  2nd phase, Playtest

  Version 0.2: Major Update & Improvements Dear players! We are excited to share a comprehensive report on our progress throughout January and February. Following the initial playtest, our team focused on stability, visuals, balance, and quality of life — here is what has changed. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45537038/1ca5aa54e63d51d9e67aba58289a8990c56af885.png Critical Bug Fixes We have eliminated a number of serious issues that hindered a smooth gameplay experience: ● Fixed a critical bug causing the game to crash after upgrading legendary weapons or level 1 workbenches. ● Resolved an issue where platforms would disappear in key locations. ● Fixed an environment spawning bug where objects overlapped in dungeons. ● Resolved an issue with disappearing equipment pieces. ● Fixed instances where "ghost hits" from already defeated mobs would still deal damage. ● Resolved a bug where the tutorial (including the legendary weapon handout) failed to trigger upon starting a new game. ● Fixed a bug that caused total character action lockout, ensuring gameplay remains smooth during intense moments. Visual Improvements & VFX Thank you for your kind words regarding the atmosphere during the playtest! We’ve worked to make our visual identity even more polished: ● Reworked lighting for the Alchemist and the Nameless One. ● Added and tuned VFX for the legendary weapon window, including upgrade effects (we are still working on this; a full redesign of the dialogue section is coming soon). ● Implemented light and color correction for loot sprites. ● Fixed stone shaders. ● Updated UI particles, including social media elements and legendary weapon progression. ● Implemented new environment VFX. ● Added halo and wreath animations to the player model. ● Created 3D models for new mobs: Griffin, Skeleton, Ghoul, and an NPC — the Fire Nun. ● Improved animations: head and torso tracking (following the cursor) and a cat-petting animation. ● Enemies now dismember upon receiving massive damage.

  Devlog 1: Spark Ignited — Welcome to the Shattered Realms

  «Why make a game? Because I craved something brutally honest: a dark fantasy where every sword swing could be your last. Wishlist LOST REALMS and join my descent into madness.» ☠️ Who Am I & Why Should You Care? Let’s get this straight: I’m not a studio. I’m a guy who spent 2000+ hours in games like Darkest Dungeon and Escape from Tarkov, screaming at the screen: “What if we combined THIS with THAT?!”. This is LOST REALMS — my love letter to: The despair of permadeath (RIP, Stoneshard characters). The adrenaline of extraction shooters (but with swords, because guns are for cowards). Gothic architecture that makes you want to redecorate… in blood. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45537038/b308520ce0a4b4bb7010fa4b7163623f85d57fb8.png 🌑 The Pitch: “Dark Fantasy That Punishes Like a Jilted Lover” Imagine: You wake up on a floating island. The sky? Shattered. The gods? Rotting. Your mission? Scavenge ruins, fight horrors, and maybe make it back to your Sanctuary alive. Death is a Tax Collector — Lose everything but your grit (and trauma). Your Sanctuary is Your Soul — Rebuild it; unlock hybrid classes (Rogue-Mage-Necromancer? Go nuts). NPCs Will Betray You — That cheerful blacksmith? He’s 73% Redditor. 🔍 Peeking Behind the Curtain: What’s Done? The World: Veiled Woods — A forest so dense, even the shadows get lost. Drowned Citadel — Think "Atlantis meets Silent Hill" with ✨godrays✨. Ashen Wastes — Where sandstorms erase bones… and your progress. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45537038/c1705a0ed43f134f491ce0584953a495ccfa25e0.png The Combat: Weight Matters — Daggers = fast but weak, Greatswords = slow but "Oh gods, my spine!". Ranged Combat = Self-Harm — Powerful Shot? 100% eaten by wolves (balance!). Enemies (So Far): Skeletons that are made of bones. Yes, really. Wolves (awoooo) Spiders Ghoul The Warden of Roots — Feather-covered Menace (weakness: poetry readings). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45537038/c0298d177648bd1a4c4eb0b6946a90595f252719.png 🚧 Current State of the Madness Demo Target: soon (soon enou...
