Hi everyone! I'm still experimenting with different aesthetics to define the style of my game but this week I thought it would be interesting to try the Ghibli style based on a scene from "My Neighbor Totoro".

We Are Not Alone in the Fog | Lobo WIP
Quick peek showcasing one of the environments in Lobo.
We are not alone in the fog, and they definitely don’t come alone.
Combat design, environment design, and sound design are still in progress.
Polishing combat with directional hit reactions for more weight and variety. Finishers tuned for smooth, synced choreography.
And yes, enemies always drop loot. The Fallen even loses his helmet 😄
I’m a solo dev making a handcrafted dark fantasy world full of secrets and rich lore. No Lumen, no Nanite—just classic lighting so it runs on your toaster. Love The Witcher, The Last of Us, or Monkey Island? This is for you.

Some lore moments get a brief frame. Used sparingly, only when it matters. After all, this is an adventure game.
Also added small physics reactions when pulling weapons from bodies. Subtle, but satisfying.
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.
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?
In Lobo, camps are more than a save point. Stay close to the campfire long enough, and you can heal, recover your health, and take in the views. A quiet pause in a harsh world.

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?
