Devlog #3: The Challenges of Creating the Void – January 9th, 2025

Hi Gamers! Tina here—Social Media Expert and Host at RolldBox Games. Today, I’m chatting with Ferran, one of our Co-Founders, as well as the Game Designer and Creative Director of the studio at RolldBox Games 👋 We hope you had an amazing time this holiday season with the DEMO of [b][i]Masks of the Void[/i][/b]. In fact, we’ve got a really exciting milestone right now: [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45342879/8be28e5e0a86c7fd90038537a2542349d21b59f9.png[/img] Are you ready to take them on? [h2][b]Inside the Development Process[/b][/h2] We gave you a sneak peek at some Void creatures in the previous blog. What do you think? Now, let’s share a cool detail about their behavior. While developing the AI for this Void creature, one of the toughest challenges our programming team faced was the mechanic of attacking from below the ground. We had to make sure multiple animations didn't interrupt at key moments, like when it emerges from the ground to strike. The Void is a world like no other. It has power and influence over every other universe.

Given the powerful feeling of exploring the entire Void world, we had a particular vision of the Gothic world in mind. The transition from concept to modeling was key to properly scaling each element within the overall context. You’ll get the full experience in the product’s full version!

Have you figured out how it works yet? Each mask unlocks a different way to use telekinesis. Which one do you like the most? See you in the next Devlog with more and better!
