A short clip showing the reckless fighting style of Gust Of Wind's AI. Guard wakes up another enemy and regrets it soon after.

Spending my effort on the things that matter in Gust of Wind

When the character falls on a very slanted surface, it switches to fall with physics. I had this before too, but yesterday did some big improvements on how it looks (adding its own animation and adjusting the transitions, physics collider and camera).

The game got a big new update, adding things like Steam Deck support and AI allies that can be brought on to fight enemies in certain situations.

Since the game's EA launch half a year, I've been focusing a lot on optimization. I made a post describing some methods I've used and showing the progress I've made: https://gustofwindgame.com/blog/?p=184

I got some feedback of the caracters looking too "cute" (or goofy was the exact word). There's some intentional goofiness for sure, but maybe the character style clashes too much with conventions of the stealth genre. I did an experimental paintover.

Cavalcade of NPCs is growing in Gust of Wind

I've recently done a bunch of landscaping work on the third mission of the game. I tried to get the barren terrain type to look close to the dwarf birch dominated highlands in northern Norway. Music by https://olliojamusic.com

Grappling hook + timing = successful entrance

I tried a hood on the character. I don't know what I'll do yet but I'm mostly leaning towards the original look.
