Animation update !

The eye is now rolling and you can interact with the remains from the demons of your unconscious before it dissolves.

This is how our little fellow defeated this monstruous trap that stood between him and his redemption. But beware the several others, they may be not that easy to take down !

New platforms are in place ! And for the first time we are proud to show you the wall jump with the wall slide !

Have you noticed the moving stars in the background ?
We will soon share more on this !

Now that you know how to put boundaries that protect your emotions and soul, you can use it on demand.



As you can see we have some particles bursting out of the shield when it's impacted by an attack. We are thinking about adding some visual effect to the creature attack to notify the player that this specific attack was blocked. Do you think it's too much ? We already have the particles showing that a block happened. Should the player's character have an animation ?

Concentrated Power Attack !

This is what you will be able to cast in Dolus once you gather enough energy through time and defeating your demons.

How could we improve this ? Does it look good to you ?


We also made some progress on a new monster that will be part of the Denial level.

Creepy right ?

Next step is to work on the animations to kill that monster ! You will have to hit it several times to be able to get rid of it !

The ripples of your suffering can bend the reality around you !



We added a new effect when the player takes damages ! /> I am creating this shock wave effect via a shader. It took me a bit of time but it was worth it ! We will add more shaders like this in the future.
Should I make it a bit faster or go further ?

Run for your Life ! Life is a precious thing. Once lost, it can have a tremendous impact on your loved ones.



This giant jellyfish has some bloom on the tentacles and the electric sparks.
Do you think it's a good idea to change the color of the tentacles to red when you hit it ? Should I also change the color of the sparks on some specific actions made by the jellyfish or the player ?

You can check out the demo sound he made for the Denial level :

This is an early concept but we are quite happy with the overall mood of the music !

[Ratgibnak]

We listened to your feedbacks about the effect from the trap hitting the ground and improved it ! It's now shattering in pieces



You can also have a glimpse of a new column that will be part of the Denial level

[Ratgibnak]

We are back from holidays ! Fresh and ready to work hard on the boss from the Denial level ! 💪

Do you recognize it from the artwork that we posted a while ago ? 🔎
All the patterns from the different attacks are now ready. We will show you in the coming weeks all the animations that we have for this boss.
