Devlog 1: Context & Background

Introducing the world of Dark Queen: A Journey into Myth, Legend, and History

Dark Queen is set in early 15th century Croatia. Players take on a role of the Crusader on a quest to rescue his beloved from the Dark Queen’s castle.

Inspired by Croatian literature and Slavic folklore, specifically the August Šenoa's The Snake Queen.

I added trampolines into Reap. I guess it's a weird to combine Grim Reaper and Trampolines but whatever, it's fun non the less. #indiedev #pixelart #gamedev

Just a totally normal buoyancy test

The Art Behind Dark Queen

...is rooted in iconic animations, and timeless pieces of art that evoke strong atmospheres and unforgettable visuals.

In this post we’ll take a look into some of the biggest inspirations that are shaping the world of Dark Queen.

We showcased our game at 2 gaming events (even Deadpool played it).

People managed to tear it apart but that's just what we needed. Coming up soon: playtesting with our Discord community (https://discord.gg/RVZ2FZmabT)
