Sewers Splash | Patreon Weekly #177

Hey Patrons, in this weekly I’m to share one of the new region splash arts that might be coming in v2.0.0!

Also, next week’s weekly will have an audio Q&A segment! Feel free to ask questions either here or on the Patreon discord.

Sewers Splash!

A few months ago, I got an email from Aleks asking if I was interested in doing more work with him. After some ideating back and forth, we settled on adding some environmental splash art! These splashes are planned to appear during the level transitions and will likely also appear when the player first enters a region and sees the usual lore text. Landscape users would see the entire art at once, while portrait users would get to see a particular slice of the art that would be different each time.

Here's a finished copy of the splash art for the sewers!

I’m very happy with how it turned out, it’s suitably bright and green for the sewers (two things which aren’t really present in other regions) and includes a lot of nice environmental details which match or extend what is already in game. Please let me know what you think!

I actually shared this splash with Shattered Supporters a couple of months ago. If you’re curious, there’s also a completed version of the prison and metropolis splash available in the most recent Shattered Secrets, though I will eventually share them in a weekly too. These splashes aren’t currently slated for any update in particular, but there’s a strong chance that they will be ready for v2.0.0.

I also gave that presentation at Roguelike Celebration yesterday! There were some audio hiccups, unfortunately, but otherwise things went very well! The celebration team will have a separate video for each talk eventually, but for now if you want you can listen to the talk as a part of the stream VOD here: https://youtu.be/vPPE6XapN-Y?t=15464
