Arena model is finally done! UVs prepared, the next thing to do is to add textures.
Also, aligning remaining things to submazes design change.

Naacaloth 🌌
Dream-wanderers of a lost civilization.
Seekers of truths no mortal could hold, their minds consumed by Yog-Sothoth.
Now only hollow husks remain.
Staring into the cosmic abyss, guardians of the forbidden temple 👁️

#gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiedev #indiegame #rogue #horror #lovecraft

Diagram for architecture. Abstractions and interfaces over moving parts. Separate responsibilites. Clean code at all times, even for small stuff. Sounds obvious, but can be easily forgotten during rapid development. And boom, design change that could've break half of the app - done in just few days.

Implementing sub mazes was a challenge to our codebase - and it passed without any issues.
Always plan and think before implementation. We knew ahead of time that our maze generation will go through design changes and prepared for such scenario. #SOLID exists for a reason.

Iä!

#WeeklyProgress time ⌛

Sub mazes system is ready! That was a huge change in our design but we managed to implement it painlessly 🦾 More on that in part 2.

Additionally, boss arena is slowly coming together. Umr At-Tawil deserves great enviro.

#gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiedev #indiegame

GOTY 🐗

The piglets in our game love to run around and make a mess 🐽

It's called Wild Terrain and you can wishlist it on Steam! 🐗

#indiegame #gamedev #UE5

Iä!
BoaredDog is back! Glimpse into what we're working at right now:
Having larger mazes with each level doesn't scale well, performance and gameplay wise. That's why we're implementing Sub-Mazes - smaller chunks with specific per biome mechanics.

#gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiedev #indiegame

Iä!
Back with #donethisweek
Umr At-Tawil is ready to fight, with a full set of attacks! In the future, he might get some new moves, but for now, we're satisfied.
Next - the arena.

P.S. No updates for next two weeks ➡️ Boared Dog on vacation! 🏖️

Tornado attack! Second to last attack that we want to develop for now (more may come in the future, but other things have higher priority).

We are very satisfied with how the fight is shaping up and can't wait to let you play it!

#gamedev #indiedev #lovecraft

New boss attack.
Try not to get crushed by fists coming from under the ground! It gets a bit crazy when combined with other attacks.

That one was quick and very pleasant to implement.
