What I knew I wanted from the start, was, You start at a lower level, but gradually, the game becomes more vertical and new challenges arise with that gameplay shift. Hopefully, keeping things as fresh and varied as possible. Wishlist Asthenia: store.steampowered.com/app/3181660/...

You know, Asthenia also features some twisted larger-scale challenges.. I didn't want to settle just for regular enemies, so, I decided back then to give myself more frustrations and problems to solve, but hey, it's working out quite nicely!:) Wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/3181660/...

These days, I been going over gameplay adjustments past demo sections and reminded how cool and badass to feel to discover secret stuff that make you more powerful in the game (and at the same time-up the challenge). Wishlist Asthenia: store.steampowered.com/app/3181660/... #indiegame #gamedev

Another thing I wanted for the game was to populate each unique area with mostly new enemy types & even when limitations arise, figure out a way to alter appearances to create some visual (as well gameplay) variety within reason given its scope. #gamedev #indiegame #gamedesign #indiedev

Hlods on individual levels keep crushing for long time now, so.. approaching the hard way: manually setting draw distances (despite my cull volume which does not behave exactly as I need it to). So yes, generally battling as much optimization as possible!

One of today's tasks, while awaiting on the progress of the co-dev, is, populating the world with more letters and secrets. Quite challenging to decide the flow of the "revelations" and the pacing but absolutely fun to figure those things out. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #videogames

There is one aspect of the game I'm making (aside the art direction emphasis) that I cannot wait for players to experience, and that is, world building. Spent many years on the side, creating all the secrets and lore of the world to make it feel like a "real" place with its own set of rules.
