Early yo-yo attack keys and expression sketch 🪀
How our hero’s attack starts on paper before animation. We’re aiming for a clear damage area so it’s obvious what the yo-yo will hit 💫

KU3 joined the Indie Game Showcase Meetup in Belgrade. This is a good chance to put an early #EtherealOdyssey build in players’ hands 🙌🏻🎮
And we get great response to the art and tone, plus actionable suggestions we’re already applying to clarity and pacing.
Thanks to the local indie community for the thoughtful feedback.

✨ From 2D to 3D
Our little hero just stepped out of the hand-drawn world as a 3D figure.
He feels more alive and playful - does he remind you of any cartoon character?

We start level art with a @Photoshop sketch, then bring it to life in UE5 🙌
Level art here means overpainting the level designer’s blockout. Love seeing the before and after 👀

🌀 Love discovering hidden paths and secrets?
That’s the magic at the heart of Shantae, Monster Boy and Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap — transformation lets you become something new to explore the world.
It’s not just a power-up — transformation opens fresh ways to move, fight, and interact.
That same heart beats in #EtherealOdyssey. Sometimes, to go further… you have to change🌙

✨ In Ethereal Odyssey, the first transformation we want to share is… the frog! 🐸
• Leap out of the water to reach hidden corners
• Swim freely through sunken dreams
• and discover gifts this form is still keeping secret
Playful, curious, and full of childlike wonder — every leap brings you closer to what’s hidden.

✨ The Story in the Title ✨
Some names come easily. Ours didn’t. It took weeks of sketches, brainstorming, and testing before two words finally felt just right.
🌙 One evokes fragile, dreamlike worlds, just out of reach.
🌌 The other carries the weight of a journey, full of challenges and growth.
Together, they became #EtherealOdyssey
Curious why these words were chosen — and what they reveal about the boy’s path and your own journey as a player?
