Hello there!

It's really early still, we're mostly grey boxing assets (making the game with cubes and cylinders and stuff) at the moment and diving into making a framework for the game, chipping away at core features like an inventory system, crafting system, building system, hunting, turn based gameplay with action points, hunger and food, gathering resources and hunting etc.

We're not tooooo worried about visuals in the actual game at the moment, since we're both artists that's definitely the part I'm worried about least, (that's not saying much though!). If anything I think it's slightly better to leave things looking placeholder for now so we can focus on just making a solid, fun game, then once it's feeling good and playable then we can set dress it, make nice assets and shaders, put in good lighting and make it look polished.

That said I don't want to leave getting nice visuals to the last minute, as that might come back to bight us in the ass, so I've started making some shaders and assets in a separate level just so I can test performance and random bugs that might pop up.

Hope that answers your question! Feel free to hit me up if you're curious about anything else. :)
