Hi everyone! We've been off radar for a while, and for a good reason! Weāll tell you everything in the next article, but now all eyes are on the traditional mini-summary of what weāve done in recent weeks.
We improved the archer aiming UI, making it smoother and easier to control.
All NPC have important missions in our story. For example, a smuggler will improve the damage you deal to enemies in return for finding his dog.
We added a new scene in Barracks. A good fight is the best way to show off it!
Hey hey hey! We had a very busy and fun summer, and we hope you did too! Here it comes! Today we give you: NPCs, mystical and not so much, improved lighting, and interactions with the environment.
Our entire adventure on Ark is shrouded in secrets and mystery. You will come across the first one just after the tutorial. Check out the huge order-giving hologram! Sinister and impressive.
As you progress through the levels, you will meet other NPCs, uncover their mysteries, and complete their mission. Hereās a couple:
Weāre on our own mission, and it is to make the Ark levels look even cooler. We worked on the lights and color schemes of the Sewers and the City, so the atmosphere is simply wow!
It was so much fun that we decided to add interaction with objects. From now on, even if you donāt have anyone to kick their ass, you can always take it out on a flower bed :)
Hi all! This is our traditional mini-summary of what weāve done this month: added stuff, revamped stuff, overhauled stuff, one thing at a time!
Stores They received a lot of attention: new items, modifications, and other goodies. Pet mutants arenāt available yet, but thatās negotiable š
NPC Meet your new old friend. Concepts of the guard who lived (and geared up). Doesnāt he look handsome in red?
Resurrection We tweaked the logic of the resurrection of a killed partner. If the other hero died a glorious death on the battlefield next to you, the Last Breath mode is activated (itās a draft name, by the way). If you manage to kill all mutants in the room on your own, your partner will be so impressed that he or she will return to life without CPR.
Tutorial Fully overhauled. Itās aimed to make your character swifter, higher, stronger, and lethal, of course.
And now to some sightseeing. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and we know for a fact that you love our Sewers!
Sewers The Sewers went green! Itās the color of life, only the mutants are unaware of it: they will use every chance to take your life. And the life of your partner.
Lighting Did some magic with light sources, tinkered with this, tweaked that, enhanced something, dimmed somethingā¦ how do you find it?
Thatās all for today. Weāll see you soon, stay tuned!
Hi everyone! Today we give you new updates of Lost in Sky!
Character selection screen We implemented new looks of our characters and overhauled the character selection screen. We also added an option to choose keyboard or gamepad while playing in the coop mode.
A new NPC Meet the new NPC! Heās one of the best hackers in the world, but he will deny everything. Keeping things hidden is the best way to go on ARKā¦
But since weāve found him anyway, letās take a look at his humble abode. Hereās a concept of entrance doors. Itās simple but expressive.
And hereās the āabode.ā Humble, only bare necessities such is a laptop. Donāt tell anyone but we think that our own rooms were the source of inspiration š
Dialogue system We keep honing our dialogue system. Pop-up speech bubbles with charactersā avatars are laconic, readable, and compact.
We love doors!
Apart from modest doors of hackerās lair, these are monumental. Thereās no way for you to find something ordinary behind them.
Some action You donāt always have time to enjoy the graceful combat tango in the heat of the battle. Hereās a picture board of Royās polished and deadly movementsā¦
ā¦and see them in action! Float like a butterfly, crash like a brick!
Youāre probably still a little cautious about the year 2022. What challenges will it bring? Will it finally give us a break? In the meanwhile, weāre done relaxing. Picking up speed!
Thereās no time for a warm-up. Diving straight intoā¦
Sewers!
Just look at that! New enemies, throwing around leftover Christmas marshballows! Which name would you pick for them? Apart from the obvious Wastrel, of course.
And look at this place! Isnāt it cozy? Donāt you just love it? We hope you can really appreciate the beauty of sewers š
And back to sunshine. Enjoy the latest bright and juicy screenshots from other levels.
Casually updating UI typefaces, making them a better match for the game theme: strict, high-tech, and stylish.
Who is this cutie cute? Whoās a good boy? Whoās happy to see us? Itās one of our bosses! Come here, boy, we're gonna kill you.
Hi everyone! 2021 brought us lots of wonderful beginnings and even some achievements.
In this article, we'd like to cast your mind back to some great results, we achieved this year.
First and most important: we participated in Dev.Play and NYX Game Awards!
During Dev.Play our game was live-streamed and more than 3000 players got a chance to see the gameplay first!
At NYX Game Awards 2021 Lost in Sky won the golden awards in the categories PC Game - Indie Game and PC Game - Action Game.
Weāre very proud that our game has been appreciated, and weāre keeping it up! With all the victories, contests, and streams weāve had so much new energy that added a ton of new stuff.
New Character Look We announced Roy and Eileenās new looks a while ago. Now itās time to check them out in the game! How do you like them?
Cut Scenes If youāre following us on social media, you must have seen the new Lost in Sky trailer. If you arenāt, itās time to subscribe! :D
The trailer shows fine examples of future cut scenes in the game, among other things. Hereās one for you:
Coop Camera We tweaked it to improve interaction and your comfort during cooperative play. ā¢ The camera automatically zooms out when the distance between the characters increases. It zooms back in when the characters are closer; ā¢ If the characters are too far from each other (you donāt want that on the Ark, by the by), a small windows pops up if your partner dies.
Weapons A very quick overview of new types of weapons.
Grenades. High AOE damage, different effects on different types of grenades.
Arrow tips. Long range, different effects on different types of arrow tips, of course.
Map
As we are a classic case of a 2D action platformer, so the implementation of the most important metroidvania element was only a matter of time
The Rage Mode Itās not new, it has existed in the game for a long while. However weird it may sound, there was not enough rage in it. We tweaked it a bit, and the effect was astonishing: for a short period, the Rage kicks in, making the characters so strong that enemies simply blow up. Three marks on the Rage scale restore over time. The rest of it must earned in combat or found elsewhere.
Monster Buffing
By our GIFs, you might think that combat in Lost in Sky is all too easy. Trust us, this is far from being true. And to assure every headshaker here, we've added another "obstacle," namely, the monster buffing. This means that some monsters will come in packs accompanied by a pack boss, which grants protection to his minions. There's no point in attacking other monsters before you defeat the pack boss.
Thanks for following us! Stay tuned and Happy New Year! š
Itās been two long months since our last post, and weāve got gazillion news! First and foremost, we participated in Dev.Play and NYX Game Awards! It was really swell and exciting.
Lost in Sky won the golden awards in the categories PC Game - Indie Game and PC Game - Action Game.
And a handful of silver awards: PC Game - Best Visual Art PC Game - Best Art Direction PC Game - Best Animation PC Game - Best Gameplay PC Game - Platformer Game PC Game - Best Character Design
Weāre very proud that our game has been appreciated, and weāre keeping it up! With all the victories, contests, and streams weāve had so much new energy that added a ton of new stuff: overhauled the charactersā look, created new cut scenes, introduced a checkpoint room, and many other things. Letās take a look.
New Character Look
We announced Roy and Eileenās new looks a while ago. Now itās time to check them out in the game! Roy, the brave swordsman and Arcās invincible warrior:
Eileen, the graceful and deadly archer:
How do you like them?
Cut Scenes
If youāre following us on social media, you must have seen the new Lost in Sky trailer. If you arenāt, itās time to subscribe! :D
The trailer shows fine examples of future cut scenes in the game, among other things. Hereās one for you:
Pins on the Map
To make sure you donāt get lost, we dropped a handful of pins on the map, showing where the useful things are: elevators, exits to other levels, and so on.
The Converter
The electric converter feeds current to various devices, such as doors, platforms, elevators, etc. But it turned out that it has to be fed current before it can distribute it! What a surprise š and we surely have options to make it work.
The Checkpoint Room
We gladly give you the checkpoint room, where your characters will respawn after death. That's where you can take a breather after another bloodbath.
Screenshots! Screenshots!
Weāre publishing the new screenshots here instead of placing them at the end of the article, and weāre going to tell you why. Enjoy the grim Barracks where underground worms and exploding flyers are. Isnāt it the best location to shoot a horror movie?
