Can you see her?

Just a small animation doodle we made from the latest concept art of our main character Luce.

Hope you like it!

The Blocklings now have friend/foe logic, react to being attacked and make some random mistakes, such as forgetting being chased by a green block.

Umbra's Light Concept Art: "The Frozen Outskirts"

Echoes of long fallen warriors haunt this land. Clinging to faded glory that will never return, as time devours itself struggling against the inevitable.

They don't bite (yet).

We are currently working on our NPC system. It is based on Unreals Behavior Tree and currently uses various systems like custom Tasks, EQS, Decorators and the Perception Module.

Did you know about features like Coyote Time and Jump Buffering in games?

I find it faszinating how sometimes these details separate a mediocre game from a great game.

And do you maybe have another great example for stuff like this?

Started working on the Damage System of Umbra's Light 💀

Still very rough, but don't we all start somewhere?

Improving our Indie 3D Platformer's camera system.

Did we miss some must-haves for a good 3D Platformer camera? 🤔 If so, let us know!

Did you know game developers use various custom development and debug views? 🐞

Here's a short video of what the developers see vs what the players will see.
