New race! the Dongaar :)

YO

well i did this last week actually but yeah, lel.

Based on the original concept created by Tanya, the Dongaar are a non-playable race of humanoid kangaroos. The Dongaar posess primitive weapons and structures and live in small tribes around flat plains. They are great hunters and rely primarily on speed and agillity, they also practice shamanistic rituals and magic based mainly on nature and the elements.

I designed four alternate textures to show variation between tribes and classes, such as hunters, civillians, shamans and cheiftans.
There is also a boss Dongaar that lives in Durokk the Neth'Nakkra city, who has somewhat been "domesticated" i guess you can say, wearing armour and acting somewhat more humanoid.

So as always not to bore you,

The Largest Predator in the Karang Mountains, the Aire Eagle is a terrifying thing to see swoop down on you. large enough to carry off a human, they are wild and free, Using their natural colouration to silently glide down on prey.

A Predatory beast that floats above the ground and Spikes its prey as it gets close.

Tasks over the Christmas Break.

Hi Team,

Some things to think about over the Christmas break.

The Locale, Josh has already talked about the mountains so it may pay to research Alpine Climates of various countries, especially Europe, but north american works too (pulp fantasy tents to be American climates/terrain in Pseudo Medieval cultures)
you will be looking for Trees, Animals, Textures, Colours, People
A look at medieval weapons and armour too
Research into such would require any photos you can acquire

Programmers can research common RPG features and how to implement them, Inventory, Combat systems, Spell effects, Armour mounts for Characters etc. etc. We are going to do a HUGE list and prioritise the features from [10] necessary to [0] redundant, that way the important features can be implimented one at a time.

And Play a few RPGs guys make a note of what you like and what you don't.
