An old box art concept. We took a different path, but it’s a neat look at how things could’ve turned out

Star Iliad on Steam Dive into the guts with Star Iliad, a retro-future action adventure game. Play as Blythe Braves, a star ranger stranded within the labyrinthine organs of the mythical Star Whale. Fight fearsome foes, ...

Thanks! The game is a Metroidvania. More Metroid than Castlevania - though there’ll be cool magic-spell tech too.

A little tropey, but we've got regenerating blocks, ala Metroid. Think these blocks are slept on - immense gameplay potential!

Progress on the CHIPs Menu (our charm/badge system)

In order for powerups to take effect, they must be slotted on the motherboard. Plan is to allow the motherboard to be expandable

Recently added a slide-off-edge transition to Blythe. It’s a small detail, but it goes a long way.

The same fall blocks can be used to plug actively erupting geysers. Gotta squeeze every drop of gameplay from these😤

Wow, idles are popular. Come to think of it, we never showed off the main character's idle🤔

Compared with other NPC anims, Blythe's idle is more reined in so the user feels more like they're in direct control
