Skystead Progress

We are very excited about the progress we have been making, both with the game's development and the new, significant steps we are taking to promote Skystead Ranch! Progress has continued on the Creatures AI, which we have decided to call "Skylets" - A name we find both fantastical and adorable! Alongside this is the Field Guide, which will be a large part of the game flow, a book the player has in order keep updated records on the wonders and behaviours of the various skylets they encounter! Here is a sneak peek of the Field guide in progress - this is still very early development and so the finished result will look much different to what you see here, but the premise will be the same - the more you discover about each particular skylet, you will gather more information and images for the guide!

Player Character

A new thing for us here at ToastieLabs, is our very own player character for you to play as! With the skills of our artist Jack, and the brainstorming of the rest of the team - we have come up with this player character and begun creating the 3D model to use in engine. See if you can spot all the little details we have considered for the game needs in these 3D renders! Full textures and animations are still a work in progress.
