Here we go!


Hi there!

This is my third year participating in Adventure Jam 2018 and coincidentally it’s the 25th anniversary of Myst games… is the destiny? :D

For this year in the jam I want to make my own tribute to the saga. As a big fan of Myst games I think it’s a dream that I’ve always had but never dared to do… now I’m going to try it in 14 days! It’s crazy! xDD

Well, I started working on this project a few weeks before the jam will start, creating the story, locations, sketching… everything related with the design.

Now it’s been 4 days since the jam started and right now I’m working on the first level (Destiny Island), but there’s still a lot to do. I will try to share the progress but I can’t promise anythign… the time is the boss!

But I’m not alone, my friend and composer Python Blue is helping me with music (thank youuu!) and he is making a gorgeous work, very soon I will share some themes so that you can judge them yourselves.

For now, here are some images (WIP) of the creative process, remember that this is a jam (14 days) and the game is being developed only by one person so it’s possible that some things can change, nothing is definitive:

First sketches of the island:

Blockout in Unity:

Replacing blocks:

Finally some technical aspects for those interested:

  • Engine: Unity 2017.3

  • 3D models: some created with 3D MAX others are from my 3D library

  • Textures are made with Photshop and Quixel Suite

  • I’m using a special asset from Unity store for mechanics, menu, UI… (my programming skills are very poor)

See you soon!

Adding water to the island and a very cool texture for the seabed!

More progress! Finished the sky with some lovely pink clouds! It seems that I have almost finished with the exterior, next step: the house interior, add interactive props, add puzzles, main menu… a lot of work!

Enemies can also suddenly spawn through Realm Rifts. These Rift Spawns are going to be stronger than the ones wandering around. TBD on the enemies... #screenshotsaturday #godstear #madewithunity

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.

So here's the first of the zodiac signs i will make for the next weeks.
