#devlog of the week! Check below! ⬇️ "Hey, Michael here from the Quorum development team. About the chancellor scene..." #indiedevhour #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev #retrogames #godot #indiestudio #farmingsim #fishingsim #lifesim #characterromance #callofelyndra We staged Vexaris’s arrival in a working farm village to make power feel personal. The palette is warm earth and worn wood, stalls, wagon ruts, low eaves, so his tall, blade-thin silhouette reads instantly as an intrusion. Environmental details do the storytelling: tight sightlines force a slow approach through the market, crowd props give him faces to menace, and the square’s open center becomes a stage for his “you work for me now” decree. The moment matters because it sets the contract with the player—this is oppression you can push back against. Production-wise, the scene was built with Dialogue Manager plus our in-house cutscene tools (shout-out to Kage and Lucas); after our move from RPG Maker MZ to Godot in Jan ’25, we trimmed 75–85% of the original dialogue and let blocking, timing, and camera do the heavy lifting. The fun: finding menace in small motions. The pain: every map art pass meant re-choreographing hits and eyelines, but it kept the scene razor sharp. If that resonates, wishlist Call of Elyndra on Steam and follow along because we’re just getting started.

Here's a #devlog for #callofelyndra ! #indiegame #indiedev #indiedevhour #adventureRPG #Steamgames #cozygames From Michael: My work billboarding in Godot "In Call of Elyndra, we pursued a clean HD-2D look (2D sprites staged inside a fully 3D world), by obsessing over how billboarding, scale, and camera language read moment-to-moment. We started with Godot’s Sprite3D billboarding and spent a lot of time iterating on zoom/FOV to keep silhouettes crisp and faces readable across wide shots and close-ups. The breakthrough came when we adopted a PhantomCamera add-on for precise shot control, then built our own per-shot “detail manipulation” tools: tiny, editor-side sliders for sprite depth offsets, per-sprite scale compensation, soft DOF toggles, and head-room/framing guides. These let us nudge characters into the best composition without breaking perspective or collision. For sequencing, we use DialogueManager (Nathan Hoad) not just for dialogue, but as a timeline of camera calls and staging cues—so every cutscene can push in, pan, or hold on a beat with the exact same tools we use for gameplay moments. The result is a stable, cinematic frame where 2D characters always feel anchored in the 3D space, and the camera feels like a storyteller.”
