Hey there, come to see the first animal in detail and sample the decorative blocks from Builder tier.

Godillo - the first animal close-up

In last week's Q&A video you found out that each type of animal will be unique in its behavior, that Planet Nomads will have herding animals as well as their natural predators, all interacting with each other. Our artists have modeled quite a few animals already, and the reason you haven't seen them around much is because we are not satisfied with how they looked (so instead of ending here, they were sent back to design boards). This one finally starts to feel like it touches the quality worthy of Planet Nomads. Let us introduce godillo, whose plates might very well serve as a source of valuable material for armoring up.

Animals pigmentation depends on the environment they grow up in, so they can better fit in. Sighting them in a specific environment will feel more natural this way. A small differentiation that will add variety, can mark the animal's gender, change based on the animal's position in the food chain (camouflage) and also pack hierarchy (think alpha males - big, vibrant, menacing). Color is not the only thing that can change (more on this in our September blog post).

Builder Tier Decorative Blocks

Some of you asked what are the decorative blocks from the Builder Tier. We realized too late that this is the exact situation in which we should show, not tell. So we're making up for that with four examples. Can you spot the difference?

The campaign has slowed down a bit in the past few days, following the usual pattern of most Kickstarters, but it certainly doesn't mean we are slowing down. Work on Planet Nomads is in full throttle and you may look forward to meeting the main character on Thursday.

Thanks for being with us during this Kickstarter. It is a big moment of Planet Nomads development.



Take care for now.
