In Utopia:Haven, you can experience the journey to each different planet with a short shmup section!
These will be short and sweet segments where you can experience and have fun with a different style of gameplay.

Work in progress on a different kind of boss monster!
It's been fun coming up with ideas for robotic bosses, and this metal snake is really satisfying to look at in action!

That's such a random fact ahah! But like, do you own a race horse, or is it just a random famous race horse? 🤔

Luminox is a dangerous planet full of formidable bosses, here's a look at one that I've been working on lately!
This guy harnesses voltaic energy, and has a plethora of different attacks he can throw at you, making for a really fun and chaotic fight!

It would be cool! But I'd rather keep the terrain so the player can traverse the room again later.
Also, since it's a GameBoy game, making the terrain blocks disappear in real time would be quite taxing, and this is a pretty complex scene already!
Anyway, thank you for the suggestion!
That's a good point, I didn't really take that into account. Thanks for pointing it out! There is indeed enough time to run to the left and not get hit.
Progression would be blocked, but exiting and entering the room would solve it, but better to prevent that situation from happening anyway!
Worms, scarabs and slimes are all fine and dandy enemies. But what about a FREAKIN' HUGE DRILL MACHINE?
This thing is out to get you, so you better run (mostly jump) as fast as you can!

Now that looks like a map that would be fun to explore!

Luminox's caves are home to many dangerous creatures, including... worms.
This enemy is responsible for moving rock and dirt around, in order to create tunnels.
An enemy peeks from behind the dirt. It's purpose? To drill and dig, incessantly...
Water, spikes and worms. How could anyone possibly traverse this room? If only we had some kind of upgrade to deal with all these hazards...
The caves underneath Luminox.
The Architect didn't waste any time. His machines were deployed in order to dig and expand his dominion.
Luminox clearly has been altered beyond recognition, with machines now operating in every corner.

A generator room, currently it has no power.
A mechanical spring in the middle of a spike pit. Careful platforming is required!
A landing site with a stationed ship. Could troopers from the Galactic Firm have landed on Luminox aswell?
A menacing enemy stands in the middle of the room. Prepare to fight!
A look at some of Luminox's first rooms.
Even though it gives off vibes of being a technologically advanced planet, you'll be able to explore natural and colorful biomes aswell.
Stay tuned for updates on those different biomes!

Colors are fun! That's the selling point of the GameBoy Color.
So, a collectable called "Irisium" that allows you to unlock different colors for your suit and shot seems like a good addition!
#gameboy #indiedev #indiegame #metroidvania #gbstudio
Compared to Nebulon, Luminox is a way more technologically advanced planet.
Finally started piecing together the Landing Zone, the first Luminox area you will see in the game.
#gameboy #indiedev #indiegame #metroidvania #gbstudio
Finally done with the first Galactic Firm terminal room, enjoy the ambience!
Here you'll be able to check if the current planet you're on is habitable by humans. If not, you'll then be able to move on and explore the next one!

Hello everyone, finally back to working on UTOPIA after a long break, we're getting back on track!
Finally have a new enemy that I can show off, the Gloox! Apparently these ones figured out the secret to immortality...
#gameboy #indiedev #indiegame #metroidvania #gbstudio
Glad to see I made the list! Thank you 🤩

Hey everyone, I've noticed I got a bunch of new followers lately, I'm really grateful! 🥰
Haven't had the time lately to work on UTOPIA as much, but I hope everyone's enjoying the DEMO!
Here's a small trailer I made for it, enjoy!
#gameboy #indiedev #indiegame #metroidvania #gbstudio
Thank you, I'm really glad you enjoyed the demo!
And super happy you liked the shmup section, I was afraid it would turn away people looking for a pure metroidvania, even if they're super short!
Hey everyone!
I have finally updated the DEMO of my GBC metroidvania game, UTOPIA.
DEMO LINK: felrasyr.itch.io/utopia
Tons of improvements have been added, I hope you all enjoy the experience and look forward to the full release!

Log Book Menu
Meganeura creature entry
Gloop creature entry
Toxarab creature entry
Some creature entries from the new Log Book menu.
Scanning enemies will be entirely optional, but it sure will feel good to watch this list get filled up as you go through the game!
#retrogames #gameboy #indiedev #indiegame #metroidvania #gbstudio
Thank you!
And that's a total coincidence since I've never seen that video before ahah
The biomes you will explore on the planet Nebulon!
From overgrown forests, to cave tunnels and decrepit hideouts, every new area will surprise you in visual style.
The other two explorable planets will be equally diverse!

Welcome to Space Station Serenity, the starting point to your adventure.
Utopia is a metroidvania for the Gameboy Color, these are the first few rooms you will see in the game!
