Hi! While nothing has happened with this yet, it's still a project I would like to make. I have a lot of stuff to eventually get back to, as I've been working on other projects such as Super Gear Quest (which was released on Steam a while ago, here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/545880/Super_Gear_Quest/).

If you're interested in what's specifically going on with Solarblade though, it's hard to explain, lol. Sol is very important to me, so games about him will happen, but its complicated. There was a lot I feel could be far better about Solarblade 3D, but you're right it was a cool demo and a decent start to something bigger. In a way it has been though, as it has lead me to other projects and more experience with 3D, and Solarblade 3D was a step towards some of that, since making games is a learning process.
But yeah, Solarblade in itself is more likely to be a 2D game with 3D elements, which you can see some of here: https://felixblobdev.itch.io/solarblade
Or alternatively, here as well: https://www.indiedb.com/games/solarblade

So I'd say the project is alive, but progress is slow. Solarblade 3D is also a project I would love to make still (as in, a fully 3D Solarblade), but I realized the scope was a bit too large for me at the time, so I'm starting with something simpler and trying to keep it small enough to be manageable. The current idea is that a fully 3D one could possibly be a sequel to the newer one I showed you, but that could obviously change.

Either way, I would still consider both versions of Solarblade to be legit projects I wish to get back to, but things take time. I'm still trying to release more games in general. If you wanna keep up with that, the Discord is always a possible place you can go as well (updates are slow but I try to keep it alive): https://discordapp.com/invite/blobgames
Anyways, with all that said, if you have any questions or anything, don't hesitate to ask. I'll be happy to answer if there's anything else you'd like to know!

(1 edit)

that is good to hear. the 2d version looks cool too, but this 3d demo scratches my itch for "real 3d zelda clone-ish" game.

and i totally get the "my aspirations outweighed my ambitions" thing. i have been there with my own projects and had to take serious steps back when i realized "i just can't do what i want to do yet. i gotta get better, so i will just do what i can and work towards my original vision in increments"

keep chugging along. i'll be following :)

Oh yeah I understand why the fully 3D one would scratch a different itch! I've wanted to make something a bit closer to Wind Waker since that's my favorite game, and the 2D one only does that partially. The 3D one is just different and neither really replaces the other, so ideally both would exist... Eventually, I hope.

But yeah thank you, I'm glad you understand! I always feel bad when I see my older work and how it still hasn't been completed, especially if there are people excited for those, haha. Feels bad to keep people waiting and not having those games be real quite yet. Even if the reality of it is that I have just worked on other things, and not specifically the one older project in question. I can't make all of my projects at once, but I wish I could lol.
What you said about increments and skill and such is also pretty accurate, so yeah I'm hoping that these projects will all get there with time.

Also I don't update here on itch too much, I don't use the site too much as it has fairly low visibility unfortunately, but yeah thank you for following as well. Fingers crossed for an update on some of these things eventually, here on Itch or otherwise!

wind waker is my favorite zelda game visually but twilight princess is my favorite gameplay wise. i dislike the ocean travel in wind waker.

if you dont update on itch much, where do you post your new stuff?

Fair enough, it's heavily improved upon in the remaster, and in stuff like randomizers. Easier to get through, lol.

Also I mentioned my Discord, which is one of the best ways to reach me or see updates as I'm there every day: https://discordapp.com/invite/blobgames
Another alternative would be Twitter, but it's not too special beyond the occasional post: https://twitter.com/FelixBlobDev

So in general, Discord is where I am the most, but it depends what you use and what you prefer!
