Merry august everyone!

While slowly melting here in south of Europe we work on #PSYCHOTA as hard as ever. Soon we will be dropping some really cool stuff, stay tuned

Whole ideation funneled down to a final design - rough font Psychota sketches, Roro character iterations, color play in the result was combined into Psychota Key Art you can see here and surely in the future.

🌟Meet Roro - Main Character and our Key Art🌟

Paula started with the sword and the face close up sketch as a first reference for final Key Art

However, colour was not the only thing Paula played with, she also sketched another close up as a rough idea

After a bunch of technical insights from Dima , we want to show a bit of our art journey towards creating alpha demo and how we are moving forward to vertical slice. The moodboard created by Paula mixes the new ideas for our vertical slice and initial impressions.

So without further yapping , we just want to kickstart some art series posts and how we are getting to the vertical slice. You might as well get familiar with Paula’s art style since she will guide us through this journey.

🎬 #PSYCHOTA #DEVLOG
How We Built a Scalable Animation System in Godot 4
In this video, our gamedev Dima breaks down how we implemented and reused Animation Trees across multiple enemies in PSYCHOTA.

[FocoGos Studio @FocoGos]

You'll see how saving an Animation Tree as a resource lets you plug it into entirely new enemies in seconds, how we set up locomotion state machines with discrete idle/walk/run states, and how one-shot animations like hit reactions work at the root of the tree.

@80Level Though we find them cool, we don't think they fit PSYCHOTA and thus we concluded our shader experiments. After all, this kind of #techart is not our strongest side. Well, we still consider to use the 2nd, monochrome look in some game moments, let's see.

#PSYCHOTA #DEVLOG
We experimented with different #shaders for PSYCHOTA to find unique look for it. The biggest point of reference for us in this regard was #Sable, which captivated us at FocoGos with its simple beauty. Well, turned out this beauty is not simple at all…

[FocoGos Studio @FocoGos]

but luckily I found this article on @80Level that at least showed me where to start: https://t.co/ro37Fu8jPs

Also kinda reminds me of the night elves starting area from Classic WoW.

The purple fog in the Kelp Forest is just our pure creativity and playing around with textures (looks cool for me an Paula)

#EldenRing Underworld greatly influenced how we want our game to feel like while exploring locations and building an atmosphere.
The star field you see (built with #GPUParticles3D) brought us closer to what we want to achieve and player to experience.

I was super pleasantly surprised how easy it was to implement a state machine for my Enemy AI with gdscript! And it wasn't a throwaway prototype but a properly scalable solution on top of which I keep building now, adding combat, stealth and immersive idle behaviors into the mix

PSYCHOTA Devlog: Enemy AI
#godot #indiedev #prototype

Before going down stealth and combat rabbit holes I had to ensure that the base to build those systems on top is solid and it all starts with simple enemy movement (wander, patrol, move to, follow)

[FocoGos Studio @FocoGos]

Well, PSYCHOTA is made with Godot 4.6 and I am super happy with the engine! It might not have some nice out of the box stuff that Unreal may provide to you when it comes to first person games but you also don't get the unreal tax (which is oh so real)
