Thank you so much for playing my game and for the review! 🙏🙏🙏 You're absolutely right, the narration could have been smoother. I'll try to work on this.

In case you don't know, I have an itch page with some free mini games https://oneiricworlds.itch.io/ . I shall showcase them a bit from time to time. Don't hesitate to check them out! It goes from chill adventure to hardcore stealth, space fight to co-op splatoon like.

It is indeed! It's like a treasure chest with childhood drawings...

Oneiric Worlds @oneiricworlds.bsky.social · Jul 24

During the 12 years of dev of Zefyr, I filled in a few sketchbooks with various stuff from code to art and design. It's quite rewarding to look back at them now and see how far I've gone 🙂

One of the first concepts I made for the Thief Guild years ago. It ended up in the mood board for the 1st dojo.

Alright then! Thanks a lot for getting the itch version! I made a few fixes since the release, but I couldn't get the chance to update the itch version yet. This should come next week!

Oneiric Worlds @oneiricworlds.bsky.social · Jul 21

You're right, you should shoot it with the magnetic bow indeed. Maybe it's a bug. Try again from various angles maybe? This should enable some blueish platform on which you can walk to cross the chasm. Maybe you already enabled it? If not please send the details on my discord linktr.ee/oneiricworlds

The main character of the game went through many evolutions as I improved in 3D modeling and texturing. What a journey!

And another texture practice round from years ago.
It was really fun to do back then! I learnt so much by studying other video games.

A bit of making-of again: this is how I design characters for my game.
1 - pen & paper sketch
2 - clean concept
3 - 3D model + textures
4 - in game integration

Hello there! I discover this a bit late, but would you mind adding me to the indie studio starter pack? I've release my game last month and I'm still updating it. Thank you sooo much for your interest 🙏🙏(store.steampowered.com/app/1344990/...)

Years ago, when I began to work on my game, this is how I learnt how to create textures: I studied from Zelda, Beyond Good and Evil, Okami, Torchlight:
1 - Look closely at screenshots from the games
2 - Try to spot the repeating pattern
3 - Redraw them with simple pen & paper 📝
