New here and new to ggmax. Bought the steam version and a bunch of dlc.

Anyway, this is what I'm working on. It started just as a stream of consciousness type thing, now it's taking form.

The current title is "The Castle"


The story is about a forgotten Castle on a forgotten island. The Castle itself is a hub to transport you to other mysterious forgotten worlds.

The task is to find the secret items in each world to return you to the Castle to unlock the mystery of the old island. There won't be much combat but there will be some. It's mostly a journey through different environments, each completely different.

I put together a short video of some of the main island. Didn't want to show too much yet. There is a sideshow at the end of the video with some screenshots.

Working on the first two of the four other worlds. Six worlds altogether including the Castle island itself. They are not going to be massive playable areas but tighter, stylized worlds with lots of little secrets.

I used 99% gameguru assets and 3 creative commons assets from Sketchfab
-Skid Steer by laser designs
-Excavator by Lassi Kaukonan
-Rope Bridge by atillakurt

Just wanted to say I'm having a blast with ggmax and I am really enjoying the weekly videos. Also all the information from forum members.

This looks amazing. It sets the mood and atmosphere and I feel like the lighting and art derection (from what little I can see at least ) are stunning. Great work, looking forward to seeing more.

Thanks for the reply. I tried to increase the brightness for a YouTube video(which play darker than original) but my video capture wasn't the best quality. OBS was having a hard time for some reason.

Not much going on in this forum, which is unfortunate. Having threads to post in are better for this kind of stuff. Are you in the discord server?

Wonderful work, it reminds me a bit of Dear Esther during the night. Keep it up
