ABOUT THE DEVELOPER
Hi there! I'm Mathias and I've been creating video games since I was a child. I love science, playing music and drawing. So what's better than creating a video game to do all of this at the same time? I do everything alone because I love every part of it and I'm a curious guy who likes to know how it works! I hope you'll like it :)

Loading...Improving the ocean: now there are real 3D waves & you can feel the altitude changing while sailing them on your turtle. You can jump off waves, there are little crates to crash into to get loot, and I've tuned down the FX (bloom & reflection)

The different stages of the creation of a new character for my game, from the paper & pen sketch done quickly, to the final game integration. I wanted to create an old and cool/zen grandma. I hope she looks cool !
Made with Unity, Blender, Krita
Loading...I added waves and foam to the ocean 🌊🌊🌊
I used vertex displacement and multiple layers of textures & masks to avoid obvious repetitions. Still work in progress, but it's starting to get interesting. The render stack was quite complex to setup however !
Loading...Just sailing my turtle on the ocean, enjoying the blue skies and waters... Nothing fancy, but hopefully there's a smooth and peaceful vibe to it.
New update on my blog ! Here are a few screens to celebrate. I'm talking about Tests, UI, and more stuff... Check it out if you want to get more details.

Loading...Still working on UI. It's actually quite difficult to make something that dynamically works with keyboard, controller and/or mouse without those 3 interfering with each other. The "Controls" menu is very complicated too. Not finished yet, but it works OK
Working on Dialog UI/UX...
Loading...Lots of sleeping pirates ... Well maybe I helped them go to sleep. I worked on the bubble dialog UI, I hope it's better now !
Loading...I'm a bit obsessed with this title screen... I've reworked on the colors, added some details on the water and background, made the floating islands move, and added a Kraken in the distance... I guess I should get back to working on the game itself now...

Loading...Working on portraits of my video game characters for dialog sequences. Here's a timelapse ! I wanted some kind of African inspired outfit, and a slightly haughty expression (Hence the difficult low angle shot). I hope you'll like it !
