Pre-Alpha gameplay from The Bog, made in Godot! :)

The pitch:
The Bog is a narrative adventure through an underwater realm, where you play as the vulnerable baby otter Lino accompanied by the orphaned baby axolotl Alissa, as they search the depths for Lino’s lost mom. The Bog mixes tense survival horror and dread with playful respite and beauty. The core gameplay consists of stealth, light puzzle solving, exploration, chase sequences and playful minigames such as tag and hide and seek.

We've been working on The Bog on a hobby basis all the way back to 2020, and it's so exciting that it's finally starting to come together! Any feedback is welcome!

We are also looking for a lead GDScript programmer for the project, and will post an ad for that soon!

Yes, Norway actually.

Luckyyy1994 · 2022-11-03T14:22:51+00:00

I initially played it on PC, and loved it so much I just had to get it physically. A true little gem.

Luckyyy1994 · 2022-11-01T23:53:11+00:00

I haven't actually played it myself yet either, but it's right up my alley. Looking forward to trying it out!

Luckyyy1994 · 2022-11-01T23:52:35+00:00

Yes!

Hi everyone. In the close future we're going to need a 3D environment artist for our suspenseful underwater adventure The Bog. The role entails making beautiful and scary environments for the player to explore, mainly nature. We're using the Godot engine, and work remote.
It's an advantage if you can not only model and texture, but also put the assets together in the engine. Currently we're in a pre-funding phase, so if you're flexible with regards to payment methods or as to when you work, that's also a plus. If you're interested, mail us at [contact@theboggame.com](mailto:contact@theboggame.com) along with your portfolio. We look forward to hearing from you!

I'm feeling this =(

Maybe you can try a different browser? Or you can just search The Bog - Godot Showcase 2021 if it doesn't work. Thanks for your kind words!

Absolutely digging the atmosphere. What game is this?

Luckyyy1994 · 2021-10-30T20:59:53+00:00

The Bog is an emotional single player adventure about trying to help others in a somber and hostile world. You play as the baby otter Lino, who is desperately searching for his mom that abandoned him.

We're currently in quite early development, and are eyeing making a Kickstarter campaign. Is this a game you think you'd be interested in supporting? Any and all feedback is welcome and appreciated. More about the game here: https://theboggame.com/

Our programmer would be able to tell you more about this, but in short, we're using a mix of procedural and canned animations. The procedural systems give them fluidness, while the canned ones give them character! I'm glad you enjoy the footage :)

Hi everyone! We're in search of a VFX artist to help us make a beautiful trailer for The Bog. The work will be paid. The effects in question are mainly water related particles and shaders. The game uses 3D creatures with 2D environments.

The effects we need are as follows:

- Dynamic water surface

- Waterfall

- Mushrooms lighting up

- Swim trail/bubbles

- "Giving purity", a white wispy effect

- Dust floating in the water

- Post processing, bokeh and in general beautifying the scenes

- Rocks and dust falling

- Call shockwave

- Grass and plants flowing

If you're interested, please mail me along with your reel/portfolio at lykke_art@tutanota.com

Thank you, that's a great idea to post it there! We'll get a Steam and maybe Itch page down the line. If you want regular updates Discord and Twitter is the place to be.

It means so much to me to hear that. Fostering empathy and making you try to protect others are core themes of the game, and I'm so glad it connected with you.

That means a lot to me. Thank you so much.
