The god of war and death is a living flame rising from a sacrificial pyre. The Wrath Infernal is enrobed and crowned in flames, with three fiery eyes representing life, death and sacrifice. #conceptart by Jacqueline Manherz #indiegame #wheatandwrath

Wheat and Wrath has a raider character now!

Character concept for The Raider. Why would they grow their own wheat when they could steal yours? Follow us for more on the upcoming Wheat and Wrath strategy game. #indiegame #indiegamedev #conceptart #wheatandwrath

In a magical world of straw people, they need a constant supply of wheat to re-stuff their bodies. Some farm their own wheat - others raid and steal it from the farmers. These are the Raiders. And here is some of the early #conceptart ideas. Which one is your favorite?

The Grain Father god concept art for our upcoming game Wheat and Wrath. You want his favor so your soil stays fertile so you can grow a lot of wheat. #conceptart #indiegame #indiegamedev

Meet Plowfather Edran, a religious leader you need help from to build your village, but is also a key adversary in Wheat and Wrath.

Watch the progress of Wheat and Wrath's main villager. From #conceptart to 3d render. This will be one of the straw people inhabiting your civilization.

The #gameart of Wheat and Wrath has been developing promisingly. We’re aiming to have a very artistically unique game feel.

Recently, we've been storyboarding a core gameplay loop for Wheat and Wrath, something that will help direct development. We wanted to show it off!

Everything begins with Wheat. Grow food → feed your villagers → free up workers.

More #conceptart for Wheat and Wrath is here! These rough sketches are of potential prophets to the god of harvest, who we are calling Plow Fathers. They all look very mysterious, but 5 is our favourite so far. What do you think?

The #conceptart keeps rolling in for Wheat and Wrath! Check out these amazingly whacky rough sketches for the scarecrow villager homes. We love 2, 3, 4, and 6 - with the idea that these folks like to live in round homes. It makes them feel cozy. What do you think?

Here's the final concept of our Woven straw villager who you will be managing in Wheat and Wrath and I think it looks amazing.

Only problem, we still don’t have a name for our character.
Any ideas for a name?👇 I’d love to hear them.

It rises in their name…
In progress build animation for the War Temple in wheat and wrath. I think I like how they parts fall into place.
Let me know what you think!

A step in creating concepts for our Woven straw people for Wheat and Wrath, is to choose a colour palette. From there we move on to a final concept rendering.

Which color scheme do you like the best? And what should we name this fella?
