I finished fixing all (known) bugs after the systems rework in Light Descends. Now I need to put some lore rewards, translate them, and the second level update will be ready!

Also, have a preview of the new visuals for the first level altar 😉

Genial ver como avanza! Puedo sugerir que revises la paleta de colores del fondo y la interfaz? Tengo la sensación de que con un coste muy bajo mejoraría el look una barbaridad.
De todas formas, gran trabajo 👏🏻

Es que YouTube si el thumbnail no tiene una cara de 😱 y veinte flechitas rojas, con un letrero the "they didn't expect THIS"... entonces nada

Light Descends by MiguelMJ A puzzle platformer where you must stay in the light so darkness doesn't consume you.

The content for the second level in Light Descends (barquero.itch.io/light-descends) is almost done, but the update will be delayed a bit because I'm reworking some systems and elements to make them more reusable, and speed up future developments.

Hii, I'm looking for job as Unity dev, game design or QA. I've +5 years of experience.

If you know any studio big or indie with open position (I'm currently looking at commons webs). Thanks!

Trailer for the demo of Light Descends!

Darkness hurts you, torches are keys, and you must follow a trail into a misterious labyrinth governed by ancient gods.

Play it for free now barquero.itch.io/light-descends. The development needs your feedback!

The first 80% of the game takes 80% of the time. The final 20% takes... the other 80%.

It's a long road. But you're on it. Keep moving. You're closer than you think.

Roguelight by Daniel Linssen The deeper you travel the darker it gets, and you only have your arrows to light the way.

Another #indiegame recommendation until I release the trailer for Light Descends.

Finding 🏹🔥 Roguelight 🏹🔥 was an extraordinary coincidence, because I had already created mine, and it was great to see another approach to a light and dark mechanic.

(si te he entendido bien) mola el tesoro abstracto si luego los jugadores puede venderlo en caso de no servirles a ellos mismos. Eso si les gusta tasarlo, regatear... A mi solía molarme

+ Just a little lock-and-key exploration driven action platformer.

+ Actually dude, it's a metroidvania.

+ That's what I said, lock-and-key exploration driven action platformer.

Conozco personalmente gallegos que hablan con tanto acento como los de la serie sin fingirlo... No se si los actores lo fingirán pero suena tal cual estando allí.
PD: me has desbloqueado la necesidad de que Kojima haga público un ranking de sus producciones gallegas favoritas

I don't have much to showcase yet about the second level of Light Descends. I'll be instead recommending indies I played this month!

The 1st one: 🩸Ichorus🩸. Challenging and SUPER cool visuals. Feels like a little cousin of Blasphemous, but bloodier.

Every piece of your feedback is and has been invaluable! The most problematic aspect for now are translations... I want to be make sure they are fully fixed in the next update.
Apart from that, people seem to like the game. That motivates me a lot!

I don't know if this is new or I'm just noticing, but I've seen some indie devs linking Tumblr profiles.

Anyone knows if there's audience for indie games in there?

Light Descends by MiguelMJ A puzzle platformer where you must stay in the light so darkness doesn't consume you.

I plan to make a small trailer for the Light Descends demo (already playable on barquero.itch.io/light-descends) to attract more playtesters, but it's been years since I last did video editing.

Any recommendation of free software for this? #indiedev #solodev #playmygane #indiegame
