Devlog #1 – Starting the Journey

🌀 Devlog #1 – Starting the Journey

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm Juan, a solo developer from Peru currently working on a new indie game called Chinkana (which means “labyrinth” in Quechua).

This is the beginning of a devlog series where I'll be sharing the progress, challenges, design decisions, and cool moments behind the scenes.

🎮 What's the Game About?

Chinkana is a puzzle-adventure game with a mysterious and atmospheric style, inspired by Inca architecture and legends. You play as an explorer trapped in an ancient labyrinth full of secrets, traps, and puzzles. The only way out is forward...

🧱 What I'm Working on Right Now

At the moment, I'm focusing on:

• Core movement system (4-direction isometric grid-based)

• Puzzle interactions (doors, levers, pressure plates)

• Level design for the first area

• Basic animations and character direction control

Here’s a quick sneak peek of the prototype in action:

💭 Why This Devlog?

I want to share this journey with you all, and hopefully get some feedback and suggestions as I build this world. Whether you're a developer, gamer, or just curious—feel free to leave a comment, idea, or even a "hi"! 🙂

Thanks for reading, and I’ll be back soon with more updates!
Let the journey through the Chinkana begin 🌿
