As a scientific illustrator you will go in the depths of earth to identify species. Go deeper and deeper and draw your meetings.
It is crucial for the scientific advancement to post your drawings in the comment section !
Don't worry about the technical level of your drawings !
The goal is to gather data to get consistent pictures of those species !

# My Review
That's a very fun game to play! The sound design and graphics are absolutely great and the dialogs are really well written! Can't wait to see the other drawer's creations! Awesome job bro!
@the1 Glad you liked it ! What about posting your drawings to contribute for science ! :smile:
@solah Amazing, thanks a lot for your participation. Those drawings will be precious for the science illustrator community !
Wanna make a more narrative game too next time
Not my best drawings, haha. What a cool game, though. I feel like GUI in Unity is so tedious (especially in jams) but you have managed to make it look really beautiful. All of the UI and controls are very intuitive and I love the drawing-based gameplay. Is there anything else once you've reached the bottom? Lovely atmosphere created by the monochromatic visual style and the nice ambient music -- I feel like I could listen to this while working all day. Excellent game!

Awesome work!

@ruthiepee Thanks a lot for your kind comment, there is nothing when you've reached the bottom, didn't manage my time to get a proper clear ending ahah. Your drawings are superb, i especially love the big mouth and the stuffy 3rd monster. I'm honored to have such sientific illustrators working with me.
@kinart Thanks! If i had more time i would had tools to create perfect circles, squares and a ctrl+Z but i wanted to keep a minimum options to not induce players to make illustrations with hours of works x). You managed to did really even from the first one without focusing on the description gg !
Anyway! For the science!
The only thing I could add that it was pretty frustrating to spam ctrl + z
I will definitely need to come see the comments again in some days, to take a look on the next drawings :D
(I'm always not happy with my mouse drawing and too lazy to get my tablet so I'm not showing >_<)
Fantastic game! :smiley:
I dont't know it is intentional, but when showing the drawings at the end, the images where fuzzy. Anyways, those are my drawings!
@tyrannas Woah this feels so accurate to the description i made, i feel like even i couldn't be so accurate if i draw them :smile: Thanks a lot for your contribution !
Now as for my scientific contribution:
The tone of the illustrator's dialogue seemed a bit off at times, like being kind of rude to the creatures, other than that, good job!
i like the concept! but I'm bad at drawing
Cool little game to play, the fact that people can share the drawings really add to the experience, nicely done
Here are my images! Such a cool game concept. Everything's felt smooth and the core experienced is polished, what an incredible jam game! I'm a BIG fan of pun in titles too.
