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?

Save And Load System Hello everyone! Over the last week, I have been creating the save and load system, which will allow users to save their progress and continue the game where they left off after stepping away.

In Lobo, gear can break, but it’s not a punishment. It’s part of the world’s economy — repairing costs coin and pushes you to explore for resources and treasures. You’ll also meet the twin blacksmith brothers… from different fathers. Don’t ask.

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.

Tried turning MetaHumans into anime inspired characters while keeping Control Rig, Live Link, and GASP fully working. Inspired by Breath of the Wild, Guilty Gear, and Studio Ghibli. A fun mix of tech, design and art. 🎨

I made an Ogre as a custom MetaHuman, but in the Zelda: Breath of the Wild style. Made with Polyhammer, Blender, Substance Painter, and Unreal Engine 5.

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?

In Lobo: The Howl Within, death isn’t the end, it’s part of the story. Fall damage keeps you grounded, and when you die, your gear drops where you fell. Return if you dare — your enemies will still be waiting.

Quests And Missions Recently, I have been working on incorporating Quests and Missions into Crumbling World, which is likely to be the most exciting and fun update to the game so far.

Quick peek at my loot to equip flow. Open chest, grab gear, drop it straight into your hands. Still early, but the core is solid and works with both controller and KBM. More polish coming soon.
