Nanuka: Secret of the Shattering Moon looks great in the new trailer

Inspired by the style of 90s animation, Nanuka: Secret of the Shattering Moon really does look great with the blend of action-platforming and some huge enemies.

Early concept art of Nanuka. From when we were playing around with ideas, to a more serious look, and then the transformation into her happy, cartoony style!

concept art of Nanuka in her early stages of development. The sketches are different looks we had for Nanuka. With some expressions too.

A little sneak peak on Nanuka's design. We went through a few big design changes from the prototype and MANY different clothing choices for her before we settled on the white gi.

Which of Nanuka's early outfits are your favorite?

Had a great time at @brilliantindietreasures.com in Brighton yesterday. Cool seeing so many friendly faces. Everything from the layout to the drink tokens (gems!) and the clip-on badges was thoughtfully put together. Well done to the organisers and everyone that attended and supported the showcase!👏

My debugger paused at EXACTLY the wrong frame. That poor bloke is living in slow-mo agony 😅 Anyone else catch their characters mid-cringe while debugging?

FULL VOID. A beautifully presented, emotive story about a child fighting back against an AI-dominated dystopia. Designed as an homage to classics like Flashback, Full Void is filled with lovely pixel art and atmospheric Amiga-inspired music.

evercade.co.uk/cartridges/f...

96/365 #365games

Key art for Full Void, depicting the nameless, agender protagonist and their floating mechanical companion, while an AI-controlled dog-like creature searches for them in the background.

Screenshot from Full Void. The protagonist stands before a wall with a low opening in it, beyond which lies a terminal they can interact with. The terminal is connected to something off-screen.

Screenshot from Full Void. The protagonist stands beneath a streetlight at night, looking at a steel fence with a hole in it. The scene is bathed in an eerie violet tint.

Box art for the Evercade release of Full Void, our first single-game cartridge.

What makes combat feel fun to you in a platformer?

We’ve been working on Nanuka’s beat ‘em up-inspired moves, aiming for something fluid, punchy, and satisfying.
