Chasing Dreams: The Birth of "Luthier"

Hey there, awesome people!

So, here’s the scoop: I was part of a small game studio with my friends, pouring my heart into a project for a year and a half. But then, life threw me a curveball in the form of some health issues, and I had to step back from that game. This twist of fate got me thinking – instead of jumping into another studio, why not chase my ultimate dream game?

Enter Luthier! 🎸

I had been tinkering with Luthier on weekends whenever I could steal some time, but you know how game development is – it’s all-consuming. The project we were working on back then took up about 70% of my life, so Luthier had to take a back seat. But for the past six months, I’ve been all-in on bringing my dream game to life.

Luthier is a love child of Brutal Legend, Hades, and Moonlighter. In this game, we dive into dungeons, battle Cursed Spirits, gather materials to craft guitars, and head back to our shop to create these bad boys. Each guitar we craft has unique abilities, and you can equip up to four different guitars at once. Oh, and every guitar comes with its own combat style!

Right now, I’m adding something I’m calling “Artifacts” – these are cool items you snag in dungeons that grant your character various abilities for that run. Exciting stuff, right?

Stay tuned for more updates on Luthier. If this sounds like your jam, keep following along!

Rock on! 🤘
