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.

Tutorials in Lobo are optional, easy to skip, and only cover key mechanics that aren’t obvious. They’re brief and direct, and yes! They break immersion, but that’s intentional: quick info bites help you immediately apply what you learn.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In Lobo, I optimize enemy AI with distance-based activation. Only nearby enemies are fully active, keeping performance smooth while encounters stay smart and meaningful.

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.

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.

Hi everyone! CrumblingWorld is finally out! Grab it now! It's 27% off on Steam. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1003560/Crumbling_World/
