Zan the Bonebreaker

Big Announcement Coming Soon

What could it be, what could it be?

Extra Thicc Edition is officially out!

mp3 OST and the special HUD. If you're a Pit Lord or donated more than 24$, message me if you want a Steam key.

Preparing the Extra Thicc Edition Release!

Hopefully, I will finish working on the release this week and well... release the Thicc Edition next week sometime. Sadly, I don't think it will be up on 14, but still. Keep an eye out for it!

Once this is done, I'll get back to working on the Unity project, as well as another special thing that I haven't announced just yet :^)

Map extensions for next Hedon update

I took several days off from working on the Unity project to actually finish the content for the next Hedon update, which will hopefully also include the release of the Thicc Edition. The first maps of the game have once again received a bunch of improvements and extensions :^)

Here's the Mining Outpost barracks which was normally inaccessible (the door wouldn't do anything), along with an additional cave path which acts both as a secret area as well as an extra connection between the c...

Devlog 3

Ending the first month of development with the 3rd devlog!

I talk about the head bobbing, leaning and mantling mechanics, as well as some concept art of Durna. All feedback is welcome.

Devlog 2

Beaten, but far from defeated.

First Devlog?

We'll probably call it Haggard from now on.

First 3D Animations

Made an idle and movement animations for the Praak. The movement one was done after reference and I think I should remake it via a different method, but I'm waiting for your feedback regardless :^)

3D Praak?

Here's my first 3D character I guess :^)

Pretty happy with how it turned out, but I wanna try working out the texture again. I'll also start working on animating this bad boy

First 3D Assets!

This week I've learned the basics of Blender. Here's the first 3D assets I made for the imsim project, crowned by the majestic Cream Fungus™.

Happy 2022!

In 2021 I have released Bloodrite, improved Hedon all around, pushed the Steam reviews to Overwhelmingly Positive, participated to Realms Deep, got 2nd place on IndieDB by popular vote and all round learned a fuckton of new stuff.

For me, 2022 will be the year of Unity, 3D modelling and animation and hopefully a proper Thief-with-Dwarves vertical slice. Have a good one! See you next year :^)

Hedon Almost GOTY 2021

Now THAT's a milestone! Thanks a ton to everyone who voted, this was a real surprise lol

Merry Thiccmas!

I wish the Thicc edition was ready but sadly I'm still working on publishing the OST. Regardless, I wish you all an excellent time these days :^)

Thicc HUD Top Corners?

Yay or nay?

Which Thicc Edition HUD is Better?

Hedon Locations Fully Documented!

https://hedon.fandom.com/wiki/Map22_-_Buried

I have FINALLY finished documenting the locations on the Wiki. Holy crap, this took forever and I think I'll be taking a good break from working on the Wiki and instead focus on publishing Hedon's OST and Extra Thicc edition, and of course, starting work on my next project!

Thicc HUD WIP2

Note: I wanna have a piece of HUD under Zan's centered mug.

Waiting to hear what you guys think. Is it too much in a good or a bad way? :^) 

All suggestions are welcome!

Extra Thicc HUD WIP

Some work in progress of the HUD I wanna release along the Extra Thicc Edition. 

Going with one of those over the top classic style HUDs, what do you guys think of it so far?

Plans for December Hedon Update

I've been making progress with getting every artist on board with publishing an official Hedon OST, I still won't promise anything but I'm working on it.

If everything works well, I'm planning to release the Hedon "Extra Thicc" edition containing the OST, some artwork and a special in-game cosmetic feature, which will likely involve an oldschool alternative HUD. 

In the meanwhile, here's a WIP of the promo art I'll be using for the Christmas :^)

(just need to finish a ...

New Game Protagonist Concept Sketches

Durna Stonefist, dwarf noblewoman... and thief.

I'm waiting to see what you guys think of her so far, I'm pretty fine with her design myself (fits both my aesthetic and practical goals), but if anyone has anything to object, this is your time to shine.

I'm pretty hellbent on the bangs, and I wanna keep the hairstyle on the shorter side. The bun/bun+braid looks pretty dwarf-like and would also be practical/not get in the way/fit into a thief hood.

If nobody has anything to ad...

Wiki Progress - Secondary Characters

The secondary characters are now documented on the wiki! 

https://hedon.fandom.com/wiki/Hedon_Wiki#Characters

Learn all about them right there^

Let's discuss my next project!

Although I still have a ton of work to do on Hedon's wiki, I figured I'd use the time to start some discussion regarding my potential next project. 

Here's my approach strategy for this, red arrows indicate fall back points in case anything fails.

You will find the two Discord channels for discussion up now, but if you don't use Discord, I can give you the basic information and ideas I have so far. If you have any other questions, drop them in the comments.
