Thanks Virtual Nomad.

Sound and music will definetly be in there but no shadows.

I could ( technically ) do shadows but for this type of game genre ( endless runner meets fighting type ) I am OK with the current look ( not too realistic ) and don't want to add any more dev time ( taken a while already ! ) with fiddling with shadows etc. I will however love to put shadows in at some point ( depending on release figures ) and keep it in mind for future updates or versions.

There will be some particle looking FX in there but top of the dev list/design is how it feels and the tech tree story arch to the game etc.

is the game 2d? looks 3d to me but could be pre-rendered? if 3d, shadows should be simple but perhaps not the look you're going for and i can understand that

again, good luck. and, i'll be watching for more.

Yes, the main game is 3D animated models with one or two 2D sprites for FX etc.

The main characters started out as 2D animated sprites and that was how Animshed came about when I was creating the frames.

Hey, you have pipped my interest in shadows VN. I shall see how I get on with my other list of tasks to complete the game and whether I have some experimental time on my hands.
I think before shadows i want to have some more hit FX and the gameplay needs to be sound. But you have given me food for thought should I have time to play around with shadows.

I have setup Appkedo on Showcase a week ago but there seams to be a problem viewing the showcase and no update as to what is happening.
Therefore I have notified the release of Appkedo on the end of this post.
I hope this is permited for the forum.

Thank you to everyone on here that has help me finish and release this long term project that has taken over four years.

Thanks Virtual Nomad for the shiney new badge. Ooh, do I have to polish it every day!

Appkedo was a hard slog. With many dips and highs. Well, more dips acutually. But now I can relax a little ( working on the ASO marketing now ! ) now and get on with the other projects.
Hopefully not taking so long this time .lol

I did surprise my self on how much fun it actually feels like ( mainly in the later stages ) while playing it. Even though I thought I would be sick of it at the end. Not just saying that either.

Anyway, thanks again for your support and technical help now and again Virtual Nomad.

On with the next project now.

Thanks MucMac.

I used Blender for the 3D Animated characters and Affinity Photo for all the 2D sprites.

Plus, my own Sprite Animation Editor ( currently on Steam ) for AppGameKit called Animshed to help with the 2D animations.

Have a great creative day MucMac

Thanks smerf. Really appreciate it.

I was really happy with the end result as a playable game. That came a long way from the original idea.

It became a lot better playability wise and I was happy with it technically and graphically than when I originally started Appkedo four years ago. It was a dev. journey that I had to finish. But at first I didn't really have much faith in the product.

Yes, there is a vast room for improvement in the graphics and playability and I could add tonnes of stuff but I just had to get it out there before I went mentally insane on it and see how it does.

It may not be to everyone's taste ( we can not cater for all game players and genres anyway ) but one of the great things about us indie devs. is just go with the development cycle and see where it takes you. No publisher constraints. Appkedo is my game that I am proud off. With ( I think ) some things that I wanted to put in that I haven't seen before. Not just to make an easy game to fit into a ( crowded ) slot to make money.

Anyway.

Many lessons wwere learned on Appkedo ( not doing so many Blender anims. on my next game is one thing ) and so onto my Steam prison breakout game next.

Have a great Christmas smerf and all you creative peeps out there.
