Project Ramsis is now released on itch.io, zigtrinity.itch.io/project-ramsis! Available for Web, Windows, Linux and Android.

This week's update: HUD polish. Lots of micro-interactions as the Knight takes damage and uses his potions.

The past week or so have been less flashy, more polish and research to bring the game together. Worked on optimization, camera reworking, VFX optimization. Added slash effects for Knight attacks. Added proper UI for the health bars, making them segmented.

This week was a quality of life update for the Android version: I added a virtual joystick for Android builds of the game (I will release APKs of the game on itch.io when I'm finished).

This week, I've added corruption visual effects to the knight after suffering from a finishing attack. Knight can now die, resetting the game.

This week, I work on optimization. Ramsis' draw calls have been cut by 85% and all VFX are now object pooled. Web performance should have much less lag/jitters.

This week, the opening cinematic has gotten it's magical visual effects and Ramsis received a new, cinematic finishing attack.

I will note that, sadly, the web version of the game is starting to have more noticeable lag/jitters due to the addition of the new VFX.

This week, the intro cinematic, Ramsis death cinematic and a loading screen (to fix the first-load stutter the VFX created) were among the primary updates to Project Ramsis.

This week includes a variety of updates. Basic main menu. Basic, skippable opening cinematic, new hit-sparks for wall splats, floor splats and sword hits, Knight's healing potions and two new reversal attacks for the Knight, which he starts doing more often as you execute him with your grab.

Last week, I worked on a lot more animations for the knight and how he interacts with Ramsis. Blocking, being hurt, escaping grabs, suffering damage, recovering and healing. The basics of the gameplay are finally all in place.

This week, I've touched up the lighting and started working on more juice for knockback effects. Along the way, I found this bug that I figured I'd share. It straight up turned my 3D knight, 2D!

This week, I worked on lighting, shaders, materials and environments. Worked on making the low-poly assets look smoother.

Status update, I haven't been able to meet my goal to finish the project by Halloween. Life happened, etc. However, progress has continued enough to show a playable pre-alpha: zigtrinity.com/games/projec.... I'm hoping to finish before June 2026.

Since April 2025, I've started a new project, aiming to release around Halloween 2025. The major goal of this project is to teach myself 3D Modeling, Rigging and Animation using Blender, importing the results into Godot and using it to create cinematics, including SFX and VFX.
