Onwards! ⚔️

Black stripes at the top and bottom during cinematic segments, crazy how a minor detail like that can elevate the feel of the game

Another quick update: you can now jump on and off ladders 🪜

Check out our new blog post, in which we show our creature design process from early sketches to final monsters, featuring the Grabar and its melee and ranged variants

We have jumping implemented and we’ll have gliding too

Quick update: we implemented ladders, finally some vertical movement 🪜

#gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #steam #madewithunity #DarkQueenOfSamobor

We showcased our game and hosted a playtest session in a local cinema in Croatia! Such a cool experience

Enemy anticipation before attack 🤺

#gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #steam #madewithunity #DarkQueenOfSamobor

Back to improving the combat system: enemies get exhausted when they miss you several times in a row 😮‍💨

The animation is probably not the best and needs to be changed but hey, at least it’s functional!

#gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #madewithunity #steam #DarkQueenOfSamobor

Early testers said our character movement felt too “floaty”, especially during jumps

We made some tweaks, including adding fake gravity

It feels more grounded and satisfying now, but it’s still a WIP

What do you think?

#gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #madewithunity #steam #DarkQueenOfSamobor

Improving the combat further, knockdown has entered the chat 😄

It needs some tweaking and polish but it already makes combat so much more fun and juicy

#gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #madewithunity #steam #DarkQueenOfSamobor

We already shared the close up look of these guys in engine, and here’s the concept art that preceded the models 🧛

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 🤫

YouTube video by Podcast Inkubator A1 GameOn Podcast #175 - Hrvatski dark fantasy || Dark queen of Samobor

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! 🙇🏻⚔️
