Work continues on upgrading our environments and terrain into the new engine version. We've hit a bit of a snag and turned the world into Minecraft. (Don't worry, it's already almost fixed!) #monstertaming #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #rpg #KindredFates #KF #Unity #unityengine #monstercollector
We recently talked about Chime Towers and Auras. What do you think happened to this Chime Tower? #monstertaming #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #rpg #KindredFates #KF #Unity #unityengine #monstercollector
Auras are passive effects in #KindredFates that you gain through exploration, but you can only have one active at a time. What kind of Aura effects would you like to see? #monstertaming #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #rpg #KF #Unity #unityengine #monstercollector
Summer is a great time for some camping, just don't mistake Awburn for a marshmallow! #monstertaming #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #rpg #KindredFates #KF #Unity #unityengine #monstercollector

We've been testing out a new texturing method for Nyazen's model! (These aren't the actual colors) #monstertaming #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #rpg #KindredFates #KF #Unity #unityengine #monstercollector
Work on the engine upgrade has been going faster than expected! We've also found some great terrain sculpting tools which will make our world designers' job much quicker and easier than before! #monstertaming #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #rpg #KindredFates #Unity6 #unityengine #monstercollector
Who holds the title of the cutest revealed Kinfolk? #monstertaming #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #rpg #KindredFates #KF #Unity #unityengine #monstercollector
Here's a glimpse of Nyazen in the game engine! The eyes aren't glowing yet (they will!) and this is still WIP. #monstertaming #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #rpg #KindredFates #KF #Unity #unityengine #monstercollector #Cat
Are you a Nyazen, a Tadalon, or a Lumala? #monstertaming #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #rpg #KindredFates #KF #Unity #unityengine #monstercollector #bug #funny
This will be the Nyazen model's final size compared to the human. Quite a big kitty! #monstertaming #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #rpg #KindredFates #KF #Unity #unityengine #monstercollector

We're working on animations for a Kinfolk many of you may recognize! Who is it? #monstertaming #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #rpg #KindredFates #KF #Unity #unityengine #monstercollector
We added Prophect to the Beta last week! Their unique playstyle blends Light, Dark, and Mecha abilities, offering unique and interesting skill expression for all player levels. It's the most unique playstyle players have had access to so far. If you enjoy Lumala or Skulken, give Prophect a try! #KF
Look forward to a Beta patch adding Prophect as a playable character sometime in the next few days! #monstertaming #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #rpg #KindredFates #KF #Unity #unityengine #monstercollector #update
