Level design is tough, especially in open environments. To manage player movement and define distinct areas, I used PCG to create a forest wall in my game Lobo. 🌲 #GameDev #LevelDesign #UE5 #IndieDev

Every good adventure hides something behind a waterfall. In Lobo, when you reach the bridge, you’ll spot a small hint, easy to miss, but hard to forget.
Follow it, and you might just uncover something special. Exploration will be rewarded.
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.
🎮 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.
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.
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.
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!
Designing Levels That Tell Stories I'm always looking for ways to add variety to my levels—making them fun to explore, full of surprises, and visually rich with storytelling. In Lobo, every path has a purpose, and every obstacle has a story behind it.
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."

Random death animations + ragdoll chaos = satisfying variety ⚔️💀 In Lobo: The Howl Within, no two enemy deaths feel the same—thanks to randomized anim montages and ragdoll physics. It’s messy. It’s fun. It’s game dev.
