In the beginning there's a spark in your head.

Sometimes the spark catches on fire, sometimes it just dissapear. And sometimes it can grow and grow like a cancer inside your head. The developer is a person who must know how to plan features , when to stop planning and start working, which parts of game develop, how to create final image from all the mess in the head. How to create beautiful puzzle out of bilion pieces.

The same thing happened to me, little spark of building game, unique, I never saw before anything like this. The idea started to grow, started to be more and more chaotic, papers began to stack.

In the last month i finished two games for game jams.. Game jam is a unique experience . It pushes you to think less and do more. But this is not the right way for a serious idea. Serious idea must be planned almost perfectly. All of the pieces of puzzle must fit in perfectly .. If any piece cant fit.. there will be something missing.

But after the planning of basic mechanics and basic gameplay( i will reveal them in the future devlogs ) I finally started to doing something. I decided to start on graphics , so I decided to download MagicaVoxel and start to create some art for game. In one evening i created columns and some basic bricks.

Nothing groundbreaking and everything is shining a little too much but for now it is working. I have in plan working on some ground textures and also ground Prefab where I can change, save and load highmaps.

Next article i will be talking a little more about how i solved terrain and also i will reveal more of the game mechanics.

Hope to see you soon

Heya there! I really wanted to show you all a little gameplay preview of the first boss fight i'm currently working on i hope you like it ^^

I have added rewards for quests so that villagers can give you something in return for your hard work helping them. 🥳

I want to know - what's your favourite quest reward?

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

Updated the chest in the maze, adding sound, particles and better animation. But what's in the chest?

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)

Hi everyone! I started to create some environment props for my new video game, here is a cozy house in the forest. I'm planning to switch from Unity to Unreal... Let's see what new challenges I have to face. Made in Blender and Substance Painter.

Spaaaace~

These are background sprites I've created for a game I'm working on at school ^w^ Click on the post to see how the sprites connect. You won't regret it! (personally, I think it's pretty heheh)

Drawn in Piskel using my mouse. Whaddya think?
