Making of The Flatwoods Monster
Flatwoods Monster! She's one of the more often recognized cryptids by players, but her name seems to be the least remembered. Definitely no one else in this game as gotten the "oh, it's that one! the uh... what's it called?" reaction from players as much as her. I wonder what it is about "Flatwoods Monster" that seems to slide right off people's brains.Something kind of funny happened with her whe...

Making of The Loveland Frogman
It's big frog time. Loveland Frogman is probably one of the least recognized cryptids in my game. It's not uncommon for people to mistake him for a Kappa, so I'm extra glad I didn't go with the design where his eyes were more on the side of his head and less on top.The frogman is another design that I added spots to even though it's not how he's commonly depicted. I grew up in an area where leopar...

Making of The Loch Ness Monster
This time we're getting into a fan favorite, Nessie! She's probably been the most consistently recognized cryptid in the demo. That might not have been the case if I'd gone with the more mollusc-y version I considered in my first sketch though.The spots I ended up adding are kind of an unconventional choice for a Loch Ness Monster design, but I think they add charm and make her feel a little frien...

Making of The Fresno Nightcrawlers
It feels like there's not too much to say about making a cryptid whose design is ultimately just a pair of legs. Once again the final design here ended up not being very different from the first sketch I did.One thing I remember keeping in mind was that I wanted the tall one and the small one to feel distinct. When you watch the original footage of them I feel like they have pretty different gaits...
