Hometown

|

Hometown is a single-player/multiplayer co-op experience for 1-2 players. Players will have a HUB area called Hometown, where will be able to build an entire village while progressing through the main campaign. The game will feature mini-games to be played in coop mode too, so you can have some real fun with your bf, gf, best friend, etc in a Mario Party style. Other features are also planned like housing management, inventory system, etc.

Action Bar for construction mode and final Boxo model and animations

News

Construction Action Bar

A fully functional action bar for construction mode. The design has been chosen based on the previous mini-map work.

abar


All constructions can be placed in here for fast deployment on the grid. Functions like add/delete and replace are working. Delete can also be executed during exploration mode by holding LB or RB + A.

New Boxo model and animations

The new and final Boxo is here! Here we can see an illustrative image of his evolution, an in-game screenshot and a quick video showing some of his animations during exploration and construction modes (in multiplayer! ^^).

For the record, the Boxo character (this blob-like creature) is one of the playable characters. It is the one for construction. The other character, still in development, will be used for the combat/exploration side of the game.

You can also follow the development in my Twitter account.
