Seedworld Dev Update #1

The Start of a New Era

Seedworld's First Dev Update

Hi everyone,

Today, I'm excited to start a new chapter with you all!

Behind the scenes, our team has been pouring heart and soul into crafting something special. Now, it’s time for me, your dedicated scribe, to pull back the curtain and share our progress.

Every two weeks, I'll share a new chapter of our journey, taking you through the ins and outs of developing our game. You can look forward to new features, more art, and a game that evolves with your input.

Welcome to Seedworld's biweekly Dev Update—where together, we'll create magic, one update at a time.

About Seedworld

For those who might be new here, Seedworld is on a mission to revolutionize user-generated content (UGC) gaming by merging it with real-world economy and RPG elements, a blend rarely seen in the industry.

Our aim is to create a unified world where players can dive into infinite experiences crafted by others, emphasizing social gaming without being confined to it.

Art Update

_{Art disclaimer: Heads up, all the art shared below is still work-in-progress.}

Ancient Temple Ruin

Our art team has been crafting environments that tell a story, starting with the Ancient Temple Ruin. This piece of Seedworld is more than just a location; it's a narrative, inviting explorers to uncover its history and mystery.

Grassland Biome

Capturing the essence of the Grassland Biome has been a creative challenge. Sure, you've seen grasslands in classics like Zelda and Pokémon, but we're on a mission to make ours unforgettable.

It's all about adding those special Seedworld touches that turn familiar sights into fresh adventures.

Junkyard Scavenger Shop

The Junkyard Scavenger Shop in Seedworld isn't your typical storefront. It's the hidden gem where savvy players find their treasures.

Forget the shiny shops downtown; our scavenger shop is where the magic happens. It's a place where the overlooked becomes valuable, and every item has a story waiting to be part of your adventure.

This shop is a reminder that in Seedworld, adventure and discovery go hand in hand, and sometimes the most valuable treasures are hidden in plain sight, waiting for the right explorer to uncover their potential.

I couldn’t have skipped sharing a sneak peek of the modelled scavenger shop, of course! Check it out:

New Mount in the Making

Who said rats can't be awesome? Our Rat mount is here to change minds. It's not just a way to get around; it's a statement.

From a simple sketch to a fully rigged 3D character, this little adventurer is all about speed and stealth. Don't let its size fool you; The Rat is your ticket to zipping around Seedworld with style and a bit of cheeky fun.
