Kauldron (Videojuego en desarrollo) Proyecto comenzado a desarrollar a raรญz de mi canal de twitch (ThinkTheToad); se trata de un plataformas en 2D lateral, con una ligera perspectiva y un pixel art en una gama reducida de 10 colores.โ€ฆ

Yo mismo estoy con Kauldron. Soy solodev, asรญ que demoro bastante en llevarlo a cabo. Hago directos en twitch donde muestro los avances y demรกs vainas.

Trying to make this interactable pumpkin part of a cute little corner. Those branches are my hint that a special gameplay moment is close.

Maybe those who know me and still donโ€™t follow it should follow this account. It only offers quality and good vibes.

A #gamedev needs a #CreativeSanctuary to think, draw, and read in peace.
What does your special room or corner at home say about you?
For me, having a touch of nature is essential.

This wind from the depths of the earth, which is currently blocked, can be very useful to you. This way, I present a challenge for the player.

A good color choice is essential, usually not too many. In this case, muted greens for the swamp contrast with orange for key elements. Ten in total.

What used to be just a simple rock you could drag around is now a curious nut hanging from its stem, throw it and use it wisely in Kauldron!

Sure!
Thanks for the interest. I already have a trusted musician by my side, but it never hurts to meet other musicians.

Hey! Thanks for your appreciation. The game is currently in an alpha-beta stage and I havenโ€™t released any demo yet. Thereโ€™s still the testing phase before the demo. I estimate it will be available in less than 5 months.

Here are a couple of examples.
The color palette varies slightly depending on the area. It adapts to create new atmospheres.
Thanks for your comment!

Look at the waterfall, several particle systems (among other things) work together to create the falling water effect. The #pixelart purists will say itโ€™s cheating... I donโ€™t know, I was just passing by. (Making Kauldron)

In Kauldron, visit your guide throughout the adventure, to be imbued with their ancient wisdom.

Although the game is in #pixelart, the main menu unfolds in "traditional" art. Subtle particles and gentle character animations bring it to life. WIP, yet it already breathes mystery and adventure. Donโ€™t you feel it?

When you bring more than one object, they awaken in sequence, each finding its rightful placeโ€”accompanied by a gentle motion. #indiedev #pixelart

And what becomes of the secret objects you uncover on your journey? They awaken within the cabin, a place that serves as a living, visual archive of your discoveries.

Collecting an item should feel like a magical moment, so the animation needs to be uplifting and rewarding.
In this case, we tried with a huge mushroom.

Continuing with the animations. This time, the cauldron detects that you are carrying a skeleton, glows, and shudders when you drop it next to it.

We already have a great animation to celebrate the achievement of rescuing a skeleton.
We also have a particle system for the points where they tell you their particular story. (Sorry for the mix of languages)

Your house serves as a showcase for secret collectibles. It's a visual inventory where you can read about the game's lore and curiosities.

Two new pieces that will serve as decoration for the heart of the game; the swamp glade.
