- The making of Leif's Key Art - 8 November 2024
Hello adventurers! We have updated the key art for Leif's Adventure and we want to take a second to show you some iterations that we went through before finally deciding on this beautiful piece of art. This design was made by Rocky Schouten. Our solo developer Roman's original work was the inspiration and Roman also helped polish the final version. There was a long process of making sketches, drafts and collecting feedback before reaching a final version that really captures the feeling and core elements of the game. We hope you agree that this key art does the game justice! We love it! Here are some older iterations and work-in-progress versions: We hope you enjoyed this glimpse behind the scenes. See you in the next post!
- Leif's Adventure's Weapon System - 6 November 2024
There are over 50 unique weapons in Leif’s Adventure: axes, swords, battle spears, hammers and clubs. There’s even a hammer with a pig mounted on top of it. Each weapon brings a unique advantage and some are infused with elemental power. There’s a lot to consider when picking a weapon to defeat the evils in the Netherworld. Let’s dive in! Damage System When equipping Leif with a weapon you should consider three aspects: damage value, durability and the type of damage the weapon deals. Some weapons deal a ton of damage, but are slow, or break after a short while. Balance the pros and cons of each weapon to suit your playstyle. Some weapons have "hidden" features. There are weapons that heal you with a certain probability. Some weapons create a projectile each time you complete a combo. Or even a weapon that is cursed, and damages you when you use, it until you have completed a certain qu…

- The World Of Leif's Adventure. - 4 March 2022
Hammerfall The world of Leif's Adventure offers a variety of characters, stories, and myths. Our tale begins in the tranquil northern village of Hammerfall. Leif has lived there for as long as he can remember with his brother Ragnar and his father Thorsen. Leif's mother died shortly after he was born, so he has no memory of her at all. The other inhabitants of Hammerfall are known for their rough-hewnness but also for their cordiality. They like to have parties in the local tavern, which can sometimes end in a brawl. But the next day at the latest, all the dust settles. If need be, Thorsen, as the head of the village, will take care that the disputes are put aside.

- 2021 - an honest review of the year by a game developer - 30 December 2021
2021 - A Review! A long time ago! When you're tackling a big project, such as writing a book, making a film, or, as in my case, developing a game, you can get overwhelmed by the complexity. This is especially the case in the field of computer games because you have to combine many disciplines such as graphics, music, programming, storytelling, and so on. I started with the project Leif's Adventure over six years ago. An unimaginably long time, in which I have to concentrate and motivate myself every day. In the first years, it was still very easy. The motivation was high and I didn't have to provide additional income because I had savings that I could invest. After that, the complexity increased year by year. Besides the development, I had to take care of work assignments to cover my personal and the costs of the project. I do not want to go into too much detail here, because it is prim…

- Gamedevelopment Update - 30 November 2021
Bossfight - a new challenge awaits you. https://i.postimg.cc/hjvK2HLq/Boss.png This month was all about creating the boss fight for the sulfite ground. Creating a boss enemy is always a fun process but also a bit taxing. The goal is to create a specific gameplay element that is different for each boss. As important is to use both characters' capabilities. Leif nor Ghost should be bored during the fight. Similar to the level I start with some rough ideas. Thereafter I block out the elements that are now to this boss enemy. To see if the ideas do work as planned. If this is successful the next step is to add the other attacks and movements. To see if all movements work together. During the whole process, a lot of playtesting is needed. I also make sure the art assets and animations do look good. And in the end, we hopefully have an engaging and challenging boss fight. Cutscenes - The stor…
