@TornbladeGame Your art looks really good, I legit thought you were an industry veteran.

A little over two years ago I knew nothing about game development, modeling or animation. Judge for yourself whether those last two years of learning were wasted. Currently working on another enemy lurking in the darkness of Hraefnfeld... ...The Sun Knight. This time I’m presenting a small fragment of the creation process... from sculpting and retopology to the first tests inside the game engine. And still heavily work in progress :-) #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

@manerfishgames I will take that as a compliment. As for the sharpness, it’s probably because I’m not using TAA

@CandleLithe Wow, I legit thought this was Monster Hunter Rise for a second. This is looking stupidly sharp, what the hell.

I just added a charged attack to my game, it is heavily inspired by Dragon's Dogma. #MonsterHunter #GameDev #IndieGames #dragonsdogma

@ErenDar5 Thanks !! Makes me so happy to hear that !

@CandleLithe we will be buying your game day one

@thepichugger You want to one shot monsters or what

@CandleLithe Should add a skill or item or something that lets you charge indefinitely, like it just keeps getting stronger with no limit

@Nanashi61696 Yes. But not overboard

@CandleLithe Oh shit, you are making a dragon's dogma esque game with monster hunter-esque combat? That shit's gonna be fire! Is there magic?

@TheVaquous The discord for the game is in my bio, you could join it if you want to try the playtest I will be running soon

@CandleLithe WHEN CAN I PLAY THIS

@Lordgrimm123 I simply needed a bat-like monster for some gameplay purpose, then I passed my requirement to a concept artist. He came up with the design, so I just had to model and animate it.

@CandleLithe That looks sick. What are you going for with the Bat monster design tho?

Finally added jumping attacks to my game, ideal for dealing with flying enemies #MonsterHunter #GameDev #IndieGames

@starhoundstudio Great insight and points, actually my direction was more towards emergence situations. The cover destroyed produced smaller rocks based on the size could be climb on for jump atttack, maybe taken and thrown at the monster or used as additional cover.

Looks great, the moment of *seeing* the monster while hidden is doing real work, you're letting the player feel the threat without taking the hit. The big design question with cover mechanics is whether the cover holds or the monster eventually breaks it. Permanent cover = the player learns the arena. Destructible cover = the player feels time pressure. Both are valid, just produces really different player tension. Which direction are you leaning?

I'm experimenting with a way to avoid attacks while hiding behind obstacles in my game, what do you think ? #gamedev #indiegames #monsterhunter

@jk_brutal There is the discord in my profile, if you are interested

@CandleLithe Yooo what's this game that I just found!?

@Nanashi61696 For now, I’m experimenting with no proper dodge button, there are other interesting ways to avoid damage

@CandleLithe There's not gonna be focus mode and counters/perfect dodges up the ass, is there?

@Naruga_Kuruga27 Animation is one of my biggest weaknesses, so I will take that as a compliment

@CandleLithe the animations make me think of dark souls 2 (i mean it as a compliment)

Trying to run away with no stamina…💀

@HowlcraftGames Just show me cool great sword gameplay and I’m in

Don't get used to easy wins, surviving in this world takes mastery! #gamedev #indiegames #indiedev #Steam #gaming #solodev #gamedevelopment #UnrealEngine #madewithunreal

@SpiritOTGoddess Looks cute, I will wishlist

Thank you for 400 wishlists! 🥰 It has been difficult for us to get attention with our game, but we are slowly getting there ❤️

@LithPyro Is this game ever gonna release

Parrying some sense into them

@KakapoCalypse Congrats to you, hope the next one lands as well !

My first game on Steam received over 250 000 wishlists. I've started working on a new project on the side and it seems to already be taking off!

I tried testing a new NPC AI, didn’t go well…💀
