Master Key

Havenlocked is in the works!Earlier this month, I released the 1.0 version of Skigill. This means I am ready to fully focus on my next project, Havenlocked!It's the direct sequel to Master Key, and will feature mostly the same gameplay, but with an even greater focus on exploration and secrets.I announced Havenlocked more than a year ago, before starting Skigill. Since then, I spent most of my time with it on the level design, with placeholders and blocks. Game development is unpredictable, and I have been building it rather horizontally, so I do not have much to show yet.But I also practiced pixel art a bit! Check out this sample, I think you'll already be able to spot a difference compared to last year's.Unique featuresThe colors are not an update of the art style. In Havenlocked they will be part of the exploration and the gameplay. You will have to explore to conquer the world with colors! The more you explore, the more you will be able to spend time with them.In addition to the colors, the game will have a dual world system! Some dungeons, rather than being separate from the overworld like in Master Key and classic Zelda games, will be woven into the worlds, and

Hello, This week marks the first anniversary of Master Key's release. First, I want to thank all the players who played and loved Master Key. Thank you for your reception and support. If you don't already own the game, now is the best time to get it or gift it, with a 40% discount on all platforms! Some of you might be wondering what I have been up to this year. And I think it is the best opportunity for an announcement. Check out my most recent project: Skigill Skigill is a bullet-hell roguelike survivor with a huge skill tree! The controls are simple; Skigill only uses the directions and a button. Move around and dodge enemies while your character automatically deals with them with the weapons. Then collect the resources left by the enemies to power up and survive. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41738961/13b67fdaf3babfb0a7350ce2ca4975a1d1b27fe8.png The main particularity of Skigill is its skill tree. In Skigill, you power up by investing the resources in nodes of a huge skill tree spanning the entire battleground. This skill tree features stat bonus nodes, perks, and weapon loot nodes. This also means you will have to fight your way or hold your ground through enemies around a node

Earlier this year I released Master Key, and I really enjoyed my time making it! Thanks to your support and love for the game, but also because I wanted to explore other ideas, I could not resist the urge to work on another game. Havenlocked takes place on a paradise island, far from civilization and surrounded by ocean as far as the eye can see. Explore the island, its depths, and the sea, all filled with nature, puzzles, and strange monsters. Uncover secrets and escape! Havenlocked will focus on ideas not explored in Master Key, such as a twin world system, different themes, and a new style of dungeon design. It will also expand and improve upon the exploration, non-linear progression, secrets, and puzzling! Wishlist it on Steam: And support it on Kickstarter:

Hello, I received your feedback about the difficulty of Master Key. The previous difficulty modes were hidden as color palettes, I decided to move them to a dedicated slider alongside the music and SFX sliders. Along with this slider come two new difficulties, Very Easy and Very Hard: Very Easy: double damage, armor, long invincibility frames, boosted health regeneration, full health refill on respawn, and no enemy respawn! Easy: +1 damage, invincibility frames, boosted health regeneration. Normal: no modifier. Hard: more enemies, 1.5x damage taken. Very Hard: more enemies, 2x damage taken, no health regeneration. Select Normal if you want a difficulty close to the first Zelda games. Select Easy for an easier yet challenging experience closer to later Zelda games. Select Very Easy if you only want to explore and solve puzzles. Select Hard and Very Hard if you want an unfair and frustrating experience. Thanks for buying Master Key and have fun!
