Hi there Indiedb community! We're Sarah and James of YesIndieDie Games and we're working on a game called Cavian (in the very very early stages of development atm) and just thought we'd share our progress with it so far :). We welcome any suggestions or feedback from you guys.

Here's a brief synopsis of the story:
Cavian is a first-person journey through an underground world of caves, told through the eyes of a bird. You begin by hatching and finding yourself deep underground in a cave system. As the story unfolds, you find out why you are here and how you can escape, solving puzzles and collecting items along the way. Your growth throughout the game means that you are capable of progressively difficult manoeuvres and challenges. We wanted to draw inspiration from games of the 90's such as Tomb Raider and Spyro The Dragon in the game mechanics, but we also wanted the game to have a deep and meaningful story line, which involves the player on an emotional level.

Here are some test renders for you to see an example of the caves:

We also had a go at composing a sample of the soundtrack, which you can listen to on YouTube:

So as you can see, it really is early days! We'll keep this thread up-to-date with our progress. Looking forward to hearing any of your comments or questions! :)
