Technical Stuff


Here is a news update. We know you all wanted this.

First of all, again, thanks to everyone who is following and supporting the development of this game. Seriously, we appreciate it.

But let’s talk about the game status. We really wanted to start with the screenshots and videos, but the content for them is still missing. Please, be patient.

By the way, we can say that the very basic game engine is almost finished. Obviously, a lot of changes and bugfixes still need to be done, but we reached a pretty good point.

After we finish the basic engine, we will start focusing on random life generation (for the people that are not controlled by the player - will take A LOT of time) and on other particular stuff.

So many of you asked about the graphics and the gameplay in general:

  • About the graphics: The game will have 3D graphics, with a third person view. We are planning to make some first person sequences, but that still needs to be determinate;

  • About the gameplay: The gameplay will be, basically, infinite. That means you will have the possibility to do whatever you want with your character. You will have to make decisions about your job, the way you spend your money, your lifestyle, your relashionship with other people, and so on. We don’t want to define it “a simulator” because your character’s life will be a lot more “active” compared to real life, but we will also focus on the realistic feeling of the game.

We would also like to say thank you to everyone who suggested a character for the game. We are analyzing all the characters you suggested, before deciding what to implement. Please, keep up suggesting. You’re very good at doing that.

Again, thanks to everyone who is supporting this project. More news updates will be posted in the near future.

Been working lately on lots of 'behind-the-scenes' boring stuff that no one really cares about, so here’s a guy playing the sax for some reason.

Quantum precognition is one of the most powerful cards. End game cards & equipment. Demo/alpha build boss is no match for this deck.

Heya! I wanted to show some gameplay progress i made so far. I hope you like it ^^

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

Today I tackled drawing different variations of facial expressions for one of the main characters in Eden. What do you think of it? :) Eden: https://gamejolt.com/games/Eden/592698
