New 7 Horizons screenshots revealed

From the hot volcanic planet, through the frozen landscapes to the wild jungle – 7 Horizons expands into new sceneries and new heroes!

Get ready for exciting platform challenges with shooter elements – all with a comic book atmosphere, humor, and hand-drawn graphics. 7 Horizons is coming to Nintendo Switch, Xbox consoles, and Steam later this year. 

In addition to screenshots, RedDeer.games has shared new information about their upcoming project, the space comic platformer.

– 7 Horizons is all about original hand-drawn, beautiful worlds. We wanted to create diverse landscapes, with an emphasis on the Marvel-style comic character of the drawings, but at the same time maintaining a cosmic atmosphere – says Dominik Czarniga, Creative Director of RedDeer.games.  

As for the biomes and protagonists themselves, RedDeer.games presented information on three planets and their inhabitants. It has been confirmed that Jelly – the main character, a living jello – will be able to take the form of inhabitants of the planets he will visit.

SCORCHING WASTELAND

The atmosphere on this planet is seriously hot – from booming volcanoes to platforms flooded with magma. Everything on this planet screams – „fire”!

This was the first planet attacked by Invasion. Because Wulca’s people fought back, their home was damaged badly. Most of the space is filled with rocks and lava. Technology is scarce, rough—includes only stone gates. 

Wulca’s people are very proud. They live for a long time, even for thousands of years, and don’t often change their mind. They move slower, however, they make up for it with their great firepower, flame dash which damages enemies, and special skill – an explosion that injures all monsters around. In addition, their strength is useful in pushing large objects.

FROSTY LABYRINTH

The people from this planet were living in isolation even before the Invasion appeared because they cannot survive in other biomes and bad experiences with people from other planets made them suspicious and reserved.

This ice-covered land is full of dangerous traps – icy spikes and frozen surface on which everyone slides doesn’t make things any easier! 

Residents of Frosty Labyrinth do not care about minus temperatures, because their whole life is an iceberg. Their gunfire is slower – but their bullets are extremely dangerous, think of them as a kind of snipers!

Furthermore, their bullets slow down opponents, and if that wasn’t enough, their ultimate skill triggers an ice blast freezing all monsters around – these few seconds’ advantages can often decide the fate of a fight! 

Their special skill – sticking to walls – will definitely help overcome levels. On many planets, you can find special places where can use these Ninja skills and jump were no other hero can.

GARDEN OF WORLDS

People from this planet were peaceful and calm, so when the mutation started to spread they took another approach and didn’t really fight against the invasion. 

Plants’ people can heal themself – their shots suck the life out of their opponents, and when things get really dangerous ultimate skill increase the amount of life their steal! They have a strong connection with nature, although, their design and weapon can suggest that wasn’t always the case.

This great jungle of Garden of Worlds hides many secrets! From the ground full of wild flora to the treetops where one wrong step can end in disaster! The forest is not friendly to visitors, so in some places, the presence of natives activates plants that will help you get to further corners of the planet!

Finally! The official ART SQOOL font is available to everyone

Due to the upcoming launch of ART SQOOL on Nintendo Switch Julian Glander has released a famous font that was used in the game. Now it’s available for free.

– Rounded, geometric san serif forms reduced to their most primitive elements, like a handwriting instruction sheet. Slightly uneven kerning to imitate the sloppy education feel of rub-on letters – describes Glander.

– Use the letters spaced closely for an off-kilter feel, or spread far apart for a really high end design-y look – he adds.

Art Sqool will launch on Nintendo Switch on November 19th.

ART SQOOL gets a release date on Nintendo Switch. Pre-order starts today

For all artists who can’t wait for the most awesome school to open on Nintendo Switch, we have great news. It’s on November 19th! The game made by Julian Glander is going to be published by RedDeerGames.

Furthermore, from November 5th you will be able to make a preorder—and catch the game with 30% off. At least that’s what the coolest blob in the world, Froshmin, says.

But what is Art Sqool?
It’s a fun, weird game that stimulates creativity. As a new student, Froshmin, you’re hanging around the campus and drawing absolutely brilliant works that are judged by a perfectly objective and flawless AI professor.

Have you ever had the syndrome of the terrifying white abyss of a blank page? Just grab the console and the world’s smartest teacher will give you a lot of prompts that will help you to overcome your creative block. Unusual surroundings, brushes, and color palette not from this world will awaken the power of creativity in every blob.

What if I can’t draw?
You don’t have to! Art Sqool has been made in such a way that even Leonardo da Vinci would have scribbled in it. So get rid of the baggage of the cruel perfectionist and let the creation be pure fun.

Go around the whole campus
Look into all corners and collect all colors and tools. Do you prefer to draw with a wiggle brush or rainbow pencil? Or maybe with a mop? One thing is for sure—you will love how Art Sqool uses the touch screen, whether you paint on it with your finger or stylus.

Have a good time with your creativity
Relax and draw all the things you have never know you wanted to draw. On November 19th Froshmin will be waiting for you in Art Sqool.

Who is Julian Glander?
The game is made by Julian Glander, a 3D artist based in Brooklyn. His illustration and animation clients include Adult Swim, WIRED, and the New York Times. His short film Bloop’s Birthday premiered at SXSW. His comic series, Susan Something, was selected for the 2018 Best American Comics anthology.
