We're Not Dead Yet!

We never really were, but updating a blog seems to fall downward on the list, often times.   Bryan is kicking buttocks working on the various HUD el…

COMBAT

It's been a long time since we talked combat.   But a couple nights ago Bryan showed a couple baddies pummeling Maya and I realized that we…

Myst-ical

I played a lot of Myst when I was younger.   It was one of the first games I tackled alone, which of course means that the experience stuck with me.…

Inventory Makeover

One of the most challenging elements (I've found) with game design is that almost any little revision to the overall game-plan, or even the most…

Getting Real

So I commented on Carl's most recent blog entry with the assertion that "shit is about to get real". As excited as I am about shit g…

And it's March

Just updating with a little screenie action here.   We've been working on some clean up and UI/HUD awesomess, which is nearly ready for a reveal…

Caves Are Very Exciting

The cave is a special place in most games - it's sort of become a character of it's own.  I love that - the mystery, the unknown - the risk …

Running Around

Here's a quick shot of a new scene.  The quality went down quite a bit, but I hear gifs are all the rage this year, so hey - 12 seconds of kinda…

Map Making

I have always enjoyed map-making and find it easiest to start with a top-down sketch in order to create a fun and interesting "tour" for t…

The plan is to fully level-design six of the early regions of the game (three of them being caves).   We want to make sure that we fully integrate c…

I've been working on visual touches for another important  region of the game - set on the coast.   It takes a lot of tweaking to capture the fe…

We've been working a lot this week on creating our title screen - and we're trying to think a bit outside the norms there as to not just hav…

Legend of Limbo

I sort of got off on a tangent this evening.  Ended up Limbo-fying one of our scenes.    Damn cool look, I have to say.

Moon Shine

More messing around to get a nice nighttime effect.   Adding in more organic lights as well.

Alrighty.  Trying to polish up the look/feel here.  This video shows several new things including shadows, basic interactions, and basic enemy AI/pa…

Here are a couple screenshots with the anti-aliasing on.  Definitely much less ragged.

Waiting in the weeds? Lighting, skyboxes, and grass, oh my. I've been touching up some visual details lately while Bryan implements combat (…

Here's a shot of our region known as The Dry Coast.   You can Maya about to get in to it with a couple Gubs and bigger fella we call Vos.   In t…

Just a quick screenshot pulled from Unity.   Obviously, shadows are going to be very key to the richness of this game and they're not in yet.���…

It's Starting to Come Together...
