For the record, I don't draw, I had a miserable training in 3D at a school that was practically a scam. I learned pixel art on this project, and I don't consider myself to have 20% of the talent of many artists. But you have to keep the project going.
improve the systems.
Our big fault is that we chose to make a first project that took so long to develop. It's not easy at all, and we've gone through a lot of more or less pleasant stages to get to this point.
placeholder, especially for the character who comes from the Unity Asset Store. Since then, although the gameplay has changed somewhat, the basics remain the same, but the game's visuals have evolved considerably.
I could say the same about the code, which we're still working on today to [...]
I think the trend is pretty cool in the sense that it shows the different stages of a project. Maybe the first GIF isn't so bad, but you can see a real evolution in the second. The first one is simply there to show that we already had the gameplay of the game at the time, with a lot of [...]
To tell the truth, the game has been in development since early 2020 (the start of writing, and we're really bad at it). We're two developers, with no funds (we dev serious games on the side, and barely make a decent salary), and Ill Tower is our first really big project.
This statement has never been more true.
It took us a while, but there was a huge step between these two stages!

Before and after.
A room like this can take between 1 and 3 days to design. From level design to testing. First we test it in the editor, then it's added to the list of rooms in the same environment, and we have to test it again in-game with random gen. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #madewithunity
Added a couple details
Testing new gameplay

just love the atmosphere of our game

Long time no see, but we're still working!😌
We're currently working on the level design of the sewer environment, in order to prepare a new internal demo to be built on SteamDeck for @gamecamp.fr .
Also made a number of small optimizations and modifications to the new traps.

Just a reminder that we're still alive! 🦊Ill Tower is still in active development! We've improved quite a few things on our latest versions of the game, and we're working on the next environment, and some new traps... 😌
Here's our latest teaser, in case you missed it!
#indiedev #gamedev
[WIP] Working on the new character inventory UI! We've yet to define whether to separate items into different categories (for now, we have two, items and stuff), and what stats would be cool to display! #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity
Okay, I added more.

Lots of acid cascades. Too much? Nah..

Another example is the interaction UI, which changes depending on whether you're using a keyboard or a controller. For the last, we chose to display the 4 buttons with the one to be used “highlighted”, rather than displaying Y or △ according to the device.
#indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity
Haven't posted in a while, but development is still going on!
Atm, we're mainly working on small "comfort" aspects of the game, like this animation when the character loses life. It's a whole range of little things that improve the overall look.

Hey #Bluesky community! We've noticed that videos we upload sometimes appear blurry—likely due to compression. Does anyone have tips for the best video format, resolution, or bitrate to keep uploads crisp? We're using .mp4 files, but we're open to suggestions! #GameDev #Indiegame
