Lofi Epic - Dev Log #3 - Magic Portals

Here I've added MAGIC PORTALS!


The player can see through the portal into the other location, and they can also jump through themself.

I am still developing the actual ideas of what to do with my portals in the game.  Yet to be finalised!  But these are just test ones for now!

Lofi Epic - Dev Log #2 - Guards, Animals, Banners, Portals

Here I've added...

• Some GUARDS with basic detection AI.  (They detect you based on whether you're standing in the light.)
• Some ANIMALS with basic ecology AI (they get hungry and thirsty, and go to eat and drink as needed.  They flee from you if they detect you).
• Added CLOTH BANNERS that blow in the wind.
• A basic DAY/NIGHT CYCLE.
• I wrote my own cross-platform CUSTOM PLAYER CONTROLLER.  I'm using InControl so I can support Windows, Xbox One, PS4, etc.  It has support for keyboard/mouse, or gamepad.

Lofi Epic - Dev Log #1 - Map Blockout

This is a prototype I'm building, which might become my next released game.

It's working project title is "Lofi Epic", because I want it to feel epic and meaningful, to have a resonant story with a good start, middle and end, but to be able top produce it as a lone developer, it has to be lofi!



Here I've blocked out the map for the game in very rough terms.

Lofi Epic - Dev Log #0 - Map Foundations

This is a glimpse of the first steps of putting together my Lofi Epic prototype.

I started by blocking out the map based on an old piece I did in high school in 1995!



I always intended this map to be fuel for a game, or a book (or even a movie or TV show).

So here goes!

My concept for this game is for it to be an "immersive adventure game", taking a lot from the immersive sim genre, but also from adventure games such as King's Quest 3!

Follow along to see the progress.
