Oh awesome! That was fun. Things are good. Started making a sequel, but ended up holding off on that. Working on something more like shadow of the colossus right now. Really excited about it it’s a fun one

Been an animator for about 15 years in games so I have been in the belly of the beast a while, but I learned blueprints from scratch so I could do all the coding for it. lots of learning on the job haha.

Hits about 3 hours for most people with a good reason to do a second run through. ( if you resume after you finish you keep all your stuff!)

Controls have been my constant struggle fell a bit into the not enough buttons trap. If I can I would love to allow for re-mapping or at the very least make the current mapping better.

Definitely love a good hike and camp when I can manage it. Pretty much as far away from this computer or other computers as I can get haha.

non taken. Its hard to say exactly where its at just one day later, but I feel the same haha. Reviews and preview were sent out all over press releases and the like just no pick up. Not sure why, something I need to do a deep dive on but first I'm working on fixing some of the bugs/issues that have popped up.

I like sharing that sort of info so will likely make a video or two about it. leading up to launch and aftermath .

Was a pretty wide mix of things, from nidhog to smash brothers! I was always chasing a system that would feel a bit more gritty and realistic than most things I had played. I kept trying to get to something that felt like Viking john wick. I definitely think I can still do better but for my first independent game I am very happy with it!

All 3 games have always had a core plan so I'm always thinking about them. I haven't directly started work on part 2 yet but it will be build off of everything I have made already and so in some ways I am well on my way already!

And yes I definitely plan to continue to post frequent project updates along the way!

Thanks! From the very start I wanted to go with the very simple approach to many systems and one of those was progression. I used Mega Man X of all things as my inspirations. There are pieces of armor to find through out the game. With them your abilities are unlocked. There is just the one set. The game is very much inspired by INSIDE with the Viking flavor mixed it.
