When I go to bed I see deep red underwater ravines, and colorful floral forests. I then wake up and try to bring those worlds into reality.
How it started
Hi! I’m Petru, and I am the solo developer and creator of BaleYc Studios. As a kid, I loved going to aquariums and obsessed over sea creatures, especially deep-sea ones which I found really cool. My second obsession was making games. I suppose it was only natural and a matter of time till I would have worked on video games.
I first had the idea for INFLUXIS back in 2015, doodling and sketching various alien sea creatures in my notebook. It took me however 5 more years, till 2020, for me to decide to actually start making a game out of all these ideas.
develop the game with the player’s needs in mind. As I am writing this, the server has more than 380 members and is a vibrant tiny community of joy.
How it developed
It took me 4 months to create a quick prototype of the game, and so INFLUXIS Alpha 0.1 was born. It was bad, really bad, but somehow people did play it, and I learned from my mistakes, first of many to come. Next update was going to be called Crystal Wonders and was going to add the first deep biome: the crystal caverns: and it was out, and the game was a bit better, and my motivation and skillsets only improved from there, getting better with every update.
2 years into development, I decided I wanted to create a discord server for the game. That was one of the best decisions I ever made. It allowed me to directly communicate with players and like-minded individuals, share my progress and develop the game with the player’s needs in mind. As I am writing this, the server has more than 380 members and is a vibrant tiny community of joy.
Love what you’re doing, and you might see what heaven looks like.
