those grass looks so soft that i want to be a cow to eat it.

Oh god, the camera movement while he runs is beautiful... Can't wait for the release man!

This is the kind of project that makes me want to forget about it so I can come back in a year and watch 50 videos in a row instead of being tortured every couple months when the new log is over

Love the Lucen character upgrade!

Me is excited

"Lucen 2.0" -Kris 2020 "Lucen 6.9" -Kris 2021 Lovin the updates man! Can't wait for the release!!!

Really happy for you man. My game launch didn't go so well but I'm trudging forward and determined to finish the game. Glad to see your hard work paying off.

111k upvotes HOLY!! that's actually NUTS. Huge congrats on the success, you deserve it

The way you break everything down really makes me appreciate how difficult game dev is. I love the style and it looks like combat has pretty good feedback. Wishlist from me!

This game looks gorgeous, holy shit. Also the use of "elder god" and things like that make me extremely interested in the lore.

You're a juggernaut of a generalist! Excited to see Lucen's evolution~

Great video man! Your progress is inspiring! I love the work you did on the grass, very impressive, and thanks for supplying a tutorial, will be watching on the weekend! Anyways, stay awesome and thanks for sharing your progess!

I'm proud of you bro!! Almost there, keep it up and you will make it!

As long as the game does not use a dedicated lockon key, you got a consumer right here. Looks exellent

Nice to hear your success mate been watching for a while and it is cool to see you get the attention you deserve

You got my like for the game dev tips and ideas. And for a solo project, what you have already is impressive. Keep the passion going, I'd like to see where this leads.

Looks fantastic, really inspiring. It's amazing to see how much work has gone into this and how much knowledge it takes to create something like this. Outstanding stuff.

Kris, thank you for being so honest about your workflow. You really seem to use the best tool for each job!

oh wow, this looks gorgeous! beautiful shaders and lighting

Its come along so far since your first devblog... im so excited to what you add next

This looks incredible! Looking forward to seeing more devlogs!

I just stumbled on to this video. The art looks amazing, excellent use of simple geometry and textures. So many games fail at this but you did it right.

I love how huge the trees are.

I would've never thought that there would be so many graphical details that went in to this game. You know so much! Besides Lucen, how long have you been developing games?

So much passion!! Thank you for sharing, I'm following you since beginning

the thought of a game getting the feel of having old gods still walking around right is very exiting and the bow aim reminds me of Shadow of the Colossus. I'm looking forward to watching this project moving forward, best of luck man

Thanks for sharing! It looks great

thanks for sharing the process!

OK, I'm sold. Added to wishlist and subbed! Nice work!

Once again, this is amazing! I love your dedication and how well you know what you are doing! Great job, I hope Lucen will be released successfully soon.

Fantastic video! Thank you a lot for showing tools and techniques behind the scene! Jack of all trades you are

This game looks absolutely beautiful😱 well done. Can't wait to see it on kickstarter and where it's going to go in the future.

Wow, looks amazing!!! Wishlisted immediately!

I wishlisted it. I love the look of your game and the mechanics look really run

You deserve this, very good work!

Great video man the new character model looks great in the world! Keep up the good work!

As someone who loves Breath of the wild, this game looks really good. Are there going to be lots of boss fights? Dungeons to explore? Creatures to find? Puzzles to do? That giant creature at the end looks like a fully realized element of this project, play with scale as much as you can, blow the player's mind away. I really hope this game goes well :)

Love it! Great work man!

I want to see moreeee! Great job! 10/10

Im so exited

Starting to look really good :)

The look of this game is magical!

looks great cant wait to play

Good work man. You are a big motivation to me.

Hey so I know you probably won't see this but I had an idea for the vines that grow around the ancient pillars, In your DevLog 3 You made a growing vine animation which looked spectacular but I thought to make the player feel like there is some kind of unknown ancient power going on, I thought the vines could appear on the pillars and grow as the player ran past them. Even if the vines just reacted or expanded would seem cool, it would add that small detail and it could be like you are revealing a long-forgotten power.

I would love to see some secondary animations (physics) to Lucens gear and clothes, that 10% of complexity adds like 50% to the overall feel of playing. Lookup "Animation Bootcamp: An Indie Approach to Procedural Animation" GDC Wolfire Games.

how are those kind of games not more promoted ! this is what I (and many others) like the most

Looks great! Well Done :)

Great to see an update on the game its looking amazing!

I just want to play this game just because it so beautiful ... The lighting and grass is wow !!!

I didn't expect to watch the whole thing, it's really fascinating! I would just recommend you discuss the look of your main character with a character designer, maybe you can throw in a few more elements to give it more character and personality.

looks great can't wait to buy it and of course play it.

Holy cow! You do this by yourself? I thought I was being unrealistic in attempting something like this by myself. Guess I'm going to be spending quite a lot of time making a game from now on.

Really solid dev log, Kris 🤘

Well done!

the new design of the main character is awesome

Cant wait for this game.... This looks fantastic

Thanks for your beautiful game!!! stay safe

Loving the grass and dissolve effect! Lucen 2.0 looks awesome too! I've never heard of Marvelous, and it looks really useful. Honestly I not only find the game super impressive but how many different softwares you know :D Also, I'd love to hear more about your VFX history! I love watching the Corridor youtube channel, and I'd love to hear what you have to say about the industry, workflow, projects you've done, etc.

Games with such a beautiful art style like this are always an appeal to me. Looking forward for the release^^

Wishlisted.. and wow the new character design and general traversal animations look so much better already

'I haven't done much UV unwrapping in a long time, and I was surprised at how far it's come' *Laughs in Blender*

nice one kris , i would like to get a grass tutorial tbh ,♥ thanks for sharing

Lucen 2.0 looks good! Feels right!

I'm. Hyped.

I don't know you, but I'm proud of you! Doing almost everything yourself is incredible. Definitely buying

This game looks absolutely incredible! I can't wait to play it 😁

omg this looks amazing

It looks even more rich and detailed than the last time I saw it. Can't wait to see the final product and be able to play on the switch.

this looks beautiful... keep it up! i know spiders are place holder right now but maybe consider adding some hair to them? your particle systems look amazing on everything!

If you make this a more open-spaced light hearted souls like with an old gods twist I will literally shit in my pants.

Remarkable. Very inspirational as I work on my own project, Tempered Flames.

Its gorgeous man i love t i'll buy it i was there when you started i'll be there till the end.

A suggestion please the world is vast an beautiful but I think it is a bit empty please add something everywhere so that player will be surprised and rewarded for exploring that can keep players engaged for hours in exploring btw the game is superrrr GooD definitely gonna buy it😊

That grass looks sooooo good

your game looks really cool!

While I know you said you're getting an animator, my one piece of advice would be for the charge attack - the charge looks cool but the release animation could be even cooler if you slowed it down and added emphasis to it. Charging just to do a fast attack right after subtracts from the effect of the charge even if it does more damage. This game is gonna be great

great vlog!! the model's neck feels a bit stiff in the animations, but honestly it looks great! the soft grass and shading gives me hella botw vibes

looks so slick

Where the hell are these beautiful games on my steam? Wonderful job, bro. Congratz

Thanks, this is the only motivation I needed to continue with my project, (it wasn't abandoned, I just lost faith)

You should definitely give an in depth demo on the grass! Smooth, seamless foliage like that is hard to pull off, would love to see a breakdown of the shader graph

beautiful game, nice job.

Very cool

What a legend!

This... is.... deep. Bellisimo... Whishlisted and Followed via Steam.

Game looks fantastic. Cant wait till the demo. Suggestion: customize the health bars a bit. Keep up the great work!!!

Great stuff! Actually you can avoid the issue with exporting control objects by setting 'Export Invisible Objects' in the FBX export rop/dialogue to 'Don't Export' and then just hide them before exporting. All you have to do is write a simple python script that will hide all of the control objects and run this from the render rop or set it up on the digital asset (like a render button for example that first hides them, then triggers the fbx render node, then shows them again). You can use an operator list in side of the digital asset parameters so that you can easily add any new control objects you add to the rig and reference this in the python script.

Wow this game is beautiful

Holy crap this looks good

bro this is the best :D

I sold my PC some time ago and i don't plan on buying another one or even playing games anymore. However your project looks beautiful and i feel like i'd love to play that game if i had the means to. That's why i whishlisted it on steam even if i probably won't buy it when it's out, that's not much but that's pretty much all the support i'm able to give you right now ;) Keep the good work going, i trust you will give birth to a wonderful game and if by chance i happen to be able to buy and play it by the time it's out, i'll definitely do so ;)

Has a very Rime like aesthetic. Looks good

I've got an idea for an enemy! A big freaking bird that tries to swoop and eat ya, and when it dies, it ragdolls, falls out of the sky, and disintegrates on contact with the ground.

tbh i kinda like the old model of lucen, it gave it more a mysterious story-ish vibe, it also gave the character a more simple normal villager look.

Oh god marvelous designer made me artgasm. Um... thank you for showing me such a thing exists.

Coool new stuff ;) :O

we done m friend you did a great job,i feel inspired to make m own game ,, am a starter how long have u been dev games ,, May God reward ur efforts with success

Looks refreshing...

so much devlogs but this game actually looks like a game u will buy even if you dont know any of the process of who made it , not like dani's games they could be fun but they buy it because he made them , this game actually looks like art
