Well, this journey is coming to an end. This final devlog is about the remaining floors of the new tower map, about the completion of the game as such and about the feeling of having finished an indie game project completely. I'm a little sad, but at the same time it feels incredibly good to finally be done! I've been working on Cloud Escape for over a year now and it's time to start a new chap…
This was possibly the most time-consuming game mechanic I've ever developed. Today's devlog is all about the different types of turrets that Cloud Escape has to offer in its upcoming Tower Mode. The game development work of “The Tower”, the new game mode (and map) of my indie game Cloud Escape, is coming to an end. The turrets, but especially their projectiles, were a very interesting challenge…
Little explosive boxes, enemies with hidden mechanics and more! This devlog is filled with enemy content and all relevant tech stuff behind it. So be prepared for this very special devlog! The old map didn't allow for the concept of enemies due to its design. With Tower Mode, entirely new areas have emerged that allow the placement of enemies. In today's devlog, I talk about all the enemies tha…
This is not Rainbow Road. But compared to before, the tower is now very colorful and vibrant!

We also talk about configuring the toon shader, new animations and also new mechanics! Have fun with this…

I also show the first enemy and dive into the world of Geometry Nodes, Blender's strong node-based procedural workflow. Since the release of the third patch, my work on Cloud Escape is mainly focused on the ne…
The show must go on! CLOUD ESCAPE was released on Steam two months ago, but I'm still working on the game every day. In this devlog I talk about the updates I've released so far. There's also a little preview of the new game mode and map! I received a lot of constructive feedback after the launch of CLOUD ESCAPE and collected and prioritized it. In the last three updates I have tried to make th…

Ahoy there, today is the day! It started as a game jam project and now it's here: CLOUD ESCAPE is now available on Steam! There is a launch discount of 15% until December 19th. Originally, the game was meant to be a game jam project, created in 72 hours. I liked the idea and the gameplay and had a lot of fun developing it, so it became a full-fledged game! CLOUD ESCAPE is a niche game. It was n…
