Try and play 4 new game jam games made in 24 hours and look deeper into our daily routines. This week: Making the dev diary and our regular testing sessions. And since some people could only talk about the huge butt outside the Radir, we now gave the Horastes statue some clothes!

Have an inside look at our real life hack week and see some code from the pro!

• Our main dev Julian shows some code of how he implemented mass telekinesis. How do we manage to keep a clear line of sight? How does it work that rocks don't end up in front of each other?
  
• CALLING FOR REVIEWS: If you are playing and enjoying Son of Nor, please write a review of our game in the Son of Nor Steam Store Page, we would appreciate it very much!

We released a new update this weekend!

Most notable changes are a new puzzle in the fire temple, that completely replaces the assembly line puzzle. The path to the wind temple is now a totally revamped gameplay (no more following Noldric and the Shrouded Figure). There are new side quests in the edge and the world now feels much more alive with little animals appearing here and there. Finally you can also see who's talking in the subtitles. And of course maaany many bugfixes.

In this dev diary we show you how we are giving more life to the world of Noshrac. We also take a look at Tri through our Indie Corner section!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xfJvKeAycc

• We are starting to implement the animal system which will spawn random animals in the environment to give more life to the world and create more immersion.
  
• As always we are polishing our work. This time we show you how we are fixing animations that cause overlapping of clothing with the bodies of the playable characters.
  
• CALLING FOR REVIEWS: If you are playing and enjoying Son of Nor, please write a review of our game on the Son of Nor Steam Store Page, we would deeply appreciate it!
  
• Indie Corner: We take a look at Tri of Friendship and Madness. Pretty awesome game! If you like spacial puzzle games, you have to check this out
