We present the concept art of the Magic Lamp 🕯️
Its glow repels the corrupt fog that spreads through the monastery. During the game, the hunter will use it to cross cursed areas and uncover hidden secrets

🕹️ Ever heard of Coyote Time in game dev?
It’s a tiny delay (0.1–0.2s) after leaving a platform where jumps still register — named after cartoon coyotes who hang in mid-air before falling. 🐾
💡 Adds fairness and smoother controls
Use it. Players will thank you.

For our survival horror game, we're implementing a Fresnel material to highlight pickups🕯️
Since items in this genre usually don’t stand out much, exploration is key
We’ve added a soft blinking effect (still being fine-tuned), to help players identify pickups

Odyssey Narrative Game –Dev Update!
I was about to release it… but decided to take it one step further.
To deepen player engagement, Odi’s perception will now shift based on your choices.
This means the story changes depending on how he sees things — not just what happens.

Lately, I’ve been adding more detail to my City Builder prototype.
✅ I finished implementing the technology system and added a happiness mechanic tied to food supply, which now affects worker speed.
✅I also polished the visuals to give the game a more appealing look. 🎨
