Rimworld Dev Tracker

At some moment in early 2013 I needed art for an animal for this game I was making. So I opened up Photoshop. It was a western-themed game, so I traced out this buffalo-looking thing.

I'll call it... muffalo. I thought. Sounds stupid. Just a temp name. It amuses me, at least.

I made the body. But buffalo heads are kind of complicated. So I just used the Photoshop oval tool to make an oval and shaped the chin a bit. The eyes? Half-circles. Because on the Simpsons when someone looks sleepy they shape the eyes like that.

I'll need to get a real artist to do this when I have any money, I thought.

In a final moment of creative flair, I made him blue.

Why not? It'll be fun. Blue.

Now he's on a mug.

That was a risky click.. whew!

Love it. Looks like a long-form prestige TV drama with a gigantic ensemble cast.

I'm glad they didn't try to make too specific of a narrative from it.

Please nobody art this.

These look cool. We definitely did this in a nearby alternate universe.

There is the question of how you'd make the natural rock/mineable resources look. Since it might be weird if they formed thin horizontal 'walls' where there happens to be a 1-thick layer of graite or whatever. Or it might look fine, depending on how it's arted.

I replied on the forum, and info would be great.

I did always imagine it as a 'slorph' sound.

I don't know myself, but you'd want one with good single-thread performance.

CPU single-threaded.
