Dark Queen


7 months ago

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.


Mythology is oftentimes used as a theme for games but we haven't seen many that explore Slavic myths specifically (apart from The Witcher).

We hope to bring all kinds of scary and interesting creatures from this culture back to life with our game.

Stay tuned for more info about Dark Queen!

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)

After a really long break from making games completely independently, my team and I have started working on our new game, Dark Queen I'm very excited to show off our progress and hear feedback from GameJolt community! Let us know what you think

So, I wanna show my project. Actually it was made several months ago, using unity engine and sprites/anitations were made by myself. By the way, the project is entirely in Russian. But if you know him or can use a translator, you can try)

How we made our combat more juicy

During playtesting sessions we realized that our combat system didn't feel as engaging as it should.

Read about the steps we took to make it feel more impactful

Last Updates:

- Made leaf particle movement random.

- Reduced the damage slow-motion effect.

- Added "Chromatic Aberration" and "Lens Distortion" post-processing effects when the player takes damage.
