Looks cool, the water have some great animations and I'm curious about what the rainbow light things are!

[Cassiebsg]

Oh dear! Looks so beautiful!

[luisdementia]

Awesome! I need this game.

[AnasAbdin]

Thanks for the kind words Cassie, luisdementia and Blondbraid! I really appreciate your support and kindness.

I'm curious about what the rainbow light things are!

I am super super super super careful about spoilers, so keep being curious

Just to tease people asking about ancient Egyptian link to the game:

[Gribbler]

Wow, beautiful water effects!

[AnasAbdin]

Thanks Gribbler it also reflects the characters

[Danvzare]

Thanks Gribbler it also reflects the characters

Really? That's incredble! And really awesome!
Although I question the sanity of anyone who is willing to put so much effort in a feature that very few will notice, and even fewer will appreciate. Though I am one of those people that will notice and appreciate it. Which is why I think it's impressive.

[AnasAbdin]

Thanks Danvzare
I've always loved those little details. Time consuming but great results

[Slasher]

That pool water looks fab

Keep up the great work mate...

[SilverSpook]

Yeah, +1 on the great looking water effects   Not sure how you do it but sounds like some serious work!

I can see why you asked the question on Blue Cup Tools about how, when, and where it's best to go back and redo old art from a game when you reach the end of production, since the dev will tend to improve their skills over the course in a one-man-band setting. 

Personally, I might even do a second game or re-release at a later date if it's already commercial.  Wasn't Technobabylon basically a game that took many years to make and was worked and reworked and most of the art redone (with help from Wadjet Eye) before the final commercial release?  But then, it was redone by other artists as I understand it.

I definitely can see the improvements over the life cycle of Tardigrades though.  I guess it ultimately comes down to personal goals, time constraints, etc... I was about to throw my game out into whatever Steam, gamejolt, itch without even fully completing and voicing it due to absolute time/finance hard-limits.  But that was just me.  Anyways, great job!

Beautiful art.

[Blondbraid]

The latest screenshot looks lovely, an I'm seriously impressed with the water effects!
The importance of good graphics can never be underestimated.
Ancient Egypt in space, you wouldn't happen to be a fan of Stargate?

[AnasAbdin]

Thanks all for the kind words
I use a combination of 3 software to achieve the water effect the way I want it to look. Anyone interested please PM me i will gladly go with a step by step personal tutorial

Blondbraid: who is not a fan of STARGÅ TE?

[Feenyx]

Hey there! Definitely gorgeous graphics there! And I love where this is all going! Can't wait to play this game! Keep up the good work!

[Fitz]

I might apply for the private course in water f/x at some point -- as you probably noticed I'm busy gamedeving again Oh and yes, gorgeous structure indeed!

[AnasAbdin]

Thanks Feenyx and Fitzy!

Ever wonder why it takes me forever to complete a project? Answer: ANIMATIONS!

and you guys are interested a lot in the water effects forgetting that ancient Egyptians were masters with lights and shadows:

[luisdementia]

Amazing. I like this game a lot. Can't wait to play it.
