Very interesting. But I think, you should improve drawing instruments.

Awesome graphics! I also like the mechanic idea. Even though i am far from being good artist this game makes me feel like i am picasso :D

ariorick 2021-04-26 10:17

Gifs look awesome, wish there was an OSX version or web

Hi! I'm very proud of being a member of this scientific illustrators community. Here are my darwings from the information I could gather of those species:

First Creature: The Derpius Crawlius

Second Creature: The Happiestus Climberus

Third Creature: The Madus Big-Eyedus Nastius

My Review

That's a very fun game to play! The sound design and graphics are absolutely great and the dialogs are really well written! Can't wait to see the other drawer's creations! Awesome job bro!

solweak 2021-04-26 10:54

@sharkmax218 Hi, i keeped the instruments for drawing very minimalistic but i can't add other instruments or improve them now, as it's a compo game which only allow me to dev the game during 48h.

@the1 Glad you liked it ! What about posting your drawings to contribute for science ! :smile:

solweak 2021-04-26 12:12

@ariorick Thanks, i've built the app for Mac, i'll be glad if you can give me feedback about this version. :smile:

@solah Amazing, thanks a lot for your participation. Those drawings will be precious for the science illustrator community !

ariorick 2021-04-26 12:30

Thanks for OSX version! Art is absolutely awesome, i love limited color palletes. Everything works an looks perect, except for a line that's moving right to left in front of the drill. I think it was meant to show up only when you're first allowed to drill. Wanna make a more narrative game too next time Screenshot 2021-04-26 at 15.24.07.png

Finally, proof that monsters exists on our (well more like in) planet. People can't say I am crazy anymore !!!!!!! screen_1920x1080_0.jpg screen_1920x1080_1.jpg screen_1920x1080_2.jpg

Hello again! My gf, who appears to also be a scientific illustrator, just met with the monsters! She gave me this data: screen_1920x1080_3.jpg screen_1920x1080_4.jpg screen_1920x1080_5.jpg

2021-04-26 14_20_40-Darwings.png Not my best drawings, haha. What a cool game, though. I feel like GUI in Unity is so tedious (especially in jams) but you have managed to make it look really beautiful. All of the UI and controls are very intuitive and I love the drawing-based gameplay. Is there anything else once you've reached the bottom? Lovely atmosphere created by the monochromatic visual style and the nice ambient music -- I feel like I could listen to this while working all day. Excellent game!

"One eye and six hands"

Awesome work!

timo-strating 2021-04-26 21:04

The game looks really nice I unfortunately did not got in running properly on Linux (x)ubuntu 20.04, With the Wine emulator it showed a black screen with some white unity ui. A web or linux build would be nice, Sharing the source code is also always appreciated. Thanks for making it.

chensu 2021-04-26 23:35

Absolutely love the art style of this game, beautiful

c4scar 2021-04-26 23:59

Very cool art style and game effects! This was neat!! screen_1920x1080_1.jpg[screen_1920x1080_0.jpg](///raw/910/d3/z/3eff4.jpg)screen_1920x1080_2.jpg

kinart 2021-04-27 03:20

What a fun concept! It would be really nice to expand this out with more prompts. I loved the sound effects on the text boxes. I do with that the items you were supposed to remember we're interrupted, I was feeling the slightest bit stressed to make sure I recalled everything!

bionikmonster 2021-04-27 12:17

Wow, that's such an unsual experience! Thanks for creating this! The mood is so cool!

solweak 2021-04-27 16:01

@solah thank her for me, those data will be precious.

@ruthiepee Thanks a lot for your kind comment, there is nothing when you've reached the bottom, didn't manage my time to get a proper clear ending ahah. Your drawings are superb, i especially love the big mouth and the stuffy 3rd monster. I'm honored to have such sientific illustrators working with me.

solweak 2021-04-27 16:12

@crocodiletuesday That's a cool interpretation you got there, thank you !

@kinart Thanks! If i had more time i would had tools to create perfect circles, squares and a ctrl+Z but i wanted to keep a minimum options to not induce players to make illustrations with hours of works x). You managed to did really even from the first one without focusing on the description gg !

solweak 2021-04-27 17:30

@timo-strating Hey, I've finally be able to make the webgl build working !

redsorel 2021-04-27 18:08

It was relax. I draw the things the best i could. I love the arts, this blue tones were really good. It's really short, we reach the bottom quickly but there is no frustration in it. I had fun. Thanks!

hpa97 2021-04-27 19:37

What a brilliant game! Very beautiful and soothing ambience. I like the memory/remembering aspect of it. Here are my pictures: darwings_01.PNG darwings_02.PNG darwings_03.PNG

jlmast 2021-04-27 21:55

I missed the screenshot for the first one somehow! Anyway! For the science! Capture d'écran 2021-04-27 23.52.45.png Capture d'écran 2021-04-27 23.52.47.png

mrpouletbzh 2021-04-28 10:25

You had an incredible idea with this game, it feel so nice to see everyone sharing their own experience with the game! The only thing I could add that it was pretty frustrating to spam ctrl + z I will definitely need to come see the comments again in some days, to take a look on the next drawings :D

masaru 2021-04-28 10:30

For science I shall share my discoveries... beware of the toddler's level drawing bellow !

solweak 2021-04-28 10:34

@mrpouletbzh Yeah it's so fun to see all the drawings, i know that the lack of ctrl+z is frustrating it reminds me how i feel drawing traditionaly after drawing most exclusively digitally ^^. Thanks for your participation as well. Everyone's commitment motivates to participate myself, i will probably post my drawings once i've reached 20 ratings.

2021-04-28 12:28

Your music always hits on point. I really like the design too. I've missed the undo button but flaws make it better. The font is awesome. Great work.

yulotomorrow 2021-04-28 23:49

Didn't expect someone would make such a game! It's just relaxing and very enjoyable, the art and music is really beautiful. My only complaint is a minor bug where sometimes the brush shape is not correct, but overall really well done and well thought!

(I'm always not happy with my mouse drawing and too lazy to get my tablet so I'm not showing >_<)

ds-nahogara 2021-04-29 05:00

There's two things that i love in life.. Painting and talking to random monsters! And this game does exactly that. Very cool experiment here, i like the soundtrack and graphic style.

Fantastic game! :smiley:

asue 2021-04-29 18:25

I made the worst drawing xD Really cool game, well done!

solweak 2021-04-30 10:39

@bungalow This is a compo game but thanks for your comment ! :smile:

phlebas 2021-04-30 11:07

Awesome game!!! I dont't know it is intentional, but when showing the drawings at the end, the images where fuzzy. Anyways, those are my drawings! Screen Shot 2021-04-30 at 13.00.03.pngScreen Shot 2021-04-30 at 12.59.56.pngScreen Shot 2021-04-30 at 12.59.50.png

solweak 2021-04-30 14:30

@jonah Thanks to you ! especially for the time you spent on these awesome drawings!

@tyrannas Woah this feels so accurate to the description i made, i feel like even i couldn't be so accurate if i draw them :smile: Thanks a lot for your contribution !

itooh 2021-04-30 18:58

Such an amazing concept and execution! The game looks gorgeous, the soundtrack fits perfectly the setting, and the little sounds played on dialogs are exactly the kind of stuff I can't resist. It really creates a beautiful atmosphere, filled with tranquility and mystery. And of course, the drawing mechanic is cleverly used, and makes an absolutely unique game.

Now as for my scientific contribution: screen_1920x1080_0.jpg screen_1920x1080_1.jpg screen_1920x1080_2.jpg

flogames 2021-04-30 21:48

Interesting concept! I like the art and the music and the fact that you told kind of an interesting setting through dialogue. I also brought some drawings from the depth: creatures.jpg The tone of the illustrator's dialogue seemed a bit off at times, like being kind of rude to the creatures, other than that, good job!

i like the concept! but I'm bad at drawing

xotraz 2021-05-01 22:02

I liked the concept but drawing from description was too frustrating.

Here are my images! Such a cool game concept. Everything's felt smooth and the core experienced is polished, what an incredible jam game! I'm a BIG fan of pun in titles too.

felo07 2021-05-06 23:16

I loved the monochromatic pallete and the chilling mood. very calm music also the sound effects very chill. I did the draws but I didnt take screenshots hahaha sorry, nice game =)
