Dark Queen of Samobor | Downtown Game Studio

And another quick update:

Enemies no longer just dash to attack you, they can now run up to you and attack both from a distance and up close. Animations and timings still need tweaking, but it’s functional

#DarkQueenOfSamobor #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegames #madewithunity

Quick update:

Our parry system was already in place but not easy to pull off and not obvious enough once you do

Now we have the stun animation on enemies (ignore sliding back for now 🥲)

#DarkQueenOfSamobor #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #madewithunity #prototype

Quick update: we now have a secret passage mechanic in place

It allows us to hide certain sections of the map

Some collectible items will be tucked away in these hidden spots 🤫

We talked about our studio and hopes & wishes for #DarkQueenOfSamobor and beyond at the biggest Croatian gaming podcast 🎙️

You won’t catch a lot if you’re not from the region, but at least you’ll see and hear the faces behind the game :)

We shared the concept art for these guys a while back, and here are they in-game, they’re not functional yet, but we can finally see them

Soon we’ll feel them too 😁

Any feedback is welcome! 🙇🏻⚔️

We’re blocking out levels and testing our narration system. For now, it's placeholder text and an AI-generated voice, but soon it’ll be replaced by a real voice actor.

Any feedback is welcome!

Quick update: this bug is fixed 🔨

It now works flawlessly, you can push and pull boxes from any side (and while standing next to them)

Animations need a bit more work, but it’s fully functional

Today we are thrilled to share this incredible milestone with you — we’ve just passed 10,000 wishlists on #Steam!

Thank you everyone, from the bottom of our hearts.

We are grateful for each and every one of you ❤️

#gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegames #steam #10k #DarkQueenOfSamobor

Working on a mechanic to push boxes sideways (right now it only works from the front)

It’s… not going great 😄

We’ll fix it soon, but the bug’s too funny not to share! 🪲

Thank you!

New enemy Type: Vampire 😈

Driven by primal hunger, these creatures prey on men and beast alike, feeding on their blood to sustain their cursed existence 🩸

#gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegames #unity #characterdesign #Vampire #DarkQueenOfSamobor

Quick update:

Movement along splines is now smooth and functional, including entry/exit points 🏃🏻

Excited to start blocking out levels with this mechanic, we have so many ideas and can’t wait to see them come to life

#gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegames #unity #steam #DarkQueenOfSamobor

Thank you for sharing!!

Thank you Simone, appreciate your feedback! And we agree, the more we look at it the more we’re sure that’s one of the biggest issues

This is a great feedback, thank you so much Igor! And it’s spot on and we’ll try playing around with it. Thanks again! 🙏

That makes sense, but these traps activate only if you step on them (they are like bear traps) so we made it possible to avoid them with a roll because it looks like you jumped over them as you roll. Does that make sense? 🤔

From the feedback on our trailer, it seems that many people aren’t fans of our Queen model

So now we’re asking honestly, how does she look in this scene? Brutal, unfiltered feedback welcome and appreciated!

#gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #unity #steam #DarkQueenOfSamobor

New quick update:

Traps don’t discriminate 😈 They are now just as lethal to enemies as they are to you

Also, you can now roll over traps to avoid them

Does that feel right? Would love your feedback 🙏

#gamedev #indiedev #IndieGameDev #indiegame #unity #steam #DarkQueenOfSamobor

Spline movement is finally coming along! A little twitchy at the entry/exit points, but we’ll smooth it out

This is a nod to the classic PS1 Tarzan game we loved as kids 💚

#gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #PS1 #PlayStation #tarzan #unity #steam #DarkQueenOfSamobor

Several people have asked us how do you survive the boulder from the trailer

The answer is: Time Crawl ⏳

The ability we revealed in the post below: bsky.app/profile/dark...

Early gameplay, WIP⚒️

#gaming #gameplay #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #unity #steam #DarkQueenOfSamobor

Another short fight clip 🤺

Beyond light/heavy attacks, blocks, parries, and rolls, our combat stands out with axe throws and unique abilities, like Time Crawl, which slows time (you’ll spot it briefly in the clip)

WIP⚒️

Thank you!!

Some concept art for this #ScreenshotSaturday

Nemri (“those who do not die”), giants of Croatian legends

Standing 3–4m tall, they're known for their strength and longevity. Instead of dying, they stop and turn to stone

#conceptart #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegames #DarkQueenOfSamobor

We love how classic Disney shaded characters differently from their environments

Originally a tech limitation, but it gave them a unique look

We're inspired by that and our characters use a separate shader to stand out

Work in progress!

Thank you so much Rui! If you want to be among the first to try, please join our discord as we’ll have a playtest with our community later this year.

Here’s the invite: discord.gg/D9Qq3MBmeb

Thanks once again! :)

Thank you both for wishlisting and for sharing! 😊

Thanks for sharing!

We like to describe our game as INSIDE, but instead of a boy, you play as a knight with an axe.

And you have magic abilities.

And you can throw your axe.

And there are boss fights.

And…

🤔
