Naïca - Pixel art MMORPG on mobile and PC

[FraZM]

 Hi everyone !

I'd like to introduce to you the project I'm working on called "Naïca" : as you read in the title it is a video game on mobile blending pixel art and MMORPG 2D !

Naïca is developed on Unity and designed/animated on Aseprite and we aim to have the smoothest possible animations. The story is being created right now (we are more focused on gameplay/animation/design) so I can't tell you much about it except it will take place on a medieval world full of cristals with different races of animals and humans living together.

Some gif/pictures (it gets bigger and BIGGER) :

I'll keep updating this topic for more informations/visuals and we also have a Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/naicaonline/) and a Twitter account (https://twitter.com/NaicaOnline) if you are interested ! The website of Naïca is now available at this adress (https://naicaonline.com/) and you can register to participate to the tests ! Don't hesitate to shoot any questions

Small update : We began to work on the level design of Naïca ! Can't wait to see it in "real" and show it to you For the characters & the animations expecially the attacks (only the fox has been animated thus far that's why you'll see him a lot !).

We keep working on the User Interface and some of the spell's visuals are going to be reworked. Also the map of the playtest will soon be finished for the playtest ! We'll share with you more visuals very soon : don't hesitate to follow us on Twitter / Facebook and join our Discord !

First visual of the map Arena for the playtest : what do you think of it ?

It's rather high-contrast, I didn't spot the character right away because of that.

Part of the problem is that the character isn't very eye-grabbing. Have you considered using slightly more saturated colours for the fur, and having shadows that aren't so dull-looking (more hue-shifted)?
