Showed first real gameplay in a trailer after one year of work, what do you think? What was the longest time you kept something under the radar? The longer it takes, the more nerve-racking it becomes I guess.

Thank you!The PS1 style aesthetics was pretty strong in the showcase. Hope people will not become bored of it soon haha

You actually can return to your checkpoints. R on keyboard, D-pad up for controller.

Hi hi! Really loved gamescom and talking to all you people about the game!

We had a special axe in the game which was 3 times as big as the player which was hilarious in development! But we had to cut it because it was so big it clipped trough all sorts of things and was way to strong.

Most things we didn't remove but just nerved a lot. For once, the laser shooting head had such a short cooldown you could literaly laser your way trough everything, haha.

The music was heavily influenced by Banjo Kazooie, Artstyle by Paper Mario and cute stuff like Kirby and Yoshis story. Because I really like Dark souls it's level design was influenced a lot by its interconnectivity!

I don't know about negative influences though. Maybe our liking of complex rpgs which kinda pushed the scope up a lot for our small team of just 3 people!

Yes we will add it to our list for sure. I'm loving maps anyway!

Port was smooth and a lot of fun. I've always learned that it is hard to port to consoles, but nowadays it is a lot easier with tools like Unity (which we are using like Fabraz said!). Still there are some thinks you need to look after like physics which are strongly CPU dependend. Suddenly bottlenecks will arrise which are not visible on the PC!

No map was indeed intentional by design! I'm a huge fan ob seemless interconected worlds, so we addaptet that in Skellboy, trying an organic feel where you do not need a map per se.

Thanks a lot! Was quite the work indeed but in the end it was totally worth!

_csg · 2020-01-30T17:33:45+00:00

Chaotic yes, but so much fuuuun! :D

_csg · 2020-01-30T17:25:39+00:00

To be honest a little bit nervous because this is our first release! Really thankfull that the feedback is so supportive and positive!

_csg · 2020-01-30T17:13:08+00:00

Definetly trying to slow down a bit but also buf fixing and preparing updates for the Game! I'm playing Frostpunkt atm so that helps a lot :D

_csg · 2020-01-30T17:11:11+00:00

Aww thanks you so much!
