People commented before how visual effects were not visible enough and the feel of impact wasn't there, so we worked a lot on that in the past few weeks, these are the results. #gaming #indiegames #gamedev #madewithunity

It’s amazing how much sound can elevate the feel of mechanics. Our jump feels so much better now that the audio is in #gaming #indiegame #gamedev #indiegamedev #DarkQueenOfSamobor

Black stripes at the top and bottom during cinematic segments, crazy how a minor detail like that can elevate the feel of the game #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegames #steam #madewithunity #DarkQueenOfSamobor

tbh I underestimated how much of a challenge would be to optimize a 2.5D game with detailed and diverse environments to run at a stable 60fps on lower end machines especially when planning to eventually release on The Switch 2 learned quite a lot already #gamedev #indiedev

For combat mechanics, we are taking inspiration from God of War and from Prince of Persia The Lost Crown. What do you think? #gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity #gaming
