Moms Are Tough - Let's Play Shelter

capsule_616x353-4007156339

Shelter is just a little game about being just a little guy. By which I mean a little lady.

You are a mother badger, and your sole duty is to protect your cubs, whether that be from floods, fires, predators, or the ever-looming threat of starvation. It can be a dangerous exercise, but you must find new shelter, or your children may never grow up.

Since the game is very much focused on experiencing the grand majesty of nature, I’ll be keeping commentary to a minimum; this is largely a project to get familiar with Davinci Resolve and get my LP legs after [checks watch] a few years away from things, before I do a Slightly Larger™ undertaking.

I’ve loved this game ever since it came out and I always make sure to replay it every now and then; if you enjoy it, I recommend checking out the whole series, available on Steam, Epic Games, and GOG.

Episode 4 - Into The Fire

The height of summer is upon the badgers. The forest is a tinderbox and sparks are flying. The mother cannot move too fast for her children, but death encroaches from every direction…

Episode 5 - A New Home

The leaves are changing colour and the days are growing shorter, as the badger family happens upon an idyllic piece of the forest overlooking a wide, open meadow…
