Hi there, I’m still working on the game! Crazy isn’t it? Recently, and after many feedbacks I had, I’ve been trying to rework the fighting system to make it more fun  and “punchy” (more effects, more feedback), and I also changed a few controls. Among other things: 1 – The character “slides” much less than…

Hello everyone, These last days, I’ve been working on 2 new features in the game: Travelling on the back of a turtle Having a cyclic world (well, technically, this is a torus) OK, these 2 features are slightly linked… I – The Turtle At some point in the game, the player can travel the whole…

Hi everybody, After a long silence, I’m going to talk today about music in the game, and more specifically how I make it. I recently tried to re-record the intro music because I had made it quite quickly in the first place. I – First audio tests: Ardour For the first music recording, I used…

So I first worked on the swimming animation in Blender in order to make it more believable (if you played the last demo or…

In the previous post, I talked about having pirates who track the player. But the hero doesn’t have any means to respond. So, as he is a thief, and not an assassin, I will give him non-lethal weapons: a wood stick, known as a “Bo” in martial arts, a bow with sleeping arrows, a slingshot,…

Hello everybody, it’s been a while! I finally managed to get back to work after these long holidays… And since the beginning of October, I’ve worked mainly on the combat system, and interactions/items/weapons. So the incoming demo will focus on this part. I won’t post again the tutorials and 1st level, even if I fixed…

Hello everybody, Today, I’ll speak about… saves! So this post won’t have a lot of screenshots, mainly boring text 😉 Not very impressive, but here is the save menu! As I want to be able to build up a complete version of my game as early as possible (even if it’s only on 1 level),…
