Fe

Last week, the latest devblog post for Fe was shared. This one is from Maria Svenningsson (3D Artist), who came to talk about the unique world of Fe, and how the development team took a lot from their Swedish nature to create it.

Here’s an excerpt:

When we started working on Fe we took a lot of inspiration from our Swedish nature. I think everyone at Zoink has a lot of stories to tell about their relationship with the forest; it is rather difficult to avoid it when it covers 70% of your country and is free for anyone to enjoy. We all had tons of field days out there in our childhood where we got to explore the wondrous nature around us. But all our stories are different, for no forest is the same and the landscape varies very much from south to north.
