Official development blog for the video game ANOMALY CORE. More in-depth development logs can be found on my Neocities site, which will update as progress is made. Main blog is @spacialcube.

On the distant blue world of Oculus, something is stirring.
The pantheon of deities have disappeared, any civilians known to be gifted godly anomalos powers have turned up dead, and all signs lead to shady government involvement. Unease drifts through city streets, bearing whispers of approaching doom and destruction at the hands of some unknown foe. With the fate of the planet, people, and pantheon hanging over the unknown, it's up to some random guys (and a friendly spirit) to get to the root of this mystery.
ORVIS, brilliantly mad R&D innovator and inventor; WATTSON, experimental magiphysicist and laboratory researcher; ENZO, average office guy accidentally granted the powers of an unknown god; HAROS, always-helpful (yet mysterious) godly emissary; FLAMEL, bread-hating toaster robot and brother of Orvis; and ANDREW, badass spy working for an underground anti-government agency.

a little bit of Anomaly Core development progress, featuring Germby! mostly been working on general bugfixing and testing out character armatures/material shading.
Some more gamedev stuff! Been working on finalizing the clothing designs for Enzo and Orvis, as well as basic casual wear for the background characters you'll see while out and about in the world.
main and side characters of Anomaly Core! while this isn't everyone, these are many of the more noteworthy individuals… and germby. germby is there because he's a chaotic sunshine dude and i love him.
CHARACTERS:
first ring, going clockwise starting from Dexter (the blue cursor): Dexter, Bernard, Atamantia, Tellus, Uro, Thanasis, Latch, Vrllqh, Nettle, Squeak, Sine, Norm, Voltson, Germby
second ring, clockwise starting from Haros (the blue beetle fairy): Haros, Enzo, Eye of Rhombus, Gordon, Andrew, Orvis, Flamel, Wattson, and Maxwell right in the middle
small armature animation test with Watts!
was figuring out whether i'd rather continue to model/animate blocky low poly hands, or go the extra mile for more complex detail and expressiveness. went with this, for the sake of clearer movements in dialogue/fights/spellcasting/etc
"Bend the rules, and I shall know. Break them, and YOU shall know."
Rhombus, god of regulation in the Xyzús pantheon. Also a primary antagonist of Anomaly Core!
A little bit of AC gamedev progress for Tumblr! Recently, I've made updates to cutscenes, room transitions, speaker portraits, dialogue, environment coding/detail, effects, and a multitude of small bugfix things. Still have a bunch of things to add, fix up, and polish (e.g., the stand-in lift sprites) but there have been a lot of things happening in a fairly short amount of time.
More to come soon, hope you enjoy!
a few screenshots with some AC game dev progress!
i've mostly been focused on the back-end with coding everything, but recently i redid nearly every texture in the game and updated some 3D models (+ a lot of small tweaks for more polish in gameplay)
Planets of the vast Omnús System! Also included are the representations of space, the binary stars, and the godly dimension of Xyzūs. More information on each celestial body will be available on the Anomaly Core website once it launches.
some more of my music! this track specifically was the background tune for a character creation game, on the Anomaly Core website. i still need to finish coding the minigame logic, but for now you guys can enjoy the music on its own!
