I want to thank the people who played the demo these last weeks, your feedback is precious to make the game appreciable for everyone!

I'm currently adding new content, such as flowers that fade after some time.

What is a release without a trailer? 2 weeks late = better than nothing

Check out the demo on itch, answer the feedback form, join the discord for updates :D

The Glorious Colony by Klayr Simulation game with insect-like creatures

On a completely different topic, I made a demo of my own game, an ant colony automation game called "The Glorious Colony" and I'm looking for playtesters!

Rhombus is out! I worked on this project as a sound designer.

If you like non-linear puzzles, give it a try, it's very well designed and quite challenging after you've learned the core mechanics.

Rhombus releases in 24h!

Here's a small retrospective of how the game's level design evolved from the first prototype 3 months ago jam all the way to the final version.

Made a small patch today, to help the player to understand how to feed a larva.

If you want to give it a try, download the game from the itch page!

I published a gameplay demo of my ant colony/factory game

If you like that sort of game, or just the idea of managing an ant colony, please give it a try, it's free!

I also have a Discord server if you want to give me feedback.

Tu réitères
Je te dis que c'est complètement abusé de dire "3 mois à plein temps" parce que en pratique c'est plutôt moins d'une semaine en cumulé (les séances ne sont pas consacrées qu'à la taxe Zucman, loin de là!)
Tu me réponds en redonnant ce chiffre sorti de nulle part.

Nan tu peux pas dire ça

La problématique actuelle c'est de boucler un budget
Il semblerait qu'il faille faire des économies (je sais pas d'où sort le chiffre de 40 milliards exactement)
Donc soit baisser les dépenses, soit augmenter les recettes.

#SteamNextFest is coming close to its end and I've updated Rhombus' demo again.
The game now has music/ambient sounds (thanks to @bycob.bsky.social) as well as a couple minor improvements.

Hello ! I was busy doing QoL and tutorials, and I don't have much visual things to show these days.

Now you can jump on any idle ant and assign them a task. Of course, when you have a lot of ants, you should rather use the automation system!

Procedurally generated terrain with dark unexplored areas.

Procedurally generated terrain with dark unexplored areas.

My first attempt at hiding what's beneath...

Since my world is procedural, I have to compute the distance to the wall at runtime. I used a compute shader with multiple passes.

Now I need to make it look better than this 😅

L'association IA = couteux est simple mais fallacieuse.
Pour certains processus l'IA permet justement d'économiser des operations.

En l'occurence c'est pas forcément le cas, mais upscale les vidéos par IA permet de les stocker à une plus basse résolution et donc d'économiser de la place.

Que vous soyez attaché à debunker les fantasmes liés à l'intelligence artificielle et calmer les ardeurs à ce sujet, je peux comprendre.

Mais Luc Julia est un escroc qui ment sur son CV pour avoir une présence médiatique, j'ai du mal à voir pourquoi vous voudriez le défendre.

Game capture with drawn arrows. Seeing the image doesn't really help understanding what you see.
