Barracks Courtyard 2

Barracks Courtyard

Been extremely busy lately, and I had little time to select some screenshots to put up here, but basically, I'm working hard on the third map. I'd say the layout is about 25% finished.

I'll try to post more updates, but at the same time I kinda want to keep the potential spoilers to a minimum. Enjoy!

Map03 Sketch

I'm alive. Here's a shit quality preview of the sketch for the next level I'm working on. It will be far more geometrical than the previous organic-cave levels, that's for sure.

I'm trying to figure out how to make the level more interesting in terms of gameplay... I was suggested to go for some more vertical developed areas and a visual change (palette materials etc.) but I feel like I could do a bit more than just that...

Is it too early for this meme?

probably

Hedon's Manual

I've been catching up with Hedon's manual/guide book since it's going to be useful to explain a lot of things like weapons, items and monster resistances as well as setting up the game properly in the first place. Haven't posted a lot lately, I'm caught up with some work but I'm hoping to resume  working on the new map next week.

Crushbow Carnage

Yep, this little baby is fully finished. And it's awesome.

New Weapon - The Crushbow!

Say hello to Zan's new little friend. A mini ballista shooting high explosive bolts!

It was quite a challenge to draw and animate, but I managed to pull it through, and it looks pretty damn neat imo

Working on Map03!

The 0.2.a. testing has gone nice and well, got a load of helpful feedback and went to adjust the maps and improve them even further!

But now it's time to ease in the next level, which will be the Barracks - a shorter and more action-packed map than the previous ones. Things are starting to get Doom-y.

AAA WTF IS GOING ON?

13 out of 30454!!! Holy crap!

I love you guys, we /frontpage/ now.

HOLY FUCK

wtf look at how popular Hedon became after the demo release :O

0.2.a RELEASED!!!

Download: http://www.moddb.com/mods/hedon/downloads/hedon-02a-testing-demo

Finally! After finishing the pre pre pre testing, I've released the 0.2.a demo of Hedon. Enjoy, and thanks a lot for all the support so far, you're making this a lot easier!

Do tell me what you think about it, every bit of feedback is greatly appreciated.

New Tracks!

Go check over Youtube, I've uploaded 3 new tracks from Hedon's OST.

Compozed by Ahkzul.

And yes, release of 0.2.a is getting near, doing the final testing and adjustments right now.

Animation Speedpaint

Still waiting for the soundtrack before I can make the new release. Let's have a look at how I made the animation sprites for the Initiate in the meanwhile ;p

Hedon's First Trailer

Woo, it's been almost an year of Hedon development already! I figured I'd make a first teaser for it while waiting for the soundtrack to be complete and release the second level for testing.

Enjoy and thanks a lot for all the support so far! More to come!

Map02 is finally complete!

Phew. After months of work, here it is. The Plaza.

I have to start testing it with start-to-end playthroughs which will take a while, and I'm also waiting on one of the soundtracks to be complete (should be soon). Will come back with some screenshots, and hopefully release it for testing in few days.

Status Update

Hey, guys, got some bad news and some good news.

Good news is that I've been faster than expected and am getting close to finishing the level and releasing. The new monster only needs a death and extreme death animation, but the rest (movement, attack, pain animations, coding, attacks/his spell, balancing etc.) was done a lot faster than I was hoping for.

Bad news is that I have to leave until 9th of September, and am unlikely to work on Hedon until then.

So yeah, I gues...

Initiate Sprite Speedpaint

A new speedpaint vid! This time with the upcoming enemy character - the Initiate. Might make a vid where I also show a bit how I animate. Anyway, a ton of work to do, but once I finish this guy, I'll be very close to finishing the level and release it.
