What do you thing of our lighting, what could we improve?

#screenshotsaturday #gamedev

We aim overall for a diorama aesthetics with relatively unsaturated colors. These are our current spring and autumn, the ends of the blue - red spectrum.

How could we make the lighting better?

What wonders could be hiding here?

We have reworked how exploration works: objects of interest are hidden unless you come close and explore.

My five-year old made a number 42 out of clay yesterday. I was impressed he was familiar with the meaning of life, universe and everything at such a young age.

Then he said: "So after your next birthday, we just change 2 into 3".

Is oldssapointed a word?

The oldest confirmed hand stencil found in Indonesia. The date is mind blowing! The symbolic revolution that brought about the development of art, conventionally date to about 50K years ago will have to be pushed back in the darkness of prehistory.

The world's oldest art has an unintentional story to tell about human exploration.

We have commissioned a 3d artist to replace all the placeholder low poly animals in our prehistoric survival culture simulation game.

Do you think this giant sloth will "slot" in our game look and feel?

These are early screenshots from our strategy game about forging a cultural identity of a nomadic prehistoric tribe.

It's not about the destination, but the friends... and foes you meet along the way.

As the sun rises over the valley, your clans awaken. The day greats you with the river's song, the scratching of claws in the undergrowth, the distant call of a mammoth.

But in the safety of the camp, the brutal world outside fades to a distant echo.

Check out our game!

Create a cultural identity, instead of military power, in a turn based strategy simulation game set in prehistory.
It Takes a Tribe is a single player strategy in which you lead a tribe of prehistoric nomads on a journey from survival to a unique tribal culture.

Will you be hunters or gatherers? Shamans or builders?

After survival is assured, the tribe will begin to develop their identity. Their own history and culture.

What will your tribe be like? What will they focus on? Tell us in comments!

In this unforgiving world, survival begins with a single question: How will your clans find food? Forage the wilds, fish the rivers, scavenge the remains or hunt the great beasts. Prepare food or eat it raw.

Each choice will shape your fate.

They ruled the ancient world and they are a part of our living ecosystem. Mammoths, giant sloths, sabertooth tigers.

To call this brutal and mythical world home, you will have to learn to live beside them.

As She drifted from the primal stillness, the First Wanderer breathed life into Titans and other ancient beings.
From their hands, the world was shaped. From Her deepest longings, a tribe was born.

It is here our story begins.

We are a small indie studio obsessed with what happens when systems collide: strategy, survival, simulation and all the stories that emerge in between.
