Hi everyone! It's been a while. Development on Obsidian Legion is continuing at a good pace, however it's becoming harder to showcase new features without spoiling the game too much. But we hear your feedback. Here's a sneak peak on the map system!

Here's another piece of Key art done for Obsidian Legion! This one depicts the encounter with our game's first boss! As you might have seen, we are using this one a lot for our banners and promo assets! #indiedev #conceptart #illustration

"Ceaceless Discharge" Another illustration from my Dark Souls Series made in 2018! Maybe not the best boss, but its setting is memorable and certainly had an impact on me! #DarkSouls #videogames #fromsoftware #souls

If you're struggling with level design I personally use 2 methods to get the ball rolling. Start with a place that's visually interesting, and actually write down everything that happens. For Big Catch I conceived a simple 2 cylinders and connecting geo, and drew up simple progression.

A cinematic look at a stage from The Big Catch Tacklebox

A crude pen drawing showing the shapes of the level from the side, with arrows drawn to illustrate the way the player beats the level.

A screenshot of the level from the same perspective as the previous pen drawing, to show how the previous pen drawing translated into the final level.

We've been messing around a lot with this biome trying to nail the ambience for it and I think it's starting to convey a subtle sense of danger. #gamedev #indiegame
