December News: 🎨 Cozy Sketches! And Happy Holidays! 💝

Hi friends!
 As we’re fast approaching the end of the year, we want to share 🎨a little peek behind the curtains to show you what our artists have been up to! [b]🎨Dev Update[/b] Since our little break in October, we’ve been making really good progress on the development side and cannot wait to show you more soon! For now, we have asked our lead artist Carmen to share what the art department has been working on the past few weeks: "What is the best way to set up an environment for a game such as Cat Cafe Manager 2? Go outside for inspiration! For the environments of Cat Cafe Manager 2, Esmeé and I took our sketchbooks, and went out and about to look for inspiration. We visited Gouda and Utrecht, two authentically Dutch cities with rich histories and cozy vibes. Esmeé and I sketched and photographed several streets, squares, shops, and cafes there to capture that big city bliss. Besides these bustling cities, we took our bike to the Reeuwijkse Plassen to get a glance at what nature looks like just outside the city."
