Heathen trailer work. Attempting to capture that 90s CGI vibe.

Pleased to announce the incredibly talented @grimalisk.bsky.social will be throwing their crusty gauntlet down to help shape the world of Heathen.

There was a distinct lack of birds in the town.

“I see the hatred in your eyes. I know the wound that drives you onward. But below this town lies no justice. Only madness.”

The eerie coastline of Saltgrave. I was inspired by Majula when working on this area.

First pass on the dungeon generator. We have empty square rooms!

Work on the dungeon generator begins. First step is creating a level blueprint editor to control flow and pacing. This idea is taken from how Enter The Gungeon generates its dungeons.

Spatial node system approach I have been using for many years (since The Fruit). It gives AI some guidance based on their ideal range, flanking desire, and line of sight requirements.
