Continuing the spotlight on our enemy roster with another Ignotum.
Skully is here to eat everything in its path, and give its victims nightmares in the process.

Sorry for the absence, things have been chaotic on our side.
Just as chaotic is Catty, one of the bosses for our game, here in full mighty glory.

This weekend we had the privilege to be at Barcelona Game Fest, to show attendants our game.
It was great getting feedback, and meeting fellow Portuguese devs, who were super nice and helpful.

We are inspired by PS1 games, where the backgrounds where pre-rendered snapshots of 3d Environments.
We wanted that fixed camera look, but with our own twist. Every shot in our game is hand painted! Here's a look.

We've had a lot of different content shown for our Mondays.
But today, we get to show a first: music!
Here's the battle theme for Mother Dread. The ideal music for monster slaying.

Throughout her exam, Beatrix is going to be slaying a lot of different Ignotum aliens.
Meet our first enemy: Swirly!
Despite the name, it's a vicious monster, with sharp teeth, wriggly tentacles and a long tongue.

Meet Beatrix's brother and mentor: Locke Lyndon.
A skilled gunman, he is one of the top ranked Killers, supervising Beatrix.
His calm demeanor and unwavering courage occasionally slide, to let out the odd grin.

Meet our protagonist: Beatrix Lyndon!
Though only 16, she's already an immensely skilled swordswoman versed in the magic arts.
She's brash and quick to dive to danger, yet she has an unshakable sense of justice.
