- Rin's journey to Gold Master - 29 June 2023
We've been hard at work, refining and rectifying every minor detail in our game, as previously promised. As a result of our dedication, the game has now achieved Gold Master status. If you're wondering, 'Gold Master' is the version where all known issues have been resolved, and every feasible aspect has been polished to its peak. The next step? Porting Rin to consoles. Importantly, we've not only focused on quality-of-life improvements but have also managed to extend the gameplay time. Despite initially promising 8 hours, our meticulous polishing process has allowed us to safely increase this estimate to around 12 hours. This extension comes after considering all the elements - spells, spell upgrades, greater and lesser runes, and the minimum path to victory. As a result, we're thrilled to announce that a typical metroidvania fan will now be able to enjoy an additional 4 hours of gamepl…

In the previous part we discussed the design process. Today we will try to present this process more closely on the example of Shildar with more technical details. What happens after design? After the brainstorming and designing era, we had the final image of the monster. But Shildar still needed to be brought to life with some animation! We started with the animation process, for which we had to have suitable graphics. The entire Shildar art had to be properly cut and prepared for further editing. Animations We…

- RIN - Devlog #6: Monsters & Creation process - 18 July 2022
The bestiary presented in the previous Devlog is the final result of our concept work. However, before the final versions were made, we went through the entire process. Today, as announced, we will present to you the process of creating a monster with the example of one of them - Shildar. How were they made? As you already know, ideas appear at the beginning of the creation. Lots of ideas! Some turned out to be too difficult to implement, and some were less demanding. Flying, glowing, with the ability of teleportation... There were many ideas. We rejected some of them by the method of elimination and compromises. We focused on further implementation of ideas that suited the most to the overall concept of Rin's World, as well as those that were feasible for us. Shildar was supposed to be a monster requiring some tactics from the player during the fight. We wanted to make him immune to at…
- RIN - Devlog #5: Monsters - 1 July 2022
We told you about the vegetation found in various locations in the World of RIN, so we must also introduce you to the monsters walking around them! Monsters Let us show you the famous and well-known Slime. As befits, Slime is the most basic enemy that you can find during your adventure. It has the form of a worm, and it slowly crawls on the ground. Slime does not have any additional skills and is easy to defeat. Anyway, you definitely do not want to run into it. Watch out for the spikes! But they are not the only one popular creatures that can be found in our World. You will often encounter Mosquitoes while exploring - one of the flying-type monsters. Sometimes you will meet them on your way in the company of a hive as their spawner. Be careful! Especially when they are flying in groups. Although they do not have a lot of HP, they can sting you and tease you by flying past your ear all…

So far, we have told you in general about the game, the main character, and presented a plot. Today we want to show you a few things from ... Behind the Scenes To spice things up a bit, we decided to share with you some interesting facts about game development. In Devlog # 3, we introduced you to the world of Rin through the process of creating one of the locations available in the game. We want to dedicate this post to this topic as well, but this time we will focus on the details and production elements of our title. We hope you will like this insightful post as well. Many Things To Do As you know, a lot of things are needed to create a game. Programming, animations, graphics... but also planning and execution of these ideas. The more complicated the gameplay is, the more mini-projects there are. One overall game design can change up to hundreds, if not thousands, of successive minor…
