NaRPG Game Update - June 2021 (Patreon)

Hey Naddpoles! Caldwell here with a quick look at how the NaddPod game is coming along! Above I've posted the character lineup chart designed by Brooke Burnett.  This lineup will be used as the main size guide when placing the characters into backgrounds, and as a design resource for animators and artists working on the game. 

Speaking of designs, I've attached the first-ever sketch I did of the videogame versions of the Band of Boobs below! 

The main differences you'll notice is that Hardwon's beard became sharper and wider to mimic his axe, Beverly's foot tattoos got switched for the more easily-animatable cloth wraps, and Moonshine's expression got a little more mellow and easy going to reflect her hospitable nature.Once we had the designs locked in, the next step was to start animating! Keep scrolling to see the walk cycles that I animated for the BoB. I've also included some thoughts about my design process for each one.

Moonshine: Nothing phases Moonshine. Like the Crick from which she hails, her gait is smooth and carefree. 

Hardwon: I wanted Hardwon's brash, confident nature to shine through with his steps. He swings his biceps and walks forcefully to show off his trademark quads! 

Beverly:  Beverly is as plucky as they come. But the weight of his pack suggests he's got growing up to do. Also his hat is just slightly too big. 

I hope you all enjoyed this first look at the game! That's all I've got to share for now, but expect more updates soon! 

Conceptually Yours,
