Concepts

Wave Riders

Some concepts for the game -  On top, a chase sequence involving the many perils faced at sea. Here the crew are chased by a Gulper fish towards a European Sailor Whale - is he friend or foe?

The day-to-day chores on board the Barnacle. 1: Catch Otto, he nevers wants to do any work.
2: Load the precious cargo of dried coconut husks 3: Feed them to Diesel, the ships friendly engine - dont get too close, he breathes fire. Repeat.

Turnaround, brighteyes!

This is an old turnaround for Amanda, with a much simpler, graphic look. Dig the stripey socks.

Feeling Plush?

Ah Bless! An old Otto plushie. Skillfully rendered by Mark Flood's mum. Great Job! And joining him, the famous Captain Fred, captured here with his favourite pokeball, courtesy of the talented Niamh Brennan.

Subs

Some concept designs of the S.P.U.D, (subaquatic-propelled-underwater-diving wotsit) that the crew of the Barnacle use to explore beneath the waves. It's powered by pedaling really fast, and is about as maneuverable as a stone. It also leaks from when Otto crashed it into a large clam.

SPOILER ALERT. This is an extract from an early version of the puzzle document for the first episode "The Mystery of the Werecod" (working title) We've fleshed out and reworked some of the puzzles since this but it gives a good idea of what we want the game to be like.

Here's a rough pass of Amanda running. I'll post the finished run soon.

Here's some concepts for the new Otto. He's gone through a lot of redesigns but I think we're nearly at a design we're happy with!
