Hello everyone, I been looking at all the wonderful games here and decided it was finally my turn. Well, this is a personal game of mine. Very early stage, after working on my GDD for a while it was finally time to get to the good part. I’m foremost an Artist first, so getting the look was essential. I’m using Unreal as my game engine. There is so many things I have plan using this style but for the most part put constraints on myself so I don’t go overboard with features. Since I’m doing this solo I had to think of efficient ways of doing every part of making a game, reason for using Unreal. For the details of the game, I would really like to put visuals instead of long lengthy words. So, once I have them I will show and tell. For now, here are some shots of a summon and what he looks like in the game. There is much more to come, so you’ll definitely see the behind the scenes of making my game. What gets in and what’s thrown out. These shots are in-game screenshots with a little added white border, nothing else was tampered with. I also added WIP model pics. Also added a vid working inside the engine. Thanks for looking!

Thanks Continuous_Dreamer, This guy is actually a summon. This game is heavily inspired by Final Fantasy 7 and Yu-gi-oh (except its an ARPG not turned based). I hope to show more in the future.

Welcome. I'm loving the cel-shaded art style. Can't wait to see your game mechanics and learn more information about your project, in general. Keep in mind, what makes your game more/slightly unique compared to your competitors? Even if you're remixing a game, you need to add additional new features to differentiate your game from others. Good luck!

Thank you very much RizeoftheSummonds for the comment and advice. For the most part, I wanted to create this for myself. I will take into consideration what you have said though. As of right now it is quite different from games and shows that inspired me to make this game. Hopefully, it will stand on its own in the end.

I finally have something to show. Worked on materials, style, and finally settled on the main character. Kept going back and forth but in the end I settled with what works as a whole. I know its simple but what I have plan it'll work once everything else is implemented. I did get the basic movements down and a major feature of changing masks with different abilities. How does it look so far? In-game shots of main character:

Added structural Features to easily manipulate them later, its so satisfying to see what you imagine work the way you wanted, everything is just tests I'll be changing it later but I have the structure there :
- Put a Shadow under the character when he jumps - Did custom gravity so the character fall faster and not floating down. -Automatic Leveling and Rank System -Hexacard implementation (think of this as MP like in RPGs) -Soul Energy (like HP) -Have numbers show above the character -Damage and FX where your character is at -Item Spawning and moving
The assets and FX are temporary, this is just to test the new features.

I don’t have much to say but I really like your artstyle and the game sounds interesting so keep up the good work~
What kind of music do you plan on adding though? Something atmospheric maybe? =o

Thanks Helia! I actually met a great composer Mark Choi. Since I put my WIP of my game I got a lot of composers wanting to do the music for my game. Since my game was so early in development I was not really looking for anyone. But, Mark did not just ask to be a part of the game he actual created a playlist for just my game. The playlist was spot on, it was just the type of music I imagined for the game. It was just a WIP progress video but he immediately got it right the first time. What's even better is he and I like the same types of games, so we can easily collaborate. Can't wait to feature what he wrote for the game. Here is some of his works: https://soundcloud.com/choiby

That’s great to hear! Being immediately on the same wavelength as a collaborator seems almost magical when it happens . Anyway, I'm sure that it's going to be the perfect fit for your game and I wish you the best~

Here is an update on the project. Implemented a lot of the main features for the character. The design might change but the code will not. Background and FX are just place holders for now. I wanted to have the foundation and have it working first before I finalize any content. I put up a lot of WIP vids on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_D0GYdeaxeMQeAhnjVP0LAbut here is the latest.

So, this is the start of the Battle Mechanics of the game. Tweaking is a never ending task and I do it daily.
I've done prototypes and tests on different mechanics and this is what I ended up liking: Their will be many and ongoing work-in-progress battle mechanics.
The enemy is just a dummy that follows the Player Also this is just a level for testing purposes.

Just found this from your signature in someone else's devlog. This is looking beautiful, I especially like the effects for changing your blade card.

My day job took some time from my game but back at it and it actually gave me the time to finalize the game concepts. The game will revolve around Cards and creating them. One of the main ingredient to making a card are the Phantasms. Here is a result of one of the Battler Cards you can make. A spell so powerful it can take corporal form. Battler Card except for Bladecards are your main Attackers. Name: Brimfire Brimfire in action!

I've been working with Spell Circles and got inspired by kaleidoscopes. Really liking the result thus far. Here are couple of experiments.
