Joe🪓Song of Iron

🔥Finally time to reveal SONG OF IRON 2🔥 #songofiron2 has come so far from the first game and so have I on my dev journey. Thank you for all the support along the way! Oh and there's a Steam demo ⬇Watch for more info⬇

@thomasbrushdev Expectations vs reality! Its a tough battle to show exactly what the game is without spoilers. Hyping up the right things, then delivering on that promise. Its easy to construct your own hopes/dreams for a game. We need to do our bust to keep that aligned with reality

What do you think the number 1 reason is for bad Steam reviews? Go!!

climbing is in a pretty good place for now, alpha quality. so its time to turn towards our next challenge...

trying to get some movement in the fur when its moving. Surprised its going so well so far. Was one of those "This might just be crazy enough to work" sorta plans. that said I'm guessing this is gonna get compressed to hell haha.

@thaddeusPrime Hey man! Hope you’ve been well.

@RestingRelic Oh! What are you up to Joe?

👀 Something new

@AngelG326 Working on this has made me super happy so I want to start sharing more of it soon. It’s pretty early so definitely lacking big chunks of content so it will feel teaser-y for a bit probably

YES!!!!! Any big updates/announcements planned for the near future? @RestingRelic

@H2OAcidic @ACMcCumbers Been reporting these as they come up :( really sucks

@SongofIron Heads up, my friend @ACMcCumbers got his account taken over, guess same thing going around. I reported the link to BlogSpot, but its yet to be taken down.

Why This Halo Developer Went Indie (And Completely Solo!) @SongofIron #sologamedev #indiegamedev #fulltimegamedev #gamedev

@ChairGTables Didn’t realize DMs were off sorry about that! Woops I should pay more attention 😅

@SongofIron Really wish there’s things we can do to prevent this as devs but I already reported the webpage. Been wanting to reach out to you but your DM settings got reset to users with checkmarks only and I couldnt find an email If you want details on the malicious links/user,you can DM me

Discord scammer: Please test my friend’s game. There’s no virus I promise Me: Okay *Google reverse image search stolen screenshots of the real indie game then download the real game from Steam* Scammer: Are you still there? Me: Yeah *gives lengthy genuine review of game* Scammer:

@ChairGTables It makes me sad this is happening, I wish I knew what I could do to help protect people from the scam. They took all of this from the steam page 😞

Game in question being stolen for Discord scams is Song of Iron, which is a real game made by real hardworking people Gonna give @SongofIron a heads up that malicious people are using their game as a means of malware

More trees. Love a nice birch forest

@BruteForceGame Beautiful!

Here it is! I'm thrilled to unveil my latest project: 'Paper Sky,' an exhilarating paper plane adventure! Dive into the skies, experience speed like never before! Wishlist the game on the official Steam page: store.steampowered.com/app/1617230 Hope you enjoy! 🥳 #gaming #unity3d

@InspireTheGame_ Every once and a while I wonder about breaking off the sidescroller side of things, but then I remember I am only one person haha. I am glad it gives off those vibes though. I do want it to feel larger than a simple side scroller

@SongofIron Ever thought of making a more semi/ open world rendition of song of iron? Art style and combat would work really well i think

Trying to add a bit more of an stylized look, without loosing the feeling of realism. (at least that is the goal) Reworked the lighting some and made a bunch of new trees

Been working on my foliage a and colors a ton lately. Really excited with how this is feeling. These are all wildly more efficient then my older stuff. So more of them and more dynamic wind is possible <3 #songofiron

@ReynoldHughes @AlexStrook Uhg this makes me so sad, been trying to stop it but not much I can do :(

@AlexStrook Bro stole pictures from @SongofIron, too. 😞

@DMeville Most responses have hit the key points, one to add is depth of the fog. Your example is a single card vs a volume and is tuned for daytime light and is working only as the surface. Lowering the density but adding cards “should” start to look more accurate

So I noticed when trying to make my mist look good at night (and in shadow) that it often looks more transparent when it's in shadow compared to when lit. So it makes it look like the mist is thinner at night. Is this physically accurate? Any fix for this?

Finally decided to learn blender and am doing some sculpting for the first time to ease into it. My work flows have always been very old school so its been great catching up and learning new stuff Trying not to spend too much time on anything. Quick little sketches then moving on. This is my 4th ever sculpt.

Something a bit less flashy today, but one of the most fun parts of the process. Blocking out a new level. Here is the start of one of the four main areas of the game. A bog resting in the canopy of the dying world tree. #worldtree #Viking #gamedev

Unaliving some goblins while I tune the new magic system😂after building up enough fury you get a white rune on your shoulder letting you know a special is ready. Fury is a new system the more you build the stronger and faster you get. #songofiron #videogames
