- Guidus Zero Dev Sketch #04 - 2 October 2025
Hello, this is Guidus Zero.In this Dev Sketch, we’re taking you behind the scenes of the final boss that awaits in the deepest depths of the Abyss: Valtharos.Rather than just creating a boss that looks cool, we focused on designing an enemy you can genuinely feel—a presence that comes to life through gameplay. Here’s how we brought Valtharos into being.\1. The Initial Concept – A Striking SilhouetteFrom the start, Valtharos was meant to evoke fear and an overwhelming presence.Our goal during early design was to strike a balance between opposites—sleek yet weighty, fast yet grounded.The silhouette was refined to evoke a sense of threat, even without exaggeration, and all movements were made readable in combat.We initially considered attacks using its tail, but ultimately chose to focus on its long, threatening arms for clearer threat signaling.This primal visual cue proved more effective…

- Guidus Zero Dev Interview #03 - 19 September 2025
Hello, this is Guidus Zero!Welcome to our third Dev Interview!Today, we're diving into the behind-the-scenes story of how the controller system in Guidus Zero was designed."Can a keyboard and a controller—two so different—deliver the same fun and immersion?"That question has been one of the team's biggest and longest-running challenges.Rather than simply remapping buttons, we wanted to create an experience that feels smooth and consistent no matter what input device you use.Today, we're sharing the trial-and-error, key design decisions, and development journey that led to the current control system—straight from the dev team's perspective.How Did We Build That Controller Feel?🔵 Our top priority was to ensure a consistent control experience across devices.We wanted every player to feel the same responsiveness and rhythm—whether they were using a keyboard or a gamepad.To achieve this, we…
- Guidus Zero Dev Sketch #03 - 3 September 2025
Hello, this is Guidus Zero. 😊For this Dev Sketch, we’d like to share a topic that’s been front and center for the dev team lately: preparing for multi-platform support.Expanding to a new platform isn’t just about porting the game—it’s a process that forces us to reexamine familiar systems from a completely different perspective.From technical challenges to gameplay feel, we’ll walk you through what we’ve learned by taking on this challenge head-on.\Since the earliest planning stages of Guidus Zero, our goal was never to be locked into a single platform.We designed the game while keeping various devices and control styles in mind—because we wanted players to enjoy the experience in whichever environment felt most comfortable to them.1. A Simple Start, A Major ShiftThe original control system was extremely simple: Movement and attacks were both handled through a basic bump-based system.B…

Hello, this is Guidus Zero. 😊Today, we want to talk about the overall "feel" of the game.Things like movement and combat responsiveness may not be flashy, but they’re what shape the entire experience.Our recent Playtest focused on improving exactly that—the control feel—and it sparked many deep discussions within our dev team.In this Dev Sketch, we’ll be sharing a behind-the-scenes look at how the control system evolved into what it is now, and where it’s headed next.If you’ve played the test build and enjoyed it, we’d really appreciate a kind review.

- Guidus Zero Dev Team Interview #01 - 18 July 2025
Hello, this is Guidus Zero. Until now, we’ve mainly shared updates about game content and new features. But this time, we’re switching things up with something a bit more personal. We’re starting a new Dev Team Interview series to share the untold stories behind the game—what the dev team was thinking during development, the design choices behind certain systems, and everything in between. Our very first topic? One of the core systems that caught the attention of so many players: the combat system of Guidus Zero. Real-time grid-based combat has been one of our most experimental and carefully refined mechanics. In this interview, we’ll walk you through how it all began and how far it’s come. ****** How Was the Guidus Zero Combat System Created? Guidus Zero’s combat system is something you don’t see every day. It’s real-time, but instead of free movement, it’s built on a grid-based action…
- Guidus Zero Control Improvements Playtest Pre-Notice - 17 July 2025
Hello, this is Guidus Zero. Based on the valuable feedback many of you have shared across various channels, we’re currently working on a structural overhaul of the in-game control system. As mentioned in our previous Dev Note, Guidus Zero features a unique input method and movement system. While this approach offered a distinctive experience, some users felt that the control rhythm was awkward or that input timing felt delayed. We take this feedback seriously and are actively reviewing the entire control framework—from system mechanics to input processing—to deliver a more intuitive and fluid gameplay experience. Because control improvements affect the entire gameplay experience—not just numerical values—we believe internal testing alone isn’t enough to validate the changes fully. To address this, we’re preparing a special test build featuring the improved control system, and we’d like…
- Guidus Zero Dev Sketch #01 - 9 July 2025
Hello, this is Guidus Zero. 😊 Today, we'd like to share something a little different. Up until now, most of our updates have focused on in-game content or upcoming features; however, we thought it would be fun to start pulling back the curtain and showing you what goes on behind the scenes. That's why we're kicking off a brand-new series called the "Dev Sketch". Each month, we'll be sharing short stories from the dev side—whether it's the design process behind a character, ideas that shaped a system, or fun little behind-the-scenes moments we wanted to tell you about. And the very first feature? It's none other than our protagonist, Dalia. Dalia, our protagonist who has stood at the frontlines of countless battles in Guidus Zero, is on a quest to uncover the secrets behind the Scar. Today, we'd like to give you a glimpse into how she came to be. ✨ Interestingly, Dalia isn't an entirely…
