For Lobo, I wanted simple settings. No ray tracing or upscalers so it runs on any PC. Inspired by The Last of Us Part II, I added my own touch.
Essentials: resolution, volume, rebind keys, camera, and language.

Tutorials in Lobo are optional, easy to skip, and only cover key mechanics that aren’t obvious. They’re brief and direct, and yes! They break immersion, but that’s intentional: quick info bites help you immediately apply what you learn.
Do you like to spam attacks? Enemies in Lobo won’t let you. They dodge, dash, or counter with unblockable moves to break button mashing and keep combat dynamic.
In Lobo, I use foreshadowing to keep the gameplay rhythm going. A quiet moment, a fallen hunter, and a new weapon you can equip but not use yet, just enough to tease what’s coming next.

In Lobo, I optimize enemy AI with distance-based activation. Only nearby enemies are fully active, keeping performance smooth while encounters stay smart and meaningful.
Mae Borowski is the main character of Night in the Woods! It's an adventure game that tells the story of her return to her hometown of Possum Springs. She was confirmed as canonically pan in a social media post by the game's creator Scott Benson.
Inspired by The Last of Us, Lobo uses gates as progression. Some open only when all lanterns along a path are lit, others are tied to undead guardians. A small valley, packed with lore and history.
In Lobo, fights aren’t one-note. Go full berserker or stay hidden and use the environment to your advantage. Stealth kills, quiet footsteps, and smart positioning let you choose how to survive.

One of my obsessions in Lobo is giving characters emotions during gameplay, not just in cinematics. Using a simple emotion blend space, I can trigger expressions like anger or fear in real time, even for enemies. Small details, big impact.
