Wanna see what it's like to play the solo mode that comes in Everdell's base box? Here's year 1!

Despite requiring a focus on long-term strategies to maximize score, the design of Everdell is built on the understanding that, during any given player’s turn, they will only ever be able to perform one small action before turning the game back over to their opponents. This action can be as simple as collecting a given resource, acquiring a character or location card, or even completing a prerequisite for a secondary goal, but these small decisions have significant impacts on the player’s future options down the line, especially as the Season draws to a close and their actions become more and more limited.

DUDE I JUST PLAYED THROUGH THE GAME, WHY IS IT SO SADDDD😭😭😭

and why is he hot

Starling went through quite a few redesigns through the entire development process so let me talk about it a bit :3

It all started with this notes app drawing I made with my finger

Right from the start we knew his tail would be made out of tongues but figuring out how many and placed how was quite hard, I really had to girlmath my way thru

This was the first actual drawing I made of him. The story wasn't complete yet but I went ahead and designed something anyway. Here he was definitely "scarier" and his scar was also placed differently. He had gills on his neck but as you will see I changed their location to under his arms later on. We were actually considering not giving him a tongue of his own so I wanted to make his mouth terrifyingly big and empty.

Here I tried giving him bigger eyes like a fish. This was when his playful and childlike personality had started shaping as you can see from the expressions. I definitely liked this direction better but it also wasn't perfect just yet so I went ahead and did a few more changes

I slowed down on trying to figure out his design a bit after that and instead focused on how his sprite would look. He is a merman after all, he can't just stand straight like a lot of the other visual novel characters. This stage was PAINFUL.

These were the first ones I sketched, we ended up deciding we liked the 3rd one the best.

I carried that 3rd one over to another canvas and started playing around with how we could place his tail, we started entertaining the idea of having him sit on a big rock

This is when his pose really shaped up. The animated Little Mermaid movie was actually a big inspiration, I sat and rewatched the entire movie and studied how they animated her tail

And after that I finally finalized his design. We decided to change the end of his tail to be more eel like for aesthetic purposes (normal tail shape looked weird with tongues)

And for anyone wondering this is what Maelyn looked like at first. Since the story wasn't complete yet I thought it'd take place in a more modern setting and designed her with that in mind but we decided to have the story take place in 1800s so I changed the design based on that. I did a lot of research on glasses and corsets to make the design as accurate as I could.

Yes glasses! We didn't use the sprites in the main story but Maelyn does wear glasses and looks very pretty in them if you ask me. You will be seeing more of it in the bonus episodes!

Aaaa look at my sky kids by the wonderful @serene-sky-kid!

I've been sporting the buns since I got them and they inadvertently ended up on my kitty outfit so I thought of this scenario of starling helping kitty with her hair so they can match~

So glad to see Serene do the scene with this commission ❤️❤️❤️

WHAT’S NEW Everdell SOLO MODE (“Year 3”)

My year 3 of Everdell's solo mode

[maxkirin]

[Starling Games made a name for itself releasing horror games inspired by Shakespearean plays. They lived in obscurity for much of their career… until 'King Leer'.

It was their darkest, most oppressive, most macabre work to date.

And people couldn't get enough.]
