Jotun - Game Dev.

My name is Fernando Gielow, I'm the programmer of Anest Studio and here I intend to record the development of our project currently named Jotun, which targets Win, OSX and Linux. This is our first big project, and it consists of an open world like 2d plataformer. No further details, for now. Tools currently being used consist of Unity3d (frameworks 2Dtoolkit for 2d sprites and atlases and Rotorz for tile systems).

It's been quite a long time.. Gotta try to bring some new posts soon :)

Anyways, here is our entry for the Global Game Jam, around the theme 'we don't see things as they are, we see things as we are'. Feel free to drop a comment regarding the game! \o/

So, PlayMaker was on wale some days ago (for only $18, wtf), so I started playing with it a little. Here is the beginning of a new spaghetti machine! :)

In the end I am computing all transactions by still by code and using FSM just to visualize the states transactions... Currently not that useful, buuuut.

So in the previous 48 we decided to participate in the 27th Ludum Dare and developed a game! It turned out pretty cool, actually. You can Play it Here!

Bird Without Wings' encounter! Some things need to be improved (and several "crows" added :P), but..

In-Game Overlay Menu

Hello! This is a quick post to show the current state of our in-game overlay menu. The options are not implemented there already, but we are working on its core appearance for now, damn those shaders. I still have to program a glow/bloom effect on the "white" lines, but... This is it for today! Please leave your opinion :)

Jotun - A Glimpse on the Gameplay

Here is a really small stage to show the current state of Jotun! :) Note that you must have Unity3D plugin installed to see it, just install it if it asks to, it is really lightweight. Unfortunately, though, that plugin only works for Windows and OSX, no Linux..

These are the current controls: A (goes left), D (goes right), S (crouches), W (looks up), Left-Shift (sprints), K (jumps), J (attacks), L (blocks).

We are aware that there are many minor things to be improved, but please give us your opinion and honest suggestions on how to improve our current state! :) Finally, there is a not so hidden "secret" room, there :D

If you liked it, feel free to share!

Open the post to play the demo, it is hidden in the site's root.

A minor glimpse on the current state of Jotun!  A playable and very limited "demo" may come up next week for you to test its current state! :)

[jotun-dev]

Textured "illumination" system for the Line of Sight fog! :) A more detailed post will come in some days, showing several states until the current one. I am pretty satisfied with it, but it can still improve a little further.
