Houses are so close to each other that some alleyways are hardly even wide enough to accommodate more than one person walking through them. All you see are windows, hardly ever doors. The entrances of the buildings face away from the busy street to give the residents privacy. Houses have small courtyards that connect 2 - 4 houses with each other. Neighbours cook and chat together in the courtyard. They play board games. Children play. And when night falls everyone returns into their bedrooms.  Some have even taken to living on their roofs in summer.

It’s a simple life but not a bad one.

Hidden in the shadows of the crowded commoners district however are the slums. I don’t need to explain to you what the slums are. The poor. The sick. Thieves. Murderers. The abandoned. A place almost devoid of hope.

The only thing people from these two districts have in common is their hope to one day cross the river that splits the great city in two halves.

Because on the other side lies their promised land.

The University district. - Reserved for those who have the funds and status to study languages, architecture or the arts.

The Royal district. - Reserved for the Royal Family and their staff.

The Temple district. - Reserved for the priestesses and their staff. Lead by the most beloved mortal figure in all of Babylon. The high Priestess Anatu. Which brings me to point two of this lore post:

Now it was no mistake of mine, or an attempt for a cool segway into the religion topic that I placed “Royal district” beneath “Temple district”. In fact these were sorted by their political importance.

That’s right. Babylon my be ruled by a King and his Queen. But even the King is bound to listen to the words of the High Priestess as she is the voice of the gods and thus the most powerful mortal woman in the Empire of Babylon:

Meet the high priestess Anatu:

Above her are only the Anunnaki themselves. The Gods that travelled from the stars and founded the city of Babylon.

As the high priestess she first and foremostly serves the highest of their gods who embodies the sun. You will see the flower-like symbol on her palms and her brooch. That is the god’s symbol. It represents the sun. It’s one of the symbols you will encounter quite frequently in the city. But he is not the only god.

There are three others.
Ellil who is the counsellor of the sun.
Ninurta who is the sun’s chamberlain.
and Ennugi who controls the canal.

The Sun god and his chamberlain reside in the palace on the hanging gardens, the floating island that powers the city.

OC Announcement Post

The time has come everybody! I know you’ve all been waiting for this moment. And I know you’re probably excited. But I would like to say beforehand that we got submitted almost 80 OCs. And we loved every single one of them. They were all incredible and fantastic and even if your OC is not chosen that does not mean that they’re bad. Deciding on OCs was so incredibly hard because there were only hardly a handful that didn’t fit into the game at all or that were wrongly submitted UoU But alas we had to pick and choose a select few.

I would like to sincerely thank you all for support and your enthusiasm along the way. I’m looking forward to getting to draw all your beautiful characters throughout next year. <3 And I’m more than excited for the ones that’ll already be in the demo. It’ll give the rest of you chosen ones an idea what to expect <3

For now I wish you a happy new year and let’s go!!!!

I will begin posting/reblogging the chosen ones starting tomorrow so you can all see the beautiful OCs you’ll meet in the game!

Sattk - Before the Fall Location WIPs

Here’s a collection of very early WIPs of the Demo’s locations :3
Such as a Market place buzzing with life (not in the WIP though) and also a background that is going to have a few of your OCs faces in it <3

And what is a Market without some dark shady alleyway UwU

Do you see the building to the left on the market? The one with the window in the door and the sign? That’s the “Sun’s End” guesthouse which is an important location for you <3 And once again a place where you might find some of your OCs <3

And last but not least two more backgrounds that I won’t say much about UwU

There is going to be a few more backgrounds to come but I don’t want to spoil everything <3

.~*PSA*~.

Heya guys!

I’ll make this a short PSA <3

First: We’re entering the last week where you can still submit your OCs. In case you’ve been thinking about it and were hesitating. You only have a little over a week now to show your OCs to us <3 If you’re unsure how to submit or weren’t aware we’re accepting submissions you can find everything you need to know in the FAQ that’s linked in our Blog’s description <3

The last day on which we’ll be accepting OC submissions is Monday the 31st of December!

There will be an announcement of which OCs were chosen and for which roles between the 1st and 4th of January. That also means We’ll be publishing all the beautiful OCs that were accepted into the game between those days <3

If you have uploaded your OC on your own blog and just tagged us in it and we HAVEN’T left a like on the post yet that means we haven’t seen it. Please make sure to inform us if that’s the case <3

Second: In the recent Poll you’ve chosen to see some locations you’ll get to visit in the demo, so that’s what you’ll be getting on the 24th. However for those of you who’ve voted for the other options, don’t be sad you’ll get to see these in January without fail. We also have more music to show off in January that we’re very excited about. (Namely the theme song for Jet the Hawk)

We’re also currently considering making a youtube channel for such things to keep it all in one place.

And last but not least: We want to let you all know how much your support means to us. We hope you’ll have fantastic holidays and that all your wishes for the new year come true UwU
