- Sons of Ra Devlog - December - 22 December 2020
Hello hello hello! Last weekend, we held our first ever online test over on our Discord Server. We had a ton of fun and found an enormous amount of bugs, which poor Jeff cried about and then fixed, like the champion he is. Thank you to all of our Testers who participated! You guys are awesome and gave us some great moments. Shown above: The Sneakiest Spearman in all of Egypt As for art, Mark has been hard at work on getting things up to snuff. Our Sun Tower has been looking a little drab recently, so we decided to upgrade. Designed from the ground up and inspired by the Pyramids of Giza, the new Sun Tower is actually the first time a pyramid has been present in Sons of Ra! What took us so long? I have no idea, but check out the sketches below, and our most recent animation tests! Sekhmet is coming along nicely, and her God Head is nearly complete. Just needs some colors! CHANGELOG Model…

Our existing keeps (still in progress) were the first to get this treatment and they now have pillars! Our old keeps were designed over two years ago (!!!) so this change was a long time coming. Conquest Our single player mode is coming a…
