Lacuna is set to release 2021!
In the meantime, are some tech-savvy players around?
Or are some of you even game developers of your own?
If this is the case, please find some great (dev-)blog posts written by Julian and Jasmin from DigiTales Interactive, the developers and masterminds behind Lacuna.
So let’s get started:
Moving on Stairs in a 2D Side Scroller
‚Movement on stairs has been the bane of my existence for a long time.
I first added it to our old prototype in late 2017 and the code stayed more or less the same up until recently. It was barely good enough for our prototype, and it was never meant to stick around until release.‘ -Julian, DigiTales

Challenges in Game Writing
‚In this blog article, I will outline some of the most important challenges and difficulties we have encountered so far when writing the story for our upcoming narrative game. I will get into some of the solutions we found in my upcoming posts, but I hope that today’s article will be helpful as well – it might point you to some aspects you could take a closer look at if you have the impression that your game’s story isn’t as exciting as it should be.‘ -Jasmin, DigiTales

Fun-Corner: C‘thulu Fans around?
Good news for our fans from the nightmare corpse-city of R'lyeh!
Lacuna will be available in R’lyehian (Simplified & Traditional) as the Dark Lord himself seems to have taken control over our font atlas.
Well, there is also a high chance that this is a bug. However, worth a look!
