Hello friends, travelers, gnomes, and lovers of cozy, strange, tavern rpg games! I'm Rick, and I've been working on Everybody's Stranger for [spoiler]a long time[/spoiler]. And now that I'm getting closer to having a demo of the game for you to play, I wanted to start sharing fun bits and pieces of what you can expect. [h1]Pixel Art[/h1] Creating memorable pixel art animation can be just as hard as crafting a 3D-modeled scene. And, lucky for me, I found a fantastic artist to work with. He's creating all of the character animations and many aspects of the world. If you didn't know already, a single pixel art animation can sometimes have hundreds of frames. Here's Dave the Wizard, fumbling through an experiment like always: [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43695673/eab0d7918c3cc066235cd13f80fdbabac19de53f.gif[/img] And the spritesheet for it: [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43695673/fadbac87dae37a1036ee42513fbda6d229011923.png[/img] [h1]Character Showcase: Hans[/h1] [table noborder=1] [tr] [td][img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43695673/5cdcbde16dd78499e6a761cab26bffff3420f6b7.png[/img][/td] [td] [list] [*] [b]Class:[/b] Swamp Hermit [*] [b]Favorite Dish:[/b] Swamp Eel Stew [*] [b]Description:[/b] Former chicken farmer Hans moved out to the swamp to get away from city life and live amongst the eels, as he likes to say. He's a sweetheart if you manage to get on his good side. He is fascinated with swamp wildlife and the tasty grub that can come from it. [*] [b]Voice Actor:[/b] Hans is being voiced by my neighbor, Aaron, and we've had quite a fun few evenings recording his lines in the makeshift sound booth in my "studio."

In the mean time, these updates will continue both on the official [url=https://www.tyrillion.com]Tyrillion website[/url] as well as here on Steam. I look forward to sharing the making of Everybody's Stranger with you.
