The Gameplay of Bukkaku

Finally, it's time for some new information about my ever-changing game project with the "interesting" name of Bukkaku. I finally decided to go 3D low poly in a way that makes a lot of sense to this concept from the start. In addition, I also work on the digital e-shop wauow.com and create an animated film Ynccuth. It is a never-ending project that is constantly changing and experimenting with the technical game system. This punk approach will of course also have an impact on the final product. Hope to see you sometime.

The maps are designed as a mixture of psychedelic and strongly abstract environments. You move around the map with the character and try to escape from the monsters. In the end, it's quite fun when nothing leads you astray. There will be no character or game settings. No clues or explanations. I hate endless explanations about the game and its name. Try to think with your head sometimes and engage or awaken your creative brain cells. I'll just leave it up to you. Make up your own mind. I will try to finish the playable prototype as soon as possible. I'll let you know what went wrong again and what's new. Thx. Off.

YNCCUTH

In progress. Animated horror film with fantasy and science fiction elements from RZE Studio. A film by Lukas Reznicek.

Peekaboo

Short animated movie from the Origami world of upcomming indie game Bukkaku. Telling the story of a short life of certain wood creature living in tough world, that after unexpected circumstaces discovers an enormous power inside him self. Live with Bugaboo his story full of terror and pain in magical surface of the Wood or in monster filled depths. "Bugaboo" is a cute creature with terrifying features resembling wraith or monster.

I was working for over a year on animation. Graphical elements are comming from origami polygonal style and since the begining of game creation i am constantly improving on it and shaping it to detail and more specific image. It is sharp origami angles combined with live colors of Maxican flavor. Short animated horror movie "Peekaboo" is actually supose to symbolize the playful side of the game. Significant part of the game is about hiding and searching.

Bukkaku in 3D

Nov 30, 2022

It's been a long time since I last reported. A lot of things have changed, so I'd like to update you on what's currently happening with the long-running Bukkaku project, the new Ynccuth movie, and graphic design projects. For the game's problematic project with the "controversial" title, I've been thinking about a total re-working of the game and graphic concept in the last few months. As a perpetually dissatisfied creator, I'd like to tighten the concept up even and define the final fixed points as my ever-changing final idea. For a long time now, this game prototype has been over my head with its ambitious goals. After all, I'm more of a graphic designer than a programmer. I have to say that programming this game is beyond me. For so many years, I've spent my spare time on this project alone, not only doing the graphics, but also programming functional levels, animations or game maps. Yes, it would take a change at last.

Problematic and lengthy process
The experimental game prototype of Bukkaku is a rather long and messy process. From the original naive idea in 2015 as a browser-based MMORPG, it progressed through various experiments with Top-Down view elements and a more action-oriented style to a horror isometric view with a survival story until it reached the 3D dimension in a more predatory colorful Origami "Low poly" design. My previous games have always had a clear vision from start to finish, but unfortunately with Bukkaku I'm still searching for it. This is due to the fact that I'm not happy with the ever-changing outcome, and I'm not sure if this chaotic process will have the outcome I'm hoping for. Hopefully this project can be woken up and completed successfully with a new member...

A dark cinematic story
I am currently working on my other very interesting project at the same time. It is an animated film called Ynccuth. It's still in development (and will be for a long time) and it's a horror movie with a darker stylization reminiscent of the world of Bukkaku. Just more grown up and thoughtful with a sci-fi vibe. I'm full of ideas on how to bring this dark yet enchanting fantasy world full of monsters and strong characters to life through storytelling.
