Dia de los Muertos Update


Destinos Finales has been updated to version 0.1.1.1 - check it out and let us know what you think! 

Today is the annual Mexican Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos.) I am not Mexican, but much like Halloween, this holy day and the culture and imagery around it have always enchanted me. There's something about the idea of a colorful and "lively" afterlife, and the cute skeleton depictions that go with it, that really appeals to me. That creepy-cuteness is very wholesome, especially when it's attached to people honoring and connecting with departed loved ones. 

I love it when Dia de Muertos is featured in movies and video games, like The Book of Life, Coco, and Grim Fandango - all of which were inspirations behind the idea and art of Destinos Finales.

In honor of this day, I worked very hard this past week to update the game with more artwork and polish. That includes new illustrations (eventually we want to have unique illustrations for every card), a new look for the afterlife map (work in progress), and better flight movement for the airplane.

Hope you enjoy the update, and we look forward to your feedback! If you observe Dia de los Muertos, how are you spending it this year?
