the date of which it was shown, if it was shown as a final project it would be considered showing off, however since its incomplete and only showing a small gif of it its considered to be a sneak peek.
Ok, I see what you mean. The problem I have is the specific "parts" that would do things that only animals can... Like a heart for pumping chlorophyll. A brain... Not sure what a plant would have as a brain...
well as for a heart and brain would be the "seed" and a collection of internal roots that could form their nervous system and veins. plus depending on the type of plant they could have more or less "organs" than a human does such as poisonous plants or plants that have mimic properties.
I can't see a river at that angle. It's impossible to. It's vertical parallax shifts up and down slightly; contrary to the background.
because it's a terribly made river But Tiy already said that it's only a placeholder and they'll work on it eventually
the entire background is made for a 2d game like early zelda or even their stardew valley game. seen from a top down perspective, that brown rocky ridge like area at the top is a mountain with the rivier flowing down into a pink grassy plains. they have plans to change it to something more fitting im sure but if you've played as many 2d games as i have you could easily reconize it as a river besides this image clearly shows what the lightning in the game looks like.
And yet showing off and a "Sneak Peek" are exactly the same event at different times proving my point.
