... or actually, 3D to 2D animation workflow in Blender. Fun new way to make VFX haha

Kranbert @kranbert.bsky.social · 9d

Really like how the explosion FX turned out in KaijuStory, using 2D animation, similar to the explosions in Windwaker :D

Today we release a Singleplayer mode for KaijuStory!!! Practice and get a feel for the game using this new mode before challenging other players to battle! #indiedev #ue5 #solodev kranbert.itch.io/kaijustory/d...

KaijuStory!!! v0.7 - Singleplayer mode

To make KaijuStory more accessible for players we decided to add a Singleplayer mode where you can battle as Kaiju or Human against an AI controlled opponent. This is a way for you to try the game out...

Kranbert @kranbert.bsky.social · Apr 27

Kaiju is finally behaving, waits for his/her(?) turn! Soon players who have no friends can try the singleplayer mode

I'm running my first demo playtest for Void Martyrs - a grimdark survival horror about a nun in a space suit.

Damned if you don't.

Working on a singleplayer/practice mode for KaijuStory, and strangely this AI I've created for the Kaiju makes me think about the meme with Spidermans pointing at each other. It plays exactly like me and probably has a midlife crisis too

Fixed a bug where the multiplayer part of the game wasn't accessible for anyone. Someone made big oopsie 🙂

Multiplayer Fix

For the people who have tried to play the KaijuStory at launch, probably noticed you can't play multiplayer against others. We apologize for this and have now fixed the problem. Download the game agai...

I was thinking.. what if I just release a worldwide demo and, when you kill a player, your sword EXPAND?

Would you play it?

Human: Hey, Kaiju... You know it's a turn based game, right?
Kaiju: A what now? *continues total destruction of the city*

Here is the Kaiju in action. Smash is one of the abilities the Kaiju can use to try to crush the opponent hiding in the city. Probably needs some more destruction, debris and smoke :D

It's fun to look back at the very first prototype we made of KaijuStory and compare it to what it looks like now 😂
