As a solo game developer, I have to be creative in turning limitations into features. Since I'm not an animator and can't hire one, I developed a dynamic comic strip system for storytelling instead of cinematics. Here’s the first step—still a WIP!

In Lobo The Howl Within the end is always clear, but the path is an adventure full of combat, choices, and mystery.

One of the hardest parts of game design is teaching players. In Lobo, I chose to break immersion a bit for clear, fast tutorials, no long hand-holding, just quick lessons that get you into action fast. Which do you prefer: immersion or quick guidance?

For Lobo, I wanted simple settings. No ray tracing or upscalers so it runs on any PC. Inspired by The Last of Us Part II, I added my own touch.

Essentials: resolution, volume, rebind keys, camera, and language.

What settings matter most to you?

I made an Ogre as a custom MetaHuman, but in the Zelda: Breath of the Wild style. Made with Polyhammer, Blender, Substance Painter, and Unreal Engine 5.

In Lobo: The Howl Within, death isn’t the end, it’s part of the story. Fall damage keeps you grounded, and when you die, your gear drops where you fell. Return if you dare — your enemies will still be waiting.

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.

Mae Borowski is the main character of Night in the Woods! It's an adventure game that tells the story of her return to her hometown of Possum Springs. She was confirmed as canonically pan in a social media post by the game's creator Scott Benson.

Unreal’s first-time shader stutter? I made a tacky fix in Lobo: a hidden camera rides a spline through tricky spots, preloading all shaders. Player sees nothing. Game runs smooth. 🎩✨
