Dev update!

Hey everyone! It has been a while since the last update, I have been working very hard on the game!

Here are some updates:

New Content:

Tutorial islands

Onboarding is done! The Tutorial islands have been playtested a lot and I am happy with its state.

Demo

The demo content is here! It still need more polishing and playtesting. It is a vertical slice of LOYA; You fight giants, build your base, go on foot against goblins and unleash the sealed giant!

Here is a screenshot of the "Plains of Eden":

Giants

New bosses have been added:

Other Act 1 zones:

These will not be part of the demo

Sentinel Islands:

Crystal Islands (wip):

Mechanics:

  • Base vs Giants combats have been tested and refined. I have added a dash for the base, making the combats much more fast paced and challenging.

  • Reworked the melee combat system (character). I took inspiration from games like Zelda Botw and added a stagger system, added on hit and knockout animations. Overall melee combat should feel much better.

  • Flying and Islands as a core concept: The world is now gated by flying. Defeating the bosses will unlock more propellers and allow you to fly higher!

Once I have finished playtesting the Demo, the game will have to go though a heavy polishing phase where I make sure the Demo is in a good state to be shown to the public and nothing is missing. I will then make a new trailer and announce the demo everywhere!

My goal is to release the Demo is this year. For now things are going as planned.

I will do my best to keep you guys updated more often. Thank you for following the game!
