Hi Rob, I'm Roger from Regl Studios. The creator and developer behind Krampus is Home, Runaway Animals, and now Shadows of the Werewolf. I've been working in game development for 10 years and am excited to share some insights into my current project and development journey.
Shadows of the Werewolf, is an action/survival horror game that delves into the mysteries of the supernatural. The idea was born from a deep love of the survival horror genre, and noticing a scarcity of games where a werewolf plays the main antagonist. I aimed to create a game that offers a thrilling, cinematic experience filled with action and mystery.
I have been developing Shadows of the Werewolf for about two years, with increased dedication as we get close to the full release date. The journey has been a mix of struggle and joy, which is a natural part of the creative process I guess.
I chose the Unity engine for its features and flexibility, which have been crucial in managing the game's complexity and bringing it to life.
The biggest challenge has been experimenting with new features and trying to make everything work together. Although it has been difficult, the outcome is proving to be worth the effort.
Reach out to people and online resources to learn more; don't be afraid to showcase your game via screenshots, trailers, and demos way before release. You can gain valuable feedback, which is crucial for a successful launch. Also, know your audience and understand what they enjoy about the games they play, and try to incorporate those elements into your game project as much as possible.
In closing, I hope people enjoy both the demo and the full version of the game. A lot of passion has been put into this project. Thanks for the chance to be part of your developer diaries, and I look forward to seeing more from the GameDev Journey community!
-Roger
❤️
