August 2021 Post

Greetings again! Back for the first post, it's honestly quite exciting as I'm typing this! I'm really pumped to share with all with you!  So, without further ado, lets begin shall we?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let’s start with something we've heavily shared topics before of!   A while ago we posted image of Tabdood making concepts of our first area, Blossom Boulevard! We wanted to hit a small town vibe but sticking to the general vibe of Vast Forest & Playground, but I will mention that Blossom Boulevard will not be as large as Vast Forest in any capacity.  Personally, I felt Vast Forest was empty at times and just felt boring to explore, being a generic forest area. We're hitting a small-town feel, sort of like Faraway but much more on the nose this time instead of just the playground in the dream world.   (I'll just refer to the area as BB to make things easier for me lol) BB will have a small village inside of it, a fully explorable town with many NPCs to interact with in the full game. One goal I have in mind with HIKKI is to make Side Quests much more rewarding than just an item or currency, giving the player a much bigger reason to explore the world we'd be crafting, I can't say a whole lot right now, but it could add a new fun twist to the battle system.  We do have something in the making that will be hopefully released this month! It’s something we’ve been working on ever since the first video went up on YouTube. I can’t wait for you all to see it when it comes out, I’ll show a little bit of what we have in store! But before I get ahead of myself,  GETAWAY is our replacement of Whitespace, being more ahem “”tropical”” (can a area devoid of life be tropical?) to fit Mari’s personality a little bit more than the isolation of Whitespace. Mari is a social person, being the mom of the group she’s the one to usually lead the gang of kids on their adventures! So we picked the beach as the ideal setting, being partly relaxing but yet so, uncomfortable. 

Here’s a little teaser of what we have in store for next time…. 

Now enough about some basics of HIKKI, lets touch into some art of HIKKI!

I’m sure you’re all familiar with our redesigns for Dream World, Sunny having a much more casual look, while Kel gained a much more beachy look! A vibe the artists landed perfectly for the character designs is a vacation feel. To give a sense of adventure with your friends!

On another note!

HIKKI will be getting an official French and Castilian Spanish translations out the gate!

We’re super excited to announce that HIKKI will be supporting multiple languages, one of the biggest things we want for HIKKI is for it to be as accessible as possible for everyone! Once the Demo of HIKKI is released, we’ll allow fan translations of HIKKI to be made and we’ll put them in the mod! 

Well, that’s all I had for the first post, not a whole lot as of right now, but I assure you, the next one will be jam packed with much much more! See you all on Twitter, Insta, our Discord server and here next month!! Chao!

Thank you all so much!

Greetings everyone, Ohm speaking! I just wanted to thank everyone so much on your support for mine and my teams passion, HIKKI! Thinking back to the beginning of HIKKI, we didn’t think we’d get this far nor get this much support from the OMORI community, and I just wanted to say thank you all so much. Now, onto the deets. This page will mostly not be a very interactive page, mostly just for me sharing updates about how HIKKI is doing and what I want to share with you all. If you want to share art with us, please do so on our Twitter and Insta page (@hikkiteam)! If you don’t have any of those, don’t worry, I’ll still most likely see it!

I'll try my best to have a consistent posting date of these blogs, but it'll be in the ballpark of the first week of each month. If I can't make a post that month, I'll make sure to have one next month. Be prepared to see concept art, music, map progress, game play concepts, and maybe some story details!!

Can't wait to share what we are doing in depth with you all soon!! Ciao!
