This wind from the depths of the earth, which is currently blocked, can be very useful to you. This way, I present a challenge for the player.

Look at the waterfall, several particle systems (among other things) work together to create the falling water effect. The #pixelart purists will say it’s cheating... I don’t know, I was just passing by. (Making Kauldron)

In Kauldron, visit your guide throughout the adventure, to be imbued with their ancient wisdom.

Although the game is in #pixelart, the main menu unfolds in "traditional" art. Subtle particles and gentle character animations bring it to life. WIP, yet it already breathes mystery and adventure. Don’t you feel it?

When you bring more than one object, they awaken in sequence, each finding its rightful place—accompanied by a gentle motion. #indiedev #pixelart

And what becomes of the secret objects you uncover on your journey? They awaken within the cabin, a place that serves as a living, visual archive of your discoveries.

Collecting an item should feel like a magical moment, so the animation needs to be uplifting and rewarding.
In this case, we tried with a huge mushroom.

Continuing with the animations. This time, the cauldron detects that you are carrying a skeleton, glows, and shudders when you drop it next to it.

We already have a great animation to celebrate the achievement of rescuing a skeleton.
We also have a particle system for the points where they tell you their particular story. (Sorry for the mix of languages)
