UI, Communication And Usability This week, I have been working on the main user interface (UI) for Crumbling World. UI is an essential part of any game, as it is one of the main tools that we as game designers use to communicate with our players directly.

I’m a solo dev making a handcrafted dark fantasy world full of secrets and rich lore. No Lumen, no Nanite—just classic lighting so it runs on your toaster. Love The Witcher, The Last of Us, or Monkey Island? This is for you.

Hi everyone! Tomorrow I will be releasing the Beta Demo for #CrumblingWorld, sign up in http://crumblingworld.com if you want to play it !

Quick combat update for Lobo ⚔️ Undead enemies now have subtle zombie-like animations, optional non-gore FX, and arenas that blend naturally into the world using PCG tools. Combat should feel smoother and more readable.

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.

In Lobo, cozy spots actually heal you. Bed heals 3x faster, chair 2x, campfire 1x. Sometimes survival isn’t about fighting; it’s about resting.

In Lobo, camps are more than a save point. Stay close to the campfire long enough, and you can heal, recover your health, and take in the views. A quiet pause in a harsh world.

In this peek, enemies dodge attacks while player moves close-gap with new attacks. Combat feels fair and fun.

Save And Load System Hello everyone! Over the last week, I have been creating the save and load system, which will allow users to save their progress and continue the game where they left off after stepping away.

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.
