Designing Levels That Tell Stories I'm always looking for ways to add variety to my levels—making them fun to explore, full of surprises, and visually rich with storytelling. In Lobo, every path has a purpose, and every obstacle has a story behind it.

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?

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.

Your fellow Jolters are still hard at work making GREAT #GameJoltColors25 art!

There's still time for YOU to be part of it. Check your quest log to get started.

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.

Built a cool system for Lobo that smoothly transitions gameplay → cinematic moments → back to gameplay! Perfect for dramatic actions like bridge jumps or sliding through gorges. Pick actors, animations & camera angles easily! 🎮

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. 🎨

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

In Lobo The Howl Within the end is always clear, but the path is an adventure full of combat, choices, and mystery.
