The pain: every map art pass meant re-choreographing hits and eyelines, but it kept the scene razor sharp.

If that resonates, wishlist Call of Elyndra on Steam and follow along because we’re just getting started. (5/5)

after our move from RPG Maker MZ to Godot in Jan ’25, we trimmed 75–85% of the original dialogue and let blocking, timing, and camera do the heavy lifting.

The fun: finding menace in small motions.

(4/5)

The moment matters because it sets the contract with the player—this is oppression you can push back against. Production-wise, the scene was built with Dialogue Manager plus our in-house cutscene tools (shout-out to Kage and Lucas); (3/5)

Environmental details do the storytelling: tight sightlines force a slow approach through the market, crowd props give him faces to menace, and the square’s open center becomes a stage for his “you work for me now” decree. (2/5)

We staged Vexaris’s arrival in a working farm village to make power feel personal. The palette is warm earth and worn wood, stalls, wagon ruts, low eaves, so his tall, blade-thin silhouette reads instantly as an intrusion. (1/5)

Farming doesn't have to be time-consuming, fishing minigames don't have to be tedious, and dungeon crawling doesn't have to be claustrophobia-inducing. 🌾⚔️🎣

Weapons are permanent parts of your arsenal. You won’t lose progress to breakage, but some gear, such as the bow, will wear down over time and need repair. If something breaks mid-fight, you’ll still have other combat items to rely on, forcing you to adapt your strategy until it’s replaced. (3/3)

Call of Elyndra @callofelyndra.bsky.social · 12d

Ranged combat is also part of the mix, using the bow and other specialized weapons. A lock-on system helps you stay focused on enemies and land precision strikes. Light attacks are quick and reliable, while heavy charged attacks take longer to execute but deal more damage. (2/3)

Combat is designed to feel fluid, responsive, and strategic. The core philosophy draws from classic swordplay, dodging, and the tactical use of the many weapon items you’ll acquire, with enough layered depth to keep things interesting. (1/3)
