Hi everyone,

For better quality, please view the video on YouTube.

Hi everyone,

Improved hawk transformation with Take off, Mid flight & Landing animations. 

For better quality video, please view the animation on YouTube.

Hi,

We have added Hawk transformation animation and 2nd enemy soldier this week. 

Please note that these are version 1.0 animations. They will be improved over time.

Thanks for reading.

Hi everyone,

Hawk flying animation is done this week. Also, posted a video tutorial of that animation on Youtube.

Yes, I too wondered why devlog created on my game page was not showing up in forum devlog. 

I agree with point no # 1. I even wondered why my devlog in game page was not shown in forum devlog and vice versa. They should link both of them, so that games get visibility in forum devlogs, when a developer posts devlog in his game page.

Also, in forum devlog, I'm not able to increase the game progress from 30% to 40% for my game "Thirayan". It looks like I need to create a new devlog, every time I want to increase game's progress in devlog. I couldn't find answer for this anywhere on internet.

Indeed. Possibly due to less gamers in India. That's changing now. Thank you!

Hi Everyone,

Created a hawk for our 2D action game Thirayan. 

Also, Krita speedpaint tutorial for beginners is posted on YouTube.

Thanks for reading. Cheers!

Hi Everyone,

Added version 1.0 of animations for Jump & Valari (secondary weapon - non returning Boomerang)

Added Hit effects for sword and valari

Improved Idle animation

In coming weeks, more interesting things will be done in animation, VFX and sounds.

I have created a hut on a hill for our game. Also, posted a painting tutorial for beginners on Youtube.

Created an Indian temple for our game. Since I couldn't find a tutorial for temple, I made and posted a tutorial for beginners on Youtube.

Indian Temple Speedpaint in Krita

Added Idle, Run & 3 Attack animations into game. As they are early versions, they will be improved over time.

Working on animations. So far, idle, run, 3 types of attacks are completed. I'll post the animation video, once they are added into game.

Built a farmland last week. It's not finished yet. Many improvements need to be done especially lighting & background.

Thanks for reading.

Hi Everyone,

We are working on this project "Thirayan" for the past 1 year. The story is set in India in 7th Century AD. Games based on India are very few. We want to tell a good story with beautiful art. Here is the first look Trailer.

Feel free to ask any questions and we're happy to answer.
