Had the Idea for this hammer faced Keeper for a while. An earthquake maker. Also want the first keeper you encounter to be impressive to give a good first impression.

@halbuildsgames haha yea, the Ik leg setup has been wild to get them walking and turning in a fluid way. anything at this size is magnified so much

@RestingRelic Im just imaging the edge case of a monster raising an arm you were climbing while it was dangling at the monster's side, and the quaternions/IK killed me on the spot

The climbing systems in Nyra and the Garden of Moros, has been the hardest thing to build I have ever made. The edge cases are endless, but I am forging on. Great to again look back at where things started.

@W11002Weed haha right, each step along the way feels like " I got it now" only to find 10 new things to sort out

@RestingRelic Agreed. I recreated the climbing from BOTW including the jumping and it was like a 2 year project

@Feller0__0 Making a Colossus-like, Love Sotc and always wanted more so I decided to give it a shot. its not 1:1 I have plenty of my own takes in here as well.

@RestingRelic So are you just making shadow of the colossus?

@StephenSeanFord Stephen how have you been man!?

@RestingRelic 🙌

@GravinKnight The climbing animation is just blocked in right now

@RestingRelic Please tell me you are going to improve the animation it looks like 5 FPS on the character.

@2TonStudios Hey thanks Stephen!

@RestingRelic Nice work Joe -- definitely coming along!

@eiasninelives awesome! excited to see it

@RestingRelic Thank you, truly! We're tuning the hammer as well, and, well. I'll admit it's shaping up rather nicely. We'll share it once it's ready. 💖

Alright, submitting this week's homework. #ScreenshotSaturday We're getting one more demo update ready before Q3 is out. The heart of this pass: A HEAVY ATTACK button, to give combat some rhythm. The result? Hm. Not bad, I think. What do you say? If it caught your eye, give the current demo a try and leave a wishlist while you're there. 👉🏻 store.steampowered.com/app/3470500/__… Anyway, that's the snowfields of Act 4, the Frozen Tribunal, and the track is 🎵 15, "Mur-Mur, the Inquisitor." Just in case you were curious.

@frankiegamedev Thanks Frankie

@RestingRelic man this looks sick!!

@Unseen_Domains Thank you 🙏

@RestingRelic The progress is insane! It's gorgeous!

If you’re ever feeling unsure of how a project is going be sure to look back at where you started. You’ll surprise yourself how far things have come!

I accept the criticism, I lm not trying to hide the impact of the inspiration. You are however making some incorrect assumptions about the path that I took that lead me here. I didn’t start with a blank project and start building Sotc. Much of it came from a completely unrelated bit of concept art. Once I got to the “climbing monsters” things started to converge.

You chose to take not one, but thousands of creative design decisions Ueda & his team made. Don't pretend that swapping details make it acceptable. You're making a game where we climb the fur of half organic ancient creatures, that's it, that's already enough inspiration, the rest of the design has to come from you. Swapping the horse for a wolf, swapping details of a massive lost temple & its iconic bridge, it's simply not acceptable. It's too much, taken almost as is, all from a single source. You have talent. You are human. For the sake & honor of those who inspired you so much: bring your inspirations to new horizons! It's your duty as an artist & creator. x.com/timsoret/statu…

@timsoret I curious if you’ve look at them lately because its vey different architecture styles.

@RestingRelic If your game is already based on Shadow of the Colossus, can you at least not copy its temple & exact bridge? Please find new architectural concepts, bring this gameplay to a new world of your own. This is pretty disrespectful of Ueda’s work imo.

@realkenwillis Cheers that’s too kind! I am working towards a demo but it’s still probably a little ways out. We should keep in touch

@RestingRelic If you guys are releasing a demo soon, it would be an honor to have you guys on one of my events.

@Charli3Dubs 🙏

@RestingRelic Ngl I think they both look awesome haha! This is gonna be so much fun just running around exploring!

@zakkmathiason I want to bring to consoles for sure. Would love to work with Xbox again and hope to expand to PS as well. Might even manage to get to Switch, nothing set in stone, but working with all of that in mind

@RestingRelic Looks incredible man, so much shadow of the colossus vibes. Any chance you’re planning on bringing the game to consoles?

@quetzalnoatl Thank you! I have some plans for cave areas “cave Dragon” is one of my working names for one of the keepers haha

@RestingRelic Everything I see from you looks so cool dude, keep it up! Thoughts on a cave system/ravine setting for the fight? Could allow for some more variety with a falling rocks element to the whole encounter.

@IndieGameJoe Some really slick stuff going in here

This solo indie dev is making a sci-fi bounty hunter RPG inspired by The Mandalorian, Dune and Max Payne - Track criminals across a lawless star system - Fast combat built on movement and precision - Slow time in the Void It's called Riftwalker. Would you play this?

@GamesMightBeArt Haha no pressure! I’ll do my best

Finally. People making Shadow of the Colossus clones. Gaming can still be saved.
