This week we've been stuck into AI land to improve the difficulty of our single-player battles. It's a bit hard to show that in a video, so instead here's the effects we added to modify the look of our battle scene!

We're adding a new piece to our turn-based strategy game! It's a little robot that you can spawn mid-battle to get some help fighting off the opponent. He's so cute 🥺
Game is called Kingdom in Pieces and you can get more info with the link in our bio!

We just realized we had the wrong material on the characters so none of them were being impacted by the post-processing effects. So here's the real before and after!

We thought it was time to do a first pass on our post-processing for Kingdom in Pieces! I really like the color adjustment the artist did for this spooky village. What do you think? Leave us a comment if you have any advice to make it better!

Day 12 of our #12daysofgamedev!
For the final day, I wanted to share a look at how we make our characters. It starts with rough sketches, then we do higher-fidelity drawings, and after a lot of work in Blender... it's ready!

That horse was the first character model we did to find the style for Kingdom in Pieces, and we knew something was wrong... but it took us way too long to figure out WHAT the problem was. Must have been a Monday!

This is an appreciation post for Thiago, the artist that has been the other half of the studio since the beginning! He did all the pixel art of While the Iron's Hot, and now he does all the 3D stuff for Kingdom in Pieces.

Today I wanted to (re)share the best advice I have ever received. Don't worry about how it looks at first, just make it exist! Once it's real, you can spend your time on making it look good.

Day 5 of our #12daysof gamedev!
I refused to add PvP for a long time. I was afraid to have to tackle that can of worms, but it just made sense once we playtested the game with friends locally. Plus, our team is 100% remote so... Online it is!

Day 4 of our 12 days of gamedev!
Today, I wanted to share a bit about our process adding new pieces to the game. Our artist preps everything so that it's super easy for me to create the prefab in Unity. As easy as 1, 2, 3!

Day 1 is a famous trick that we used a lot in our first game While the Iron's Hot ➡️ hiding stuff under the scene so it's already loaded and available when the player needs it!

And then when you’re ready, the BATTLE! I’m working on UI to make it a bit more clear who’s turn it is and who’s winning.

We’ve got a camp scene where you can buy base pawns and upgrade them with items. Basically that’s where you prep your army for the battle to come.

Each piece can hold up to 4 items, so that's a lot of variations! We needed a way to show ALLLL the piece informations easily, so I worked on this window. It uses a combo of different elements, including hyperlinks to show a quick definition of an important term!

Speaking of evolving, I made a system that allows you to do just that. In the camp scene you can add peasants to your army, and then drop items on them. Based on the combination you've equipped, the piece will change. Pardon the greyboxey art for now!

On the art side, Thiago's been prepping new miniatures! The idea with these is that a peasant can now get equipped with some items, and the combinations will evolve how they look.
