Desabys Update #4 news

Desabys

Dusk Owl Studios | TBD

Desabys is a game where the player gets to control a character called Accius that can enter a phantom state, in which he leaves his body behind and controls his spirit, being able to possess inanimate objects. During the journey, Accius will interact with Npcs which have essentially given up. He helps them in various ways and understands what might happen to him if he quits. The objective of the game is to get back to his sister, to do so, he must constantly switch between their corporeal body and objects lying around this 17th Century European inspired dungeon. Boxes will be utilised to hold buttons down, levers will be pressed and lanterns will be used to solve implicit puzzles, revealing the path ahead. Accius, however, can only be within a certain range of his body, which will change as he discovers more of the dungeon.

Exciting news everyone! We have been hard at work this week and are ready to present our first public build, made for testing out our mechanics and for bug squashing purposes!

We have also been working a lot on the Game Design front! We made a new version of the map of Desabys (still a work in progress) and we even started filling it with some puzzles, Npcs and quest items.

As for the Art side of things, some colour studies were made regarding the first area of Desabys, the sewers. There were also some studies made for the logo of the game!
