Greetings Outlander,
The last two weeks we’ve been focusing on moving our remaining maps into the detailing and lighting stages, and continuing UI improvements. Today we’ll share with you some of our additions to the Outlander’s Journal, and more Item Pickup Icons.Sketching in Outlander’s Journal
The Journal is a place to store information based on the Outlander’s findings in the old world. The Outlander records information about the new weapons, enemies, and environments that they discover. Here are some detailed studies of one of the monsters - the Brute - on their way to the pages of the Journal.
Pickup Icons
Last time we showed you some of our new pickup icons. Here is a further selection of these little pieces of pixel art. First, we have the complete set of artifact icons, for when the Outlander collects these exotic powerups. From left to right and top to bottom they are: Vicious Animus, Shockwave, Mark of Revelation, Drowner’s Apparatus, Flask of Rage Cruel Aegis, Orb of Deflection, Life Siphon, Void Grenade, Confounding Attar.
Below is an assortment of other item icons, including: keys, health, ammunition, and some stranger things. The cat’s eye on the bottom row is an update of the icon shown when a secret is discovered, and it matches with the bizarre metal symbol on the top row of artifacts.
