Long time no update! (1/2) I’ve made a whole bunch of art and assets that my team has implemented in. Some cutscene stuff, new dialogue portraits, Bonnette’s room, and so many trees!! 🌲 #PerfectSoupGame #IndieDev #Gameart #GameAssets #StudentGame

A brief introduction of #PerfectSoupGame 🌟🥣 It’s VERY early in development but I wanted to share because I think there will be opportunities for collaboration and community input as time goes on🫶🏻 #indiegame #Gamedev #wip #devlog #indiegamedev #cozygame #gameart #gameassets

Another update: Testing how the new 2D Environment assets I drew fit together! Plus some platforms. They blend really well- This game is starting to look reallllyyyy prettyyyyy 😁 #PerfectSoupGame #GameAssets #IndieGameDev #WIP

Good soup. 🥣

Introducing Bonnette! Our NPC who is the reason we are on a quest around the world. While sick in bed she wishes upon a star for the perfect bowl of soup, thus bringing Juno the star into existence. Plus a character portrait of Juno being excited- #gamedevelopment #gamedev

Cursed Rigging moments from when I accidentally imported the limbs too large😭😭🙏🏼

Prototype gameplay of Perfect Soup! Dialogue system is implemented- Art and Animation will be added later, but it’s very fun to zip around with stretchy arms! And fun trail effect!! 🌟 #gamedev #IndieGameDev

Update: They have names now, Aurelia and Nora! Also have some UI design. In game you can open your recipe book to look at NPCs you have yet to interact with and ones that you have met! Keep track of them and their quests all in one place :) #GameAssets #gamedev #gameui

Some concept art of two of our main NPCS! These are 2/4 of our Soup Lords who have a complicated relationship w another. Perhaps you will help resolve it? (historians will say they were best friends😍) #CharacterDesign #Lesbians

Just reserving the username for now- will post some concept art for our game later and will hopefully use this account to document our development journey throughout the year. A bit about the team, we are 4 students from DePaul University and this is our capstone game! 🥣
