Look, for a game where Cami steals colour by licking random objects... The toilets were never off limits.
Our Discord community asked for toilet pics. Who are we to deny the people? Sometimes, a dog has to get a "leg up" on a town that's done them dirty. So, here's some bathroom concepts planned for Isle of Dogs. 👇Join the DeTails Discord: discord.gg/qeRNnpCp8q #indiegame #art #digitalart #gameart
UNDERWORLD DEATH METAL🦇 Inspired by Camden's Underworld gig venue... No invite needed. Basement set. Just "drop" in. #indiegame #narrative #punk #underworld #livemusic #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #camden
