It took us a while until we finally discovered who he actually is and how he looks like. When Matthias and Felix came up with the idea of Father the first time, they compared him to Morla, the old tortoise from “The Neverending Story”, sitting in some kind of nest located at the heart of the factory. But we didn’t have a real clue, how this would work out, until Hernan (one of our new graphics guys) did a quick sketch which he then polished. Maria finally did the 3D game model and brought this new character to life. She redesigned and animated the head and drew some really nice textures.

We’ve been incredibly busy introducing new members to the team, writing guidelines and developing organisation tools. The project is more alive than ever, it’s just harder to tell from the outside. So apart from all this under the hood stuff, we’ve pushed CLARK’s game design further and filled in a lot of blank spaces on the map.

These images show mood sketches for the wasteland theme I did while the others weren’t watching (since I need to build about a ton of game relevant assets at the moment, doing scribbles like this was almost procrastination …)

Tell me what you think!

Cheers, Felix

First Attempt at Box Shotting

We have now submitted CLARK to IndieDB, a platform that supports indie games and allows us to share our development process with the community. Let’s see whether their admins accept our stuff. The platform is also great for discovering other cool indie projects. Update: Great, we are in. The guys at IndieDB already authorized us.

Just have a look >>
