I have been working on some levels for Overgrowth (which you can preorder here), as well as some new huts for a rabbit village set. I think these rabbit hut models will get a lot of use, so I worked hard on making sure they looked the way I wanted them to. I have a lot of ideas already on how to expand the set, with a bunch of unique front doors and cool furniture props.

Since the level is inspired by the Lugaru challenge levels, it is pretty simple, but still a lot larger. The idea I had is that the player should have about 3 challenging things to do in this sort of level, so in this one you have two fight set-ups, and the option between two platforming style challenges.

Hopefully I will get this level released soon, because I am interested to get feedback on it!

I have been working on a few different things for Overgrowth (which you can preorder here) as I try to work out some of the smaller level design and character creation details. One of the more interesting things I have been doing is remaking Lugaru levels for Ovegrowth so we can better identify anything missing from the Overgrowth core gameplay.

I am really happy with how the levels are turning out, and I am looking forward to elaborating on some of the lessons I learned in the future.

I hope everyone had a great holiday break!
