New Dev Diary on being a Sneaky Bastard in Godzone 6. The Godzone is full of mutants whose main aim seems to be to kill you. One way around this is to kill them first. Another is to hide and hiding is the topic of this dev diary where we explore another way you can play the game.

Ben Lee's Evolution of the Pik-vlee: It was originally named the Squeaker by Jon, as he'd envisioned a rat. I've had to kill way too many rats in early levels of games over the years and wanted to make it something more mutated and gross. This was the initial design we prototyped, the Kweek.

Here are all the stages of getting an enemy into Godzone 6. In this case, a Natik. Our art director Ben Lee uses procreate to draw all the 2d assets in the game, then export to photoshop for coloring and export.

5 images in a sequence from left to right.
Each demonstrates a stage of development for the in game enemy sprites in Godzone 6.
1. Original sketch - of the 'Natik' a mutant in a pointy hooded sleeveless monk like robe, rope around waist and big spiked metal gauntlets.
2. Animation Pencils - blue sketched line work
3. Animation inked lines - Pencils are cleaned up and inked in black with some minor edits like the rope belt centered.
4. Sprite Coloured and exported for the in game shader, - RGB-CMY colours are used to give clean recolouring through the ingame shader.
5. Rendered in game - the original design now finished in the game with purple flesh and green robes.

There are many ways to conduct combat in Godzone 6. Melee, ranged, ambush from above, hacking environmental systems, running control programs or just mutating into a complete monster.

Godzone 6 has a few different mutations you can choose to help your way through the horrors. Find the right mutations and equipment for your play style in this First-Person Mutator.
