Embracing a New Horizon: Welcome to Our Devlog!
Hello fellow gamers and game enthusiasts,
I am thrilled to welcome you to my new digital home – my official development blog! For a while, my updates and progress have been exclusively shared within the confines of Discord. However, as my projects evolve and the community grows, I felt it was time to create a dedicated space where I can share my journey, insights, and, of course, exciting news about my games and hear great feedback, suggestions, and insights from you!
Introducing "Keep Climbing!" – Where Teamwork Takes Flight:
My first passion project, "Keep Climbing!", is a 2D puzzle platformer that brings together the thrill of precise jumping and the strategy of cooperative gameplay. In this adventure, you'll guide a courageous brother and sister duo who find themselves trapped in a mysterious cave. Together, they must utilize their unique skills – one jumping between platforms and the other piloting a hot air balloon equipped with a cannon – to overcome obstacles, solve puzzles, and make their daring escape.
I've poured my creativity and enthusiasm into this game, aiming to create a challenging yet delightful experience that emphasizes teamwork and coordination. Initially created for android and then transferred to a Web release, the game is far from perfect. I'm not sure yet if I will continue working on it in the future and get it out to Android users or not, but it was still a fun game to create and play! My wife is very new to video games, and I created this game with her in mind. The first few levels are very basic and give the player an opportunity to learn the controls and even how to play games in general. The later levels increase in difficulty quite a bit and provide a fun, fast-paced challenge for anyone who wants to give it a try!
A Glimpse into "Den" – Where Adventure Awaits:
On another exciting note, I'm nearing the completion of another project, "Den." Initially created for a month-long Game Jam, this 3D open-world game has been a labor of love, and I'm in the final stages of polishing every detail to ensure a truly immersive experience. In "Den," players will find themselves in a captivating world filled with wonders and opportunities for discovery. Playing as a wolf searching for her lost cubs on an alien world, players will get to know the settlers of this strange planet and discover some of the secrets it holds. As I meticulously refine the game, I eagerly await any feedback players have!
Why the Devlog?
So, why start a devlog now? I believe in the power of community and the value of your feedback. By sharing my progress, struggles, and triumphs here, I hope to involve you more intimately in my creative process. Your insights and support have already made my games better, and I'm excited to continue this journey with you by my side.
I'm definitely still in the beginning stages of my GameDev career, but am looking forward to growing as a developer and creator of amazing experiences. As I move forward, expect regular updates, behind-the-scenes peeks, and maybe even some exclusive sneak peeks at what I'm cooking up next. I want this space to be as interactive as possible, so please don't hesitate to drop a comment, suggestion, or a simple hello. Your enthusiasm fuels my creativity, and I can't wait to see where this adventure takes us together.
Thank you for joining me on this exciting new chapter. Strap in and get ready for a thrilling ride – we're just getting started!
Warm regards,
