WIP #28 - Base Map Finished!! (Patreon)

Ahoy, my lovely Seekers!

When it comes to Soulgasm development, there are a few milestones so big and demanding that makes us stop for a moment, look back and say: DAMN! That was CRAZY!

With its 12288 by 7032 pixels of carefully designed and painted areas, the map of our game so happens to be one of those! This is why we wanted to proudly present a few closeups and plans for the future when it comes to it!

I believe this was the biggest pieces I've ever worked on, and it was achieved greatly thanks to the help of Sharkira, the extraordinaire artist in our team. The colors she manages to pull and improve from the first idea--I tell you, she is incredible!

To be honest, now looking at it put together, I feel that all the time and corrections we went through to get to this stage were absolutely worth it. The share amount of detail on every single plant, structure, asset and tree is crazy. I think it was all worth it.

But you know what's the best part? Most of these assets are made in different layers, being future-proof for the next versions, where we are looking forward to work on many improvements for the map itself and making your experience and immersion much better!

Some of those improvements are related to animations, SFX, music, etc. And some other improvements we are still looking forward to work in the future are directly related to a better layout of the house and map itself, so you can understand what and where is happening!

Let us not forget that we are also working on different versions of the map so you can spot more easily what time of the day it is and the events that will appear depending on the clocks! Though we are still working on those, we have some sketches we wanted to share with you for a while!:

🔼Some events shall be night-only, maybe you need to be sneaky? Maybe something takes place when the Sun can't reach the shadows? Who knOoOoows!!👀👀👀

Still a long way to go, but we are so happy and thrilled to see such amount of progress unfolding in front of our eyes. Even though it is taking some time, everything is steadily coming together! And we are all in for it!! 🥰🥰🥰

A few closeups where if you pay enough close attention you can spit the very strokes I painted while screaming for help while losing my sanity ✨🔮✨:

❤️🖼️ If you want to decor your desktop, I've attached a 4K wallpaper version for you! 🖼️❤️

Honestly, I feel exceptionally lucky of being able to make our small but colorful world come to life, and it is all thanks to your incredible help and support!! We wouldn't be able to make something like this happen otherwise.

Thank you, my Seekers! For making this possible, and being there no matter what ❤️❤️❤️

We promise you we won't give up; we won't stop until this adventure of ours is over, and we can jump to the next one. We will make a perfect, beautiful world for you to explore, and let me tell you: the spirits aboard the ThatWasHot ship have never been this high!!

FOR MUCH, MUCH MORE PROGRESS!!
YAAARGGG!!! 🍻🍻🍻

Yer Cap'n ❤️❤️❤️
