So it’s official: my first commercial indie title, Citizen Pain, has launched and is now available on Steam!

and I’ve added some missing SFX, like explosion sounds. The goal is to further immerse the player during exploration.
Additionally, I’ve updated the enemy hit animations and added voice overs for when you interact with NPCs (yes, there are NPCs to rescue in this game).

These past weeks haven’t seen much progress on the gameplay side, but I focused on the ambient audio.
Each room features distinct sounds, such as wind or running water,

I’m also implementing several improvements based on player feedback from my previous title, Citizen Pain. These include a difficulty selector and the removal of super armor for enemies, at least on the lower difficulty settings.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been working on refining the frame data of attacks across the different weapons. The goal was to make their startup overall faster, and also switching weapons now feels much more responsive.

Sono convinto che le meta run possano funzionare bene anche nel mio gioco, ne faremo un'altra la prossima volta. Inoltre ho testato la nuova patch direttamente in live, ma purtroppo qualcosa non ha funzionato come previsto.

come al solito, delle decisioni di design del gioco, del game design in generale e di quello che vorrei fare nel prossimo progetto.

Even just modifying the layouts of the existing levels is a lot of work. Because of that, in some levels I might add checkpoints instead of Souls-like shortcuts.
1/2
I’m working on the layouts for the next levels, starting from my previous game Citizen Pain. But this time I’m adding shortcuts and new rooms with items to collect, to encourage exploration.

I want the second part of the dungeon to feel like an outdoor area, so I still need to add elements like trees, rocks, and a proper vista.
To make the room layouts as varied as possible, I decided to dedicate less time to the visual polish of each individual room.
1/2
I'm continuing the construction of the dungeon. All the rooms are now complete, including the secondary rooms for hazards and rewards. The remaining work is mostly on the artistic side.

3/3
The plan is to include three different weapons in the game. I’m still deciding whether to add distinct player abilities, or instead design enemies so that each one is weak to a specific weapon type.

Making the level non-linear is proving to be more challenging : the dungeon has significantly more rooms compared to a typical Citizen Pain level, and I recently adjusted the pacing of the combat sections. That forced me to rethink and rearrange the sequence of some rooms.
1/3
These days I’ve been focusing on the dungeon.
I designed the full map with multiple branching paths because I wanted this project to be non-linear, unlike my previous game Citizen Pain.

Anche se non ero in perfetta forma, ho comunque cercato di spiegare perché ho apprezzato ogni meccanica incontrata nel gioco, dal punto di vista di un game designer.

Dai creatori del fantastico Shovel Knight, non mi sarei mai aspettato una masterclass di game design di questo livello! Una gameplay density così elevata non l’avevo mai vista prima in un “modern retro game”.

I’ll need to revisit the animations again in the future, since some of them still need polishing and I may add new ones as development progresses.

I’m currently working on one of the first basic enemies in my new game: the Zombie Warrior.
I’ve implemented some animations for him, including attack and hit reactions.

Non sono riuscito a completare l’ultimo livello con un solo gettone, ma almeno abbiamo affrontato Garibaldi e visto il finale del gioco!

I’m working on the new enemy. I’ll be posting a video soon. For now, everything is still a work in progress!

Grafica che sembra un anime, comparto audio sublime e una storia che sembra più complessa e profonda rispetto ai capitoli precedenti. Il tutto, unito all’iconica meccanica sasso/carta/forbici della serie, rende questa demo un vero must-play. Lo giochiamo in diretta su Twitch

Continuiamo a giocare a Knights of the Round! Sempre con Lancelot affrontiamo lo Stage 6 e iniziamo il 7. Il boss mi ha impegnato non poco!

In Citizen Pain, you can parry anything and unleash a kick takedown that launches enemies into the air.
A brutal, hardcore arcade challenge inspired by the ’90s, designed to keep you on the edge of your seat every single retry.

Ho giocato la demo di Nioh 3 sul canale Twitch. Il boss mi ha FRANTUMATO! E' dal game director di Rise of the Ronin, e si sente (in positivo!). Stile artistico e musiche pazzesche con il solito combat system di altissimo livello del Team Ninja.

I might be able to create an exclusive trailer for the showcase of my upcoming game.

The takedown is directly taken from Citizen Pain. This project inherits a lot from my previous game, but with a stronger focus on exploration.

This week I worked on implementing the dagger weapon moveset. Movement animations, attacks, and parries are now in place and fully functional.

I played Yakuza Kiwami 3 demo. Despite the criticism, I still appreciated the change in artistic style, and the multi-style combat system of the newer Yakuza games is always enjoyable.
You can find my demo playthrough live in Italian.
