Hand animating got a little... out of hand...

Development hijinks - when something does not work, but at least you can laugh about it.

Finished Forgedboar - Spirit Animal materialized into a flaming exploding boar!
Slowly crawling towards the end with the hands. Static poses already work, found some issues with swinging animations.

Coming back with #DoneThisWeek
New weapon added to the game! Flaming boar head that shoots exploding tusks 🤯 🐗
Can't get much cooler than that!
Just some more effects need to be made.

Still working on hands too.

New weapon in development!
Shoot tusks that gets stuck in the enemies from a flaming boar head. Smash foes in melee. Detonate projectiles.

Altough boar themed, for sure it won't be boring 🐗

Prototype already done, here are some concept arts!

Shoggoth 👁️‍🗨️
Forgotten servants of Elder Things, rebelled against their masters.
Now conjured into the Dreamlands.
Eyes blooming from the dark.
Voices echoing the screams of their creators.

Deep within the Temple of Yog-Sothoth the path leads to the Observatory - the final arena where players will face the ancient terror, Umr At-Tawil.

Here’s a first look at the battleground

Arena model is finally done! UVs prepared, the next thing to do is to add textures.
Also, aligning remaining things to submazes design change.

Naacaloth 🌌
Dream-wanderers of a lost civilization.
Seekers of truths no mortal could hold, their minds consumed by Yog-Sothoth.
Now only hollow husks remain.
Staring into the cosmic abyss, guardians of the forbidden temple 👁️

Sub mazes system is ready! That was a huge change in our design but we managed to implement it painlessly 🦾 More on that in part 2.

Additionally, boss arena is slowly coming together. Umr At-Tawil deserves great enviro.

BoaredDog is back! Glimpse into what we're working at right now:
Having larger mazes with each level doesn't scale well, performance and gameplay wise. That's why we're implementing Sub-Mazes - smaller chunks with specific per biome mechanics.

Back with #donethisweek
Umr At-Tawil is ready to fight, with a full set of attacks! In the future, he might get some new moves, but for now, we're satisfied.
Next - the arena.

P.S. No updates for next two weeks ➡️ Boared Dog on vacation! 🏖️

Tornado attack! Second to last attack that we want to develop for now (more may come in the future, but other things have higher priority).

We are very satisfied with how the fight is shaping up and can't wait to let you play it!

#gamedev #indiedev #lovecraft
August 9, 2025 at 3:19 PM
New boss attack.
Try not to get crushed by fists coming from under the ground! It gets a bit crazy when combined with other attacks.

That one was quick and very pleasant to implement.

Will you be able to break the barrier of The Guardian of the Gate?

Weekly progress time.
We focused on special boss mechanic, that we won't reveal fully - you need to play to see it!
Apart from that, added sounds to attacks and some more effects and animations.
Blocked the arena too, already excited how cool it'll look!

All we've done so far with Umr At-Tawil has been collected and combined into a working (still very early) version of a #bossfight! Finally playable, with lots of moves and improvements still on the way.
Very proud of what we already have!
