Worked on the basic boss states today.
Still figuring out the core system, there are a lot of ways to approach it, but right now, the goal is something that lets me prototype the boss properly

It’s been a tough, slow, and meaningful journey working on Ellan, but things finally feel like they’re clicking.
Thanks to everyone who followed along, gave feedback, or just showed support.
Excited for what’s coming next year :)

Doing some early prototyping for a boss area in Ellan: The Lost Soul.
Still a rough concept :)

A little behind-the-scenes look at how the wind shader works in Ellan: The Lost Soul
Wind really makes a great impact on the scene and makes it feel alive. It is one of my favorite parts of a game

Put together some basic grounded rules that’ll guide most of the future level design for Ellan.
I’ll start prototyping from January, just need to wrap up some contract work first

Hope you’re all enjoying the holidays — and getting plenty of gaming time too
I’m planning to finally play a few games from my backlog. What about you?

Played a bit of Journey today. Still one of my all-time favourites, the desert in that game is truly special.
Desert worlds just hit differently. Also gathering real-life desert references for Ellan

These last few days of the year always feel the calmest to me.
There’s something quietly magical about this time like everything slows down for a moment :)

Progress on Ellan is going well — slow, but steady.
Hopefully, in the coming week,s I’ll be able to show some of it :)

On weekends, I somehow spend more time thinking about what to play…
than actually playing anything at all.
That realization hit a little too hard 😅

I got so tired of packing texture maps into different channels in Krita for my 3D models that I finally gave up…
and made a custom tool in the engine to do it faster 😅

Steam Winter Sale be like: “You don’t need this game.”
Me: adds it to the backlog anyway 😭
My backlog was already huge, and somehow I made it worse 😅

Big breakthrough today on Ellan.
I think I’ve finally cracked the core gameplay loop and how it ties into the story.
Lots of ideas are flowing right now in my head
I’ll be sharing sneak peeks as I start working on this. Super excited for what’s ahead

Did a bit of work on the sand shader today and optimized it a little.
There’s a subtle sand wave animation in there too, but it kinda got lost thanks to the video quality 😅
Didn’t get much time to record it properly.
