Updated the wind system after some great feedback from all the platforms.

Had to switch to a new algorithm — wind’s trickier than it looks 😅

What do you guys think now?

Been working on the wind system for Ellan. Here’s a little look at how the grass reacts to it.

Still plenty to refine, what do you think?

What’s one small detail in a game that completely pulled you in or made you stop and admire it?

For me, it’s the volumetrics and artistic lighting — something like the Korok Forest from Breath of the Wild.

Did some work on the grass for Ellan!

Now I can blend and add more colors to it, plus on the wind system.

Next step — improving performance and making the wind feel even better.

Tell me what you guys think :)

I’ve been thinking about creating a new shader for the grass in Ellan. The current one works, but it feels a bit limited and doesn’t give much room to experiment.

Which game, in your opinion, has the best-looking or most satisfying grass system?

It’s been around 10 months since my last post. Life got pretty intense with back-to-back medical emergencies and a pile of bills that came with them. Things are finally settling down now, and I’m glad to say development on Ellan is officially resuming.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays, everyone! 🎄

Hope you’re all having a great time. It’s finally that time of year to relax and tackle my never-ending game backlog. 🎮

Wishing you all the best—enjoy the holidays!

I’m back from my trip and ready to jump back into game dev! It’s a bit hard to get started after a break, but I’ve got so many new ideas I can’t wait to try out. 😁

Here’s a short clip from one of the locations.

Hope everyone’s doing well!

After a lot of thought, I’ve decided to take a break for a while. I’m heading out on a trip and will be back in December. Lately, burnout has been hitting hard, and something just feels... off.

Fixed another ton of bugs, including a major one that was occurring on AMD GPUs. These past few days have been super stressful, and I’m definitely feeling a bit burned out.

Hope you’re all doing well out there—how’s your week going?

Ellan is a beautiful first-person adventure where life and death intertwine. Guided by a light, explore dream-like worlds, uncover lost answers, and confront the illusion of choice.

Playing Control by Remedy Entertainment, and I’m loving it! The graphics with RTX on look amazing, and the flying ability - Totally my favorite part!

Another update – after 19 days of struggle, I’ve finally fixed all the errors and bugs in Ellan! Now, the project is in the most stable state since day one, and we’re finally shifting our focus from technical hurdles to the creative side.

YAY 🥳🥳🥳

Added more visual hints, optionally accessed via the new question mark icon, to the hose untying puzzle in the narrative adventure game I'm making, ◀Future Ghost▶

I’m so happy right now!

Just fixed this really annoying bug in Ellan that’s been driving me nuts for days—and somehow fixed it without breaking a single other thing 😁

Give me snackssssss for this oneeeee! 😋

Looks like the weekend is finally here, but I still don’t have any free time to play video games! 🥲

By the way, this is Ellan!

I’ve finally decided to scrap the old reflection system—it was way too messy. The new one is much more stable, though there’s still work to do.

Let me know your thoughts! 😅

The first 10 minutes of my comic-like narrative adventure ◀Future Ghost▶ squeezed into less than 1 minute.
