UI, Communication And Usability This week, I have been working on the main user interface (UI) for Crumbling World. UI is an essential part of any game, as it is one of the main tools that we as game designers use to communicate with our players directly.

No mocap, no actors. Just a solo-dev workflow using facial animations and lipsync to bring dialogue and characters to life in Lobo. AI voices for now, real actors later.

In Lobo, fights aren’t one-note. Go full berserker or stay hidden and use the environment to your advantage. Stealth kills, quiet footsteps, and smart positioning let you choose how to survive.

Optimizing Crumbling World Hello everyone! I was working on a promising improvement that has the potential to optimize the performance of Crumbling World, especially when it comes to running the game on low-end computers and mobile devices.

New combat update in Lobo ⚔️ Enemies can now perform finishers when your health is low, and a new dynamic camera system frames everything in real time for more cinematic, reactive shots.

One of my obsessions in Lobo is giving characters emotions during gameplay, not just in cinematics. Using a simple emotion blend space, I can trigger expressions like anger or fear in real time, even for enemies. Small details, big impact.

Inspired by The Last of Us, Lobo uses gates as progression. Some open only when all lanterns along a path are lit, others are tied to undead guardians. A small valley, packed with lore and history.

Hi everyone! This is a small patch that fixes a bug in the Unique Enemies spawner. Thanks so much for keep reporting bugs and issues. I appreciate it very much!

Do you like to spam attacks? Enemies in Lobo won’t let you. They dodge, dash, or counter with unblockable moves to break button mashing and keep combat dynamic.

In Lobo, finishers use a dynamic Spectator Camera that finds the best shot in real time. It tests nearby angles, avoids occlusion, and adapts even in tight spaces to keep executions cinematic.
