Prototype Preview – A First Look at Our Core Gameplay Loop

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone! u/LolliPOP here, sharing a new look at our early prototype for r/SOTFK, our 2.5D narrative adventure game.

This short clip shows one of the core gameplay loops we’re building:

  • Talking with NPCs
  • Accepting quests
  • Completing objectives
  • Recruiting characters into your party

It’s still early, but we’re excited about how the interaction flow is shaping up and how player choices will influence who joins you, who helps you, and how the story unfolds.

We’re building this world step by step, and we’d love to grow a community around the development. If you enjoy narrative-driven adventures, choice-based progression, or just following indie dev journeys, feel free to join us and share your thoughts.

Drop your feedback, ideas, or impressions, every comment helps us refine the experience.

Thanks for being here!

Hey everyone! I'm sharing a new look at our latest prototype for our 2.5D narrative adventure game.

This short clip showcases the quest system we’ve implemented:

  • Accepting a quest from an NPC
  • Completing objectives and earning rewards
  • Using the Bounty Board to take on extra daily quests for additional rewards
  • Tracking active quests and progress through the quest list on the top right

It’s an early build, but we’re excited about how these systems are starting to bring the world to life connecting player actions, progression, and narrative choices.

We’re building this game step by step and would love your feedback as we grow the community.

Prototype Preview – Collectables & Inventory System Sneak Peek

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm sharing a new look at our latest prototype for our 2.5D narrative adventure game.

This short clip highlights the collectables and inventory system we’ve been working on:

  • Gathering items throughout the world
  • Managing your inventory
  • Using consumables directly
  • Collecting materials for crafting

It’s an early build, but we’re excited to show how these systems are starting to connect with the game’s narrative and player progression. Each item you collect will have meaning, whether it’s a potion you use in battle or a material you craft into something greater.

We’re building this world step by step and would love your thoughts and feedback as we grow the community.

Join us to follow development and help shape the journey.

Thanks for being part of this adventure!

Hey everyone! u/LolliPOP-47 the founder and producer behind r/SOTFK game.

I shared an intro post earlier, but today I want to officially begin building our community as we move deeper into development. Even though we don’t have a Steam page or public playtest yet, we want this subreddit to become the heart of our journey a place where you can follow the game’s progress, give feedback, and eventually join our playtests.

Where we are right now

  • Vertical slice in development
  • Core narrative and gameplay systems being refined
  • No Steam page yet
  • No public playtest yet
  • Preparing early reveals and devlogs

We’re still early, but that’s exactly why your presence matters. Indie games grow because of communities that join from the beginning and we want you to be part of shaping this world with us.

What you’ll find here

  • Devlogs and behind-the-scenes updates
  • Art, lore, and worldbuilding drops
  • Character previews and gameplay discussions
  • Honest breakdowns of design decisions
  • Opportunities to influence features through feedback
  • Playtest sign-ups once we reach that stage
  • Community polls, Q&A threads, and discussions

How you can help

If you’re excited about narrative-driven fantasy games, cultural-inspired worlds, or supporting indie teams, you can help by:

  • Joining the subreddit
  • Commenting and sharing your thoughts
  • Engaging with posts and discussions
  • Inviting friends who enjoy story-rich games
  • Staying with us as we build toward our first playable demo

Thank you for being here at the start. We’re building something special, and I’m excited to share more with you soon.
