“Steam quietly welcomed one other indie sport this week, however this one is distinctly totally different for lots of causes,” writes Notebookcheck:
Dogwalk, which debuted on July 11, is the sort of quick, light expertise that nearly forces you to smile. Developed by Blender Studio, the sport introduces gamers to a beautiful winter panorama. You play as a cute, fluffy canine, with a small little one in tow…
What’s notably attention-grabbing right here is that Dogwalk is extra than simply one other charming indie venture. It is Blender Studio’s showcase for what’s potential utilizing totally open-source instruments. The complete venture — belongings, animations, and code — is made with Blender and the favored Godot Recreation Engine. In contrast to business giants akin to Unity or Unreal, Godot is totally open supply, that means it does not require builders to pay royalties or observe strict licensing agreements. This could make it nice for small studios and unbiased creators, because it lowers the entry barrier to sport creation.
Dogwalk is 100% free, which inserts neatly into its open-source philosophy
