I Massively Over-Engineered My Playable Raven Character | Devlog

Wishlist VELKYN on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2728320/VELKYN/ In this devlog, I show how I created the raven transformation for my open world indie game Velkyn. Inspired by Zelda and Soulslike games, the raven form lets you explore unreachable places and solve unique puzzles from the skies. If you're into Zelda-likes, exploration, or game dev, you're in the right place.
