Warriors!
It's great to be back and we are truly grateful for the warm reception of our previous devlog, which focused on the gore aspect of the game (by the way, if you haven't checked it out yet - here it is).
Today, we would like to share some new exciting updates that we have been working on lately. Consider this as the first of many dev diaries to come in the future. We want you to know what is happening with the game, so you’ll be one of the first to hear about the latest milestones!
Lighting
Let’s start with something important!
We have been experimenting with different lighting techniques to enhance the overall atmosphere of Shadow of the Road. We strive for global illumination to be believable and applicable to both characters and environments.
We believe that the right lighting can help players truly immerse in the game's world and amplify the sense of danger lurking around every corner.
It's the work of the tiniest details, but worth every drop of sweat!
Verticality
Next, we want to give you a glimpse of something exciting. For example, take a look at one of the stages. What makes this encounter particularly interesting is… The abundance of ladders, adding a unique multi-level dimension to the fight!
Yes, fight! We must let you know that this is where you’ll find dangerous enemies, so you better watch out and get ready. Samurai must be strong, but also wise - remember to use the environment around you! Get ready for intense vertical combat!
New skills
Another interesting thing we want to introduce you to is a new skill called "Glacial Fangs". We won't reveal all the details just yet, but we can show you how spectacular this attack is in motion.
Stay tuned for more updates, and believe us - you’ll be able to use many more thrilling skills in the game. Enemies will be terrified!
Something extra…
As a little surprise and a token of our gratitude for being with us, we would like to show you something exciting and truly satisfying. You see, during the development of Shadow of the Road, we've been having an absolute blast, and the fruits of our labor have seamlessly merged into captivating elements that breathe life into the very fabric of the game.
BRIDGE VIDEO
For example - let's take a moment to admire the way this bridge is generated. Trust us when we say, we can't help but feel an overwhelming sense of pride due to how incredible it looks!
Till next time!
Before we wrap up, we want to invite all of you to follow us on our social media platforms - Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram to stay up-to-date with the latest news and announcements.
Above all, we highly encourage you to join our Discord server, where everything happens first! Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm.
Warm regards
