View game pageOver the last handful of months I've been hard at work creating a brand new game this time in 3D!
Mount Ymir
You must save Midgard
As I am Icelandic I have a deep interest in Norse mythology and so I decided to create a short horror game about stopping the end of the world aka ragnarök. you are tasked with doing this by the world serpent which is depicted above by reviving the dead aser god Baldur.
According to völu spá from the prose edda
The twilight of the gods will begin when Loki tricks an aser into murdering the golden child of Odin Baldur. You will take control of a Human witch in Midgard who maybe not so surprisingly wishes to continue on living. on your journey you will encounter other figures within the stories of Norse mythology and some of them may not be so kind.

Now that I'm releasing my second game I have had an opportunity to reflect on what development means for me and what I strive to achieve in the future. The first thing I find prudent to mention as many of my peers slap their bellies out of joy as they suck down straight lead from their disposable landfill stuffing vapes when the mere mention of gen AI comes up. As you can probably tell I do not like AI bros, I don't. I really don't. When I made Complex 629 I did not use gen AI in any capacity for any of the development and the same goes for Mount Ymir. I intend to continue not using gen AI for anything and I want to assure anyone who might be interested in me or my studio that I will stay AI free for life!
I will always be on a learning journey in live and especially in development and even tough I love Complex 629 there are many things I've learned since Its release. the first and probably most obvious is development in 3D. My tools of choice have become Blender for modelling, substance painter for texturing and Godot for development. As it stands I foresee these being my main workhorses from now until I find some other art medium I wish to implement into game dev and if any of you have any suggestions or anecdotes about other programs or mediums id be happy to read about them in the comments.
Lastly I want to thank everyone who has show interest in Complex 629 and a special thanks to those of you who bought the game you are the best! When I first got the idea of developing a game I never dreamed that so many of you would like what I could put together. I hope you like what I'm working on here as well!
