It’s always fun turning loved ones into game characters! This time, I used my brother as the reference for Cristian the Taverner—one of the warm (and slightly grumpy) faces you’ll meet at the local inn. More characters coming soon 👀 #GameDev #IndieGameDev #UE5 #CharacterDesign

In this quick peek, I’m testing the first animation layer for Lobo’s dialogue system: body animations. Next up: facial expressions and lipsync—I'm getting closer to fully immersive dialogue! #gamedev #indiegame #ue5

Facial expressions + lipsync layered over body animations — done in iClone & Unreal Engine. Using AI voice placeholders (for now!) #IndieGameDev #UnrealEngine #iClone #GameDev #LoboGame

Sneak peek at the new UI in Lobo: The Howl Within! Now featuring stylish location introductions when entering new areas + a work-in-progress minimap system to help you navigate the wilds. Built in Unreal Engine 💻 #GameDev #IndieDev #UnrealEngine #UIUX #LoboGame

Finally bringing the player character to life! I’m showcasing the first implementation of the actual character model, complete with clothes and gear using the inventory and equipment system. It’s exciting to see things coming together! #gamedev #indiegame #ue

Blocking out boundaries in my level design for Lobo: The Howl Within! 🌲 I built a custom PCG tool to quickly swap dense forest foliage between blockout and final meshes—this is super helpful for testing visuals. #UE5 #GameDev #IndieDev #PCG #LevelDesign

Clothing clipping? Fixed it. I built a system in Unreal Engine 5 that masks the body based on what gear you're wearing—no more clipping chaos. Modular characters, meet clean visuals. 👕🧍‍♂️✨ #UE5 #GameDev #IndieDev #ModularCharacters #TechArt

In the Dead Forest, you’ll need to light the lanterns to clear the fog... but be warned: the trees aren't the only things that are dead. #IndieDev #UnrealEngine #GameDev #PCG

Combat just got personal. Added attack animations and aggressive facial expressions to bring the heat to every fight. You’ll feel every swing. Are you ready to kick some ass? ⚔️🔥 #GameDev #UnrealEngine #IndieDev #CombatSystem #FacialAnimation #IndieGame #WIP #LoboTheHowlWithin

Combat isn't just about hitting hard—it's about how they react! Testing hit animations, pushback, camera shake, and sounds in a basic arena to focus on juicy feedback. If it works here, it'll shine with final assets! #GameDev #IndieDev #UE5 #CombatDesign #LoboTheHowlWithin

Facial expressions that hit hard! Added attack & reaction animations to make combat in Lobo: The Howl Within feel intense and immersive. Every strike, every wince—animated in Unreal Engine 5 + iClone. Let’s make every fight hurt 👊🔥 #UE5 #iClone #IndieDev #GameDev #Animation

Kick. Smash. Repeat. Enemies go flying—and so does everything else! Using Chaos Destruction + Physics in Unreal Engine for over-the-top, satisfying combat moments. So unrealistic… and SO fun. 😎 #indiegamedev #UE5 #GameDev #WIP #DestructionPhysics #LoboGame

Unleashing the hordes of The Fallen using Niagara in Unreal Engine. Creepy, chaotic, and deeply satisfying. Let the swarm begin. 🧟‍♂️✨ #UnrealEngine5 #IndieDev #GameDev #NiagaraFX #LoboTheHowlWithin #TheFallen #DarkFantasy #RPG

Disarm. Loot. Equip. Now in Lobo: The Howl Within, you can knock weapons out of your enemies' hands and use them as your own. Rough world, but hey—free gear. ⚔️ #IndieDev #GameDev #LoboTheHowlWithin #UE5 #CombatSystem #LootAndEquip

Need a break from the madness? 🔥🪑 Now in Lobo: The Howl Within, you can rest at campfires, chairs, or cozy beds to recover your vitals faster. Resting places are in—and they’re essential for survival. #UE5 #IndieGameDev #RPG #LoboTheHowlWithin #GameDev

Not every door in Lobo: The Howl Within is meant to be opened… Some require keys, quests, or ancient light-fueled lore. Others? They’re not keeping you out—they’re keeping something in. Here’s a look at the new door interaction system 👀🚪 #IndieDev #UnrealEngine #GameDev

Smart loading, zero immersion break. In Lobo: The Howl Within, I’m using narrow passage mechanics to stream levels seamlessly in and out—no loading screens, just smooth exploration. #GameDev #UnrealEngine5 #IndieDev #LoboGame #UE5 #SoloDev #LevelDesign

Maybe you think you’re escaping a horde of undead soldiers… But actually, I’m tricking you—using the chase to load everything behind that ruined wall. Game dev isn’t just about what players see—it's how you hide the seams. Steal the idea, not the mechanic. Make it your own.

Random death animations + ragdoll chaos = satisfying variety ⚔️💀 In Lobo: The Howl Within, no two enemy deaths feel the same—thanks to randomized anim montages and ragdoll physics. It’s messy. It’s fun. It’s game dev. #UE5 #GameDev #IndieGame #LoboGame
