Hi everyone, I've been deeply immersed in environment design lately. Here is a sneak peek of the house you'll call home in my upcoming adventure game 🏡
Next up
I refined the combat in Lobo: The Howl Within—smoother transitions, better animation blends, and improved camera work!
As a solo dev, I stitched together 4 animation packs from 3 creators to make it feel like one cohesive system.
Not every door in Lobo: The Howl Within is meant to be opened… Some require keys, quests, or ancient light-fueled lore. Others? They’re not keeping you out—they’re keeping something in.
Here’s a look at the new door interaction system.
Should you kill every enemy you see? In Lobo: The Howl Within, leaving dead bodies behind can trigger enemy investigations. They’ll warn others and form mini hordes to track you down. Sometimes stealth > strength. What’s your playstyle?
Madeline is the main protagonist of the mountain climbing platformer, Celeste. The game has been praised for its visuals, gameplay, and introspective narrative. The game's creator Maddy Thorson confirmed that Madeline is trans in 2020.
Heavy attacks come at a cost.
In Lobo, using brute force puts enemies into aggro mode — drawing their full attention and making the fight harder. Sometimes charging in isn't the best move… or is it?
Game Jolt Colors is back!
Draw your OC (or favorite character) in the Game Jolt color palette and post them in the Art realm with the tag #GameJoltColors25.
At the end of the event, we'll pick a winner & add their design to the GJ Colors sticker pack!
🎮 Sneak, strike, survive. Just added synced animations for stealth kills, finishers, and perfect counters in Lobo: The Howl Within ⚔️
Each move adapts to your timing and positioning—making every encounter feel brutal and satisfying.
Maybe you can block enemy attacks... But if you run out of stamina? You’re stunned. Time it perfectly though, and you trigger a counter that knocks enemies back—giving you space to reposition or fight others.
Dive into the cozy post-apocalyptic open world of Critter Cove!
Gentleman Rat Studios (@GR-Rob ) describe it as “a little bit Animal Crossing, a little bit Stardew Valley. Maybe even a little bit Windwaker, too."
Wishlist the game: https://bit.ly/CritterCove
Maybe you think you’re escaping a horde of undead soldiers. Actually, I’m tricking you—using the chase to load everything behind that ruined wall. Game dev isn’t just about what players see—it's how you hide the seams. Steal the idea, not the mechanic.
