Hi everyone We'd like to invite you on a trip through the development process of Harmony's Odyssey and all the funny & weird stuff that was created along the way. Some of these ideas are already implemented in the game, some of them are just rough sketches or simply our artists having fun - which is absolutely crucial for all games with cats.

Characters

Starting with the main protagonist - Harmony. We wanted to emphasise her go-ahead character mixed with lots of empathy and willingness to help others - because it's absolutely cool to help others.
Now what would a clever little wizard like Harmony need to work her magic and help our lost mythical fellows? The broom! We also played a bit with those and picking up just one was quite a challenge!
While working on Harmony's Odyssey and sharing all the wholesome and funny stuff online, we noticed that you - our players - fell in love with the selfie penguins and dragonmice. Check out some of the early work in progress of these guys:

Now who's the guy with magnifying glass all wrapped in mystery? Presenting the always suspicious Detective Mummy!
One of the first characters we revealed was the mermaid. Always looking glamorous and chilling in the pool, she likes to put her tail up and just relax:
How about the big guys? Apart from knowing how to play the ball, Bulls Football League members need to pack muscle. Check out the Minotaurs and Centaurs representing the opposite teams:

Level design and architecture

Here is one of our favorite levels - the Museum Park. We enjoyed working on this part and hope you noticed some cultural references we were inspired by:



Other level that really stands out is the Airport, inspired by ancient architecture and symbols:

Harmony's Home is a very important part of the game, that we wanted to make as cozy and inviting as possible. Below, you can check some of our super early ideas on this magical space:

You can also see that the screen showcasing the progress and all the unlockables also came a looong way thanks to this doodle-sketch:
That's a wrap for now! If you would like to see some more artworks, concepts and drawings from our talented team, please join our Discord channel, where we're sharing even more early works: https://discord.gg/e69WDgdbKW
