#thedetectoristguild. Greenhouse level. Trying out the native air absorption settings for 3D audio. Fades in the low frequencies as you get closer rather than just everything getting louder. #sound #metaldetecting #indiegame #solodev #gamedev #gameaudio

Is it too simple? I see lots of fancy interactive main menus and wonder if this game needs to be the same. I'd rather not distract from the song.

I'm not much of an artist, but I was all about lego as a kid. Maybe that lead to voxels...

Next Fest is over, and we're back at it, going through all your feedback (thanks a ton!).
To make the wait a bit easier, here's a quick look at how elemental damage works in the game.

Oh, and the demo's still up if you wanna check it out!

The Kickstarter for the Detectorist Guild is now live.

Feels like the longest of longshots. I can see how people can easily attach their motivation to continue pursuing their creative work on a pinch point like this. Worst case, it's a learning opportunity.
