One of the main pillars of our game are memorable moments - scenes that players will remember long after playing the game. Camera work and perspective shifts can really help in achieving that 💥

Dark Queen is a side-scroller and the majority of our view is from the side but we bring some cool camera work and perspective changes when we want to highlight something in the environment and create a memorable moment 🎥

The character of Dark Queen is based on a real historical figure - queen Barbara of Cilli 👸🏻

Dark and powerful, she remains a legendary figure in Croatia, where tales of her cruelty still echo, earning her the title Crna Kraljica (Dark Queen)

Improved character movement - previously we had just plain animations for core movement and our hero felt pretty stiff

After we implemented procedural animations it looks and feels much better - still a WIP though 🏃🏻
