    Hey everyone,

    My name is Antoine, I am a dev and I am currently working on my first indie 2D game made with Unity !

    Dolus is an introspective journey into the world of grief. You will have to find your way through the five stages of loss in this hand drawn adventure platformer.

    Hello World !

    I just finished creating a new monster with several bloom effects on only one emission map ! I made a video to show you how I created the shader. Hope it helps :)

    Thank you Dave ! Creepy is exactly the feeling that we want for the game :)

    For this week's update we finally have a monster to show you ! The Reaper himself !

    What do you think of the respawn animation ? I still have to fix a few light issues but it's already looking pretty good [​IMG]

    I updated the animation from our trap and added some lights. But most important of all, we now have a dangerous mystical shiny ball coming out of it ! Make sure to avoid it !

    Hi there! I'm trying to find it in the app store, but can't locate it. Is it the Dolus: Casual Survival Arcade?
