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. Once fully completed, this new feature will be a game changer, as it will not only add more playability to Crumbling World but will also deepen the storyline that players will experience throughout the game.

Once fully implemented, Quests and Missions will fundamentally change the way the game is played, all while making the experience more epic, entertaining, and engaging. Now, Crumbling World is not only about running around and killing enemies. Instead, players will be tasked to complete Missions that will allow them to progress throughout the game while unlocking new and never before seen levels.

News and Features

In other news, adding Quests and Missions will require two new main features to be added besides the Quest System that has been under development. These features include Non-Player Characters (NPC) and a Dialogue System. Quests will be given in many different ways, with the Quest Giver, an NPC who introduces each Quest and instructs players on what they need to accomplish will be at the center of this feature.

Introducing NPCs to Crumbling World will add a different level of playability that has not been seen before, as players will be able to interact with new characters in a fun and engaging way. To allow players to interact with NPCs, I had to develop a Dialogue System to facilitate the conversations between players and secondary characters. This is a notable development, as discussions will add parallel stories to the main storyline that will extend the game itself by making Crumbling World far more engaging and exciting than ever before.

Non-Player Characters (NPCs)

As mentioned above, NPCs like the Quest Giver will be directing players on how to complete Quests. However, some NPCs will also be directly involved in these exciting adventures as well. One of these unique Quests is the Escort, where players will be in charge of successfully escorting an NPC to their final destination while ensuring that they do not get killed along the way. At risk of spoiling some major storyline plot points, NPCs will become a growing part of Crumbling World as we move forward with development, which will fundamentally change the way the game is played. This is a significant shift for the game, as now players will have the opportunity to search for secrets, discover new locations, and enjoy the process of exploring a world that is consistently changing as you interact with it.

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.

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.

Jump And Grab Edge System Since the last update, I have been working on the Jump and Grab Edge System for Crumbling World. I decided to rework these movement mechanics, as I thought it would be great to add a bit more complexity to each of the levels.

Meet the Fallen Sentinel, an undead warrior who still fights like a master. Light attacks, stamina dashes, Fear-based blocks, perfect parries, and brutal guard breaks make combat in Lobo tense but approachable.

In Lobo, cozy spots actually heal you. Bed heals 3x faster, chair 2x, campfire 1x. Sometimes survival isn’t about fighting; it’s about resting.

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.

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!

Quick combat update for Lobo ⚔️ Undead enemies now have subtle zombie-like animations, optional non-gore FX, and arenas that blend naturally into the world using PCG tools. Combat should feel smoother and more readable.

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.

In this peek, enemies dodge attacks while player moves close-gap with new attacks. Combat feels fair and fun.
