I take a few minutes to come and say hello to my friends Reneuend and Vengeance (and everyone else!), I hope you're going well!
Please allow me to slip a word about my new project. I decided to take one month of my time to create a new game with Adventure Maker (yes, again!). It is currently in development.
After ASA and Myha created with AM, please welcome Boïnihi!
I plan to release it on itch.io in April or March. I will keep you updated for the Beta Tests.
Here a very good article by Adventure Gamers announcing my 3 new Black Cube games:

Now about Boïnihi:

Project history:
As explained on the official page of the game, after the release of Catyph in May 2016, I had decided to stop working on ambitious Myst games on my own, and thus for an indefinite period. I explained it in a long message to my followers (simply, I was exhausted). However I had left a door opened, and I said that I would sometimes work on shorter games in the Myst genre, for the fun. Just like I did in the past during the Myst Game Jam, which gave birth to Myha last year.
That is how I came to create Boïnihi: The K'I Codex. I took one month to create this 4th ASA-like in this series. Shorter, easier than the previous games, yet challenging enough and exotic: discover a new journey in a far away land!
The game:
Boïnihi is a First Person Adventure (ASA-like, or Myst-like) in 2D point and click (pre-rendered 3D) where you play in 360° panoramic views. It is being made with my usual tools (3dsmax and After Effects) and engine (Adventure Maker), but I wanted to take this opportunity to learn new techniques too, in order to slowly migrate to realtime 3D in the future. That is why some of the models in the game backgrounds could appear in lowpoly sometimes, even if I will try to make it not visible.
Story:
In 2062, the people of Terra discovered the Blue Matter System. With the help of this new technology, they decided to explore the galaxy in search for signs of intelligent life... One of these astronauts has been wandering through space during 4 years, and finally landed on a moon with no name, where a mysterious man used to live alone. Boïnihi was his name, and he was a solitary Talifan who had luckily survived to the terrible events of Day Zero, long, long ago...
Will you be able to translate the mysterious K'i manuscript? :study:
Key features:
- 4 different regions to explore, inspired by Asian countries and mythologies
- prerendered 3D graphics (2D, point and click) with 360° views
- 3+ hours of gameplay
- an original soundtrack by Yazorius
- the story of a Talifan survivor, who lived the events of 'Day 0' (see Anterran)
- a mysterious K'i codex to translate, inspired by the famous Voynich manuscript
- most pages of the codex, font and illustrations were created by hand with pencils and watercolor
- challenging logical puzzles, yet easier of access than my previous games in the series
Dev Team:
I will develop the game on my own as Simon Says: Play! as always.
Yazorius, who enjoyed my other Black Cube games, will work on the soundtrack.
