Black stripes at the top and bottom during cinematic segments, crazy how a minor detail like that can elevate the feel of the game

Back to improving the combat system: enemies get exhausted when they miss you several times in a row 😮‍💨

The animation is probably not the best and needs to be changed but hey, at least it’s functional!

Early testers said our character movement felt too “floaty”, especially during jumps

We made some tweaks, including adding fake gravity

It feels more grounded and satisfying now, but it’s still a WIP

What do you think?

Improving the combat further, knockdown has entered the chat 😄

It needs some tweaking and polish but it already makes combat so much more fun and juicy

We already shared the close up look of these guys in engine, and here’s the concept art that preceded the models 🧛

And another quick update:

Enemies no longer just dash to attack you, they can now run up to you and attack both from a distance and up close. Animations and timings still need tweaking, but it’s functional

Quick update:

Our parry system was already in place but not easy to pull off and not obvious enough once you do

Now we have the stun animation on enemies (ignore sliding back for now 🥲)

Quick update: we now have a secret passage mechanic in place

It allows us to hide certain sections of the map

Some collectible items will be tucked away in these hidden spots 🤫

We talked about our studio and hopes & wishes for #DarkQueenOfSamobor and beyond at the biggest Croatian gaming podcast 🎙️

You won’t catch a lot if you’re not from the region, but at least you’ll see and hear the faces behind the game :)

We shared the concept art for these guys a while back, and here are they in-game, they’re not functional yet, but we can finally see them

Soon we’ll feel them too 😁

Any feedback is welcome! 🙇🏻⚔️

We’re blocking out levels and testing our narration system. For now, it's placeholder text and an AI-generated voice, but soon it’ll be replaced by a real voice actor.

Any feedback is welcome!

Quick update: this bug is fixed 🔨

It now works flawlessly, you can push and pull boxes from any side (and while standing next to them)

Animations need a bit more work, but it’s fully functional
