Devlog - Little Fella

Ever wondered where Little Fella came from? His backstory? His lore? Well, that's all a secret, but I can tell you where the idea for him came from!

Little Fella is one of our teams favorite additions to the game because he simply has no reason or purpose to be there, yet fits so perfectly with everything we want the game to be. Getting bored of lighting toast on fire? Feed it to the Eldritch Cabinet Monster (he's a little shy). 

Something you may not know, however, is that Little Fella is actually as old as eating bread itself, and even older than Objectives AND Achievements! Since some of our earliest alpha and testing builds, Little Fella has been a staple Easter Egg, a hidden little gem waiting to be found by any unsuspecting playtesters. Back in those days he would just sit and stare at you though, and it wasn't until someone tried to feed him some bread that we realized he might be hungry after watching you eat all that delicious toast.

The first ever animation he got was picking up the bread you left for him and taking it back into his cabinet. It was janky and absolutely hilarious, and people loved it, so we gave it just the littles bit of polish and kept it exactly the same! Working on his second set of animations was an extremely fun challenge. Bringing our Little Fella to life through just the use of his eyes was just so fun (and also a great endeavor into Unity's animation system).  

Fast forward to now and Little Fella is munching away, handing out objectives, achievements, and hints left and right! He's an absolute fan favorite, and has spawned many long discussion on potential fun things we can have him do. He'll always be our silly little cabinet fella, so we plan to do more to bring him to the eyes of the player, and maybe have him bring a few special things along with him just for you!
