RINSED - Devlog #14


Hello there!

This devlog is packed with pictures of the upcoming Island and should give you a great overview on what ive been working on!

First of all: A few teasers for new zones! I don't want to spoil too much but here are 2 new areas that can be found on the new island. If you don't want to spoil yourself (in the end this game is all about exploration) better scroll past this section ;)

Glow Stone Mine

The glow stone mine is where all the glowing ore is harvested that is used to power the lanterns in the world of RINSED. The Glowstone Mine is supposed to feel like a world under a world. It features its own little infrastructure (even though most of it is abandoned due to the flood). The Mines will feature many ores, maze-like corridors, and big treasures!

Blooming Forest

Most of these forest trees were chopped down by the midlandians to power their furnaces and smelters. Now, after the flood, the forest slowly but surely comes back to life!

More info about the new island and its key locations will be revealed in future devlogs!

The new (yet unnamed) Island will feature much colder weather conditions than the previous one. As I already revealed yesterday, snow will make an appearance!

Furthermore, the island's base temperature will be very cold so pack some warm clothes and don't get wet in the island's ponds and rivers!

In the upcoming weeks, the development will focus on getting as much work on the island done as I can. As soon as the key locations are finished, gameplay will be implemented. Stuff like changing the weather system and the sound manager to work differently on the new island will take some time. I can't promise anything but maybe a very early closed alpha test might happen before 2020 ends.

This is it for this week! Stay healthy, enjoy the early winter weather, and stay tuned! :)

Farmers crazy enough to grow food in the harsh conditions of the northern isles often need to use a few tricks to protect their plants! This seaside farmer has stacked lots of rocks high enough to protect his crops from the cold wind.

Working on a new ship and looking for a name! The best suggestion will make it into the game :)

Post your suggestions on here or over at our discord. A winner will be picked within the next few days!

(The name should fit into the game's world)

Just a little clip of me building a frighter ship! MONONAUTS is a little demo experiment which I made within a few days. Try it out and tell me what you think! :)

If you ever wanted to get a better/closer look at your nemesis, this is her! During development I nicknamed her "Emma"

Painted some new headers for our crafting system! Survival, Cooking, Crafting... Can you guess what image is for what category? :D

As the glow stone cave was flooded and then isolated from the outside world for a few hundred years, it developed its own unique and oddly strange flora and fauna!

Just uploaded a little prototype I made within just a few days for fun! Maybe someone will have some fun with it :)

You can built a little big ship and navigate through astroids. Thats it!

Made new Flowerpots with different variants for further decorating cities and villages! :)

Exploring uncharted Islands always comes with a risk! What creatures lurk in the dark forests? What treasures await you in the distant ruins?

Make sure to pack some soup because travelling between islands will soon come to RINSED!

Finally happy with the "indoors" part of the game! Adding a small, closed off area to the open world of the forest was challeging but worth it. Lots of enviromental story telling in this one! :)
