Posted on May 30, 2023November 29, 2023 by Friedrich Hanisch

We attended the AMAZE two weeks ago and got some great feedback by people who play-tested the game during our 3 hours at the Open Screens.

Posted on February 10, 2023November 29, 2023 by Jana Reinhardt

It’s time for a new devlog! This time Friedrich and Jana talk about the atmospheric effects. Those are not just tools to let PATOU look nice, but also function as a symbol for memories – or in case of fog: forgetting things. Though, implementing fogs was a challenge. Why? Friedrich explains how the volumetric and…

In our third short episode of the Patou vlog we have a closer look at the portals in the world of the game. While their core functionality of transporting the protagonists from one place to the other is quite simple, the implementation can be quite tricky.
