The rainbow parrots 🦜 - one of the few animals that support your cause against the fox-tyranny:


One of the first other animals that you encounter after your escape are the rainbow-parrots. Their quirky attitude has led to others underestimating them, which gave them the opportunity to develop relatively undisturbed.

Decades ago, they prouded themselves of large castle-nests, filled with heaps of treasure, "borrowed" from other civilizations. Despite that they were mainly well regarded as they would help out other creatures in dire situations. 🏰

Nowadays, there exist but a few rare examples of this once numerously existing species. They may share their wisdom with you!

Experience spheres 📘

Can you spot the blue spheres? They give you experience points that will let you grow your character! Melee combat = more risk but higher reward!

A first look at a new game prototype! Over the last days: multiplayer, building stuff, and cheetahs chasing you. Sticking to core mechanics first is tough, had to stop myself from going all-in on art and sound too soon!

Controller support 🎮

This week, we added support for controllers (Xbox, PS4)!

The tooltips update automatically to let you know how to use the controls. Feels like the controls fit the game very well, and are excellent for platforming. 🦘

At the core of the game is the rabbit AI. 🐰

They make plans and find the best way to interact with the tools that you have provided and the given resources in the environment...

The materials you get from dismantling weapons or boxes can be used to repair old buildings, such as the mill!

The mice from the mill will distract any hungry critters nearby 🐭🍞

Building and tools 🏠

What would a good rabbit civilization be without infrastructure and a wide range of tools? ...

Feathers 🪶🪶

The characters now finally have reached the fluffyness they were intended to have!

Materials ⚙️

After several playtests it has become clear that there are a lot of items cluttered on the ground - you can now dismantle them and use the materials as a resource! Let's keep our town tidy 🧹

Building a level:

This week, we blocked out a level, tested it and then filled it with more beautiful environmental assets!

Players can really learn the core of the game here and prepare for battle. This is iteration 2/3 until it is added to the game!
