💥💥💥 Wishlist on Steam here: store.steampowered.com/app/1264620/Lucen/ 💥💥💥

the game is shaping up greatly, just having the character running around with the grass and sound already gives such a peaceful mood ! good luck for the vertical slice ! Just a detail, but it would look way better if hand was point down during the run animation !

All this improvment is really nice ! 2 "critics" that i would make : 1) lucen looks really rigid, his position is not natural when he's running while having his sword in his hand. It's not really a huge problem, but since all the other animations are so cool, it's really visible 2) i believe the damage types are cool, but i think they should work with a variety of ennemies with vulnerability/resistance, and maybe even environnemental systemic mechanics (like in BotW or Dead cells) where fire damage could start a real fire, electricity would be really dangerous when used in water etc ... It would be more interesting imo than a system of status effects I believe your game is really growing into a good direction and i can't wait to see the second part

i will totally hype this game to all my friends

Awesome video! Thanks so much for pushing forward and inspiring the rest of us to keep going. Can't wait to try your game

It would be cool if there were weather change like snow and storms

The art style in this game is beautiful, its the type of stuff that inspires indie devs to do what they do

Seems like a perfect fit for the Nintendo Switch for me.

Gameplay looks very satisfactionary, much better "feeling" than many other triple A RPG's out there, this project is a proof that in game development passion is the most important thing. As a fellow developer, i suggest checking out unreal's gameplay ability system, it is very deep and well implemented system with built in support for networking of complex effects.

It is interesting to see how a part of the gameplay works but as we are not presented more of the environment, the story or the objective, it is difficult (at least for me) to engage in the progress of this game. We see how it looks we see how it moves but we don't know how the gameloop plays like or what is the story about. I'd like to know more about those as a viewer as well as a potential player

That modelling of the shield looked scary

What happened to this project? I remember being hyped watching all the dev logs but its been a year and its radio silence

You should put the lightening essence in a bottle in the inventory UI and have an animation where it is sparking inside the glass.

Hot dang finally a new devlog!!! The weapons are looking grrrreat

Small suggestion, have the HUD look analog, for a lack of a better word. Make the UI look like it belongs in the world. Other than that it is perfect

YES! Thank you! :)

Look, all I'm saying's that the game would be nicely complimented by some dinosaurs. It's just a fact. Toss a few feathery raptors in there. You know you want to.

i like all these new indie games people are coming up with over quarantine

I have missed these. These devlogs are such an inspiration, and it is so cool to see what you can do.

Maybe Lucen could put away the sword when he's not using it. I think that it would improve his idle and run animations because compared to his other animations they seem very rigid and unnatural. Love everything else though.

Looking real good mate!

This looks incredible!

Got this in my recommended, didnt know why. You earned a sub, awesome stuff man!

Amazing art for the game You got a new subscriber!

You really nailed the lighting and art style in this game. Keep it up, gameplay looks unique and the weapons and damage types fit the fantasy theme you have going on (especially the sword meshes and materials) 👌.

Can you create a weapon crafting system based on the data so instead of collecting different weapons that wont be used you can create, design and enchant the weapon. Therefore the weapon can materialize the personality of the player and grow fond of the weapon. Like in the game cardlife which feature character and weapon customization. I know its going to be hard since I also tried doing 3d games previously but that mechanic kinda gives the weapon more importance and characteristic compared to usual item drops. I hope this helps you to build your dream game and I am already subscribed so I'll be watching your progress. Good luck.

Looks great.

looks pretty nice good luck with it

I love the Items - they look so cool - please add more :D Anyway, keep up the great work ;)

You are a Legend!!

Yooo this looks beautiful

Super exciting work!!! Congrats on the grant, too!!

Looks very good

Great progress!

I'm really happy about the progress of the game will definitely buy it when it comes out

Finally some Update video, great progress man, Shield looks sick!

this looks AMAZING

Still astounded by the sheer quality of what seems to be a very small team. Impressive (AAA) stuff! Also don't worry about the lack of uploads, it just makes each devlog even more impressive!

Congratulations on the grant. It sounds like you've got a really great base for this combat system and the graphics for it all look fantastic!

Congrats on getting the grant! Lucen is looking more amazing each devlog!

Wait, a second devlog? Yessss

Now this, This is epic

One thing that really stands out to me is the way he holds the sword while walking. The fight animations and swings look really cool but the way he holds the sword at arms length is quite unrealistic. I assume the sword is quite heave at least it feel heave when he swings it but holding it like this while walking around would be really hard. Perhaps consider having him rest the sword on his shoulder in the passive stance?

Very nice video man! I wish I had the skill and knowledge to implement a weapons damage type system like yours, into my game... Good job on that.. Also, inventory system, I don't even know where to begin on that :-D I love watching your videos, it gives me inspiration and motivation to improve my own game. Thank you for that! :-)

Hope you will take som inspiration from Genshin Impact too! The story, mechanics and the big open world are top tier.

Congrats on the grant!

Finally new video But there was a lot of progress Loved the vid Keep it up

Congrats on the funding, the game looks very promising so well deserved

Some good shit right here

Hype!

amazing im 13 year old godot game dev and this is soo inspiring

Great Dev Log! would be cool if you had more character customization like clothing or even changing facial features. I feel like it would give more of a personal feel to the game.

omg dat soundtrack so guud.

the sword must be heavy to run around.

the music at 1:56 is beautiful

i tought this was genshin impact lmao well hope your game grow populer ill support you

Why does the grass look so good tho🙆‍♂️

Physics and Ragdolls, please

the fight with the boar kinda reminded me sao

Hurry up and upload again big girl

Always happy to see your progress! I like the effect system and that it's connected to crits. Are crits completely random in the game, or can they be enabled through certain skills or such? And dude, it's so good you already think into the future. The modularity is superb. Not to speak of the weapon system.

Maybe add a standings still animation like breathing or some small movement

Here me out, change the death Animation of the enemies

I thought you would add a function that uses the sword as a torch? It does absorb light after all.

its been 1 year

Noice

soa vibes

Hey, great vid and I love your game it looks just stunning, but some little things I think could be improved (I just want to say that so your game could get even better, but in the end it's just my personal opinion (and sorry if my english is not on point)) 1) I don't know if it's juste me but I feel like some artstyles don't quite match up. For exemple the environment (wich looks sooo damn good) is more stylised but some other things like the essence orb or the gemstone sword looks kinda more detailed and "realistic" in a way. And, for me, that feels a bit off/odd. 2) I guess the UI is still strongly in progress but your game really makes me want an immersive inventory, crafting system, etc. I'm not saying no UI but as someone pointed out, a more analog UI would be soooo good. That's all I had to say, I hope that you find it usefull, on that, happy game dev !

Awesome as usual :) Congrats for your grant! Did you try applying for a megagrant?

How did you make those big trees they look super good

Quests of Zorlda: Smell of the Forest

I like your style and your approach to keep the scope manageable. What program are you using for your "shield generator"?

Phat

What if enemy gets poison and its Health bar turns green or under the health bar, there will be written poision in short green box like in pokemon games. I WILL be very happy if you add this idea to your game😊😍

Huh, finally something good to play while waiting for Elden Ring...

Some thoughts on the lightening essence: 1) The duration between each shock in the lightening essence has a regular cadence that makes it feel more like a light being switched on and off than something powerful and barely contained. 2) Instead of simply flashing a particle of light for each shock, it would add a lot to the effect if the tendrils of lightening developed outward from the source like growing tree branches. If you can only fix one, I'd fix 1 since that was the first thing that stood out to me as being a little off. Here's a video for reference: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mpuIZcJ4u9y7Yp8.html Hope that help, and good luck on the project!

This is amazing it, perfect game for me. What softwares do you use to accomplish all this? I am leanring ue4 and blender what do you use?

That and I feel that if lucen is running with big sword then bog sword should point down asante kwa kunisikiza , Im Kenyan by the way

rip

This is Zeldaaaagggggggg

is this going to be a openworld survival/combat game with pvp? or a story driven single player game

i was wondering about the way the character is holding the sword, it looks robotic and makes the weapon look like it weight nothing

When I saw houdini I was very surprised. Where do you learn to make the combat system btw?

Hello, sorry for my English, you are doing great, go on, I have a question in which program or which ones did you create your character and animation?

Interaction

I don’t think that when you kill an enemy with the same essence they drop the same essence. There should be different essence for different enemy’s or instead making like a lightning hog or a corrupt hog

Breath of the wild 2! 😳 how?when?!! Oh wait this no it.... Looks solid anyway 👋 I subbed

This is a strange question but will you ever port this game on the ipad? I think it has a great hardware but there is a lack of games we can play, right now im playing genshin impact and i must say it looks breathtaking

where is the devlogs aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Hey man, I'm a 3D modeller and I love this project. Let me know if there's anything I can help you with? :)

Quick question What's the map size of Lucen

Hello! I wanted to ask do u use blueprints(like visual scripting) in unreal or u script it?

how does a game with multiple people on payroll and two sources of outside funding just... stop?

Kris my namesake. Where are you its been 1 year now? You still alive? xD

Will it be free on steam?

Is this still being worked on?

too bad this game died, it was looking good

Is this whole thing running on visual scripting?

Is this completely made with Blueprints?! 🤔

UNITY?
