Hello World..


..and welcome to the devlog of Cold Steel!
My name is Nick and I am the solo developer of this fairly ambitious project which I hope will come into fruition in the next 2 years.

At the moment the project is in the Blue Sky phase (you can read all about the production process which I will be more or less using here) which in short means that having come up with the game idea, I am busy making the game design document.
The document lists all of the details (eg. assets, names, loot table) and features (eg. movement, combat, economy) in order for me to keep track of my ideas and be able to create a prioritized to-do list.

Additionally I’m doing all the necessary content research for the various locations, buildings etc. in order to attain a more specific image of what I will be building before diving into Unreal for preproduction.

Starting next Sunday I will start posting weekly updates on the progress I’m making and possibly short discussions regarding specific design decisions.

Nick out.

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

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)

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.

I worked so hard to get all four of them to the end safely, but then...
