We’re finally back with the diary and we’re really proud of it. Here are our developments this week;
Hello! I am Batuhan, the creative director and game designer of the team.
We will finally begin sharing the development diary with you today. Because this is the first diary, we’d like to tell you a little bit about ourselves and where we’re at in the project.
Metagalaxy Land, a browser-based 4X strategy game, is in the works. You can control your planet as a Space Cowboy or explore the galaxy as a Space Pirate in this galaxy! Its narrative concept is similar to the “Age of Discovery.” Humanity has begun to colonize the unknown vastness of space with the discovery of Faster-Than-Light travel! There are numerous planets to claim, as well as numerous ancient secrets to unearth.
We want Metagalaxy Land to be a game with its own universe. A universe with its own economy, rules, and laws, as well as its own history. We hope to see you on a regular basis throughout and after our adventure!
For our first development diary, I’d like to discuss The Imperial Herald, the tutorial character who will teach you the ins and outs of Meta.
I wanted to explain a few design decisions we made for her. We have given her a long skirt and a cape, spreading in a circular fashion to symbolise the creation of roots spreading out to the galaxy.
Her rectangular, bottom-heavy cape provides structure as well as an air of power and stability. She has a slim, exquisite body because she is the Emperor’s voice, and she is dressed in the finest fabrics of the Empire’s regal colors, such as purple, blue, gold, and red, to stand out and gleam. Her hair is neatly arranged into a bun (or two) to give her a professional and collected appearance. She wears a collar to give her a more corporate appearance. To give off a sense of her fiercer side, we used supplementary lines and shapes to create a triangular flair. A majestic position to show off the Empire’s splendor.
We hope you will learn more about her and the Empire in the near future.
This is just part of the work, please keep in mind that this design will evolve and change.
