I started this project alone.
The road was rough — a lot of doubts, setbacks, and obstacles along the way.

Over time, the team grew, and I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built together.

Demo is live — link in the comments!!

Just enjoying the small things. Clearing my mind.

I generally enjoy working on data serialization, but gosh, serializing an entire storyline turned out to be such a pain. Glad it’s over :)

@Cluetube I feel like 8 legs moving simultanously is a big factor in it

[Jakub Hakiel | ADA: Tainted Soil @HazyGameDev]

While working on unsettling creatures, I always wonder what the most important feature is. What makes people hate spiders? Is it the erratic movement, the way their legs move, or something else? 🤔

[Jakub Hakiel | ADA: Tainted Soil @HazyGameDev]

@KainYusanagi Like small body and long legs connected to it? I think those spiders are creepier

[Jakub Hakiel | ADA: Tainted Soil @HazyGameDev]

Why would they leave it there? Environmental storytelling is such a great way to deepen the world.

Deep within the forests, there are places where sunlight rarely reaches. In the half-light, hidden from human sight, dwell creatures whose existence few still remember. What drives the people who worship them? That is a good question.

He speaks in riddles - always in riddles - and somehow, despite their madness, they remain your only explanation for what is unfolding around you."

"A sweet old lady… a bit eccentric, but she has always taken care of us. My grandmother is a treasure trove of knowledge! You just have to understand it, which isn’t always easy. My dad always used to say that Grandma remembers the beginnings of our caravan, but I find that hard to believe - she can’t even remember what she had for dinner yesterday. What I do know for sure is that it’s always worth going to my grandmother with your problems. Even if she doesn’t help, at least she won’t tell anyone - because she’ll forget!"

"Nothing sparks the imagination quite like the remnants of the ancient world. Places of worship, forgotten power, and the promise wealth draw followers in. When the real world is replaced by the mist of ritual, fanaticism emerges. Beware-there are no people more dangerous than believers who have nothing left to lose."

Excerpt from Great and Small Journeys, Alfred Mayborough.

Lore dump.

Crystals tempt many with their radiant glow. Unfortunately, some go too far, and the hope of wealth hidden within them drives them to madness.
The Collector has devoted his entire life to gathering them. A friendly figure asking for help - but can he truly be trusted?
