What Lies Beneath on Greenlight

Hey guys !

I just submitted What Lies Beneath on Steam Greenlight.

Steam Greenlight is a service used by developers to get their games on Steam.

A little "Yes" doesn't cost you anything and will help me a lot, so get your mouse ready and go on the Greenlight page :

Of course, if the game gets on Steam but you already have bought it from another plateform, don't worry, you'll get a Steam key.

See you next time !

Song of the Myrne (and What Lies Beneath !): multiplayer

Hey everyone !

I started working on a multiplayer mode for Song of the Myrne and What Lies Beneath this weekend (basically because I was sick and unable to work on quests or anything that needs a functional brain^^).

Here's a little summary on the things I posted on the french version of the blog.

First of all, keep in mind that the multiplayer will work a little differently than the solo of the game, but it doesn't affect the singleplayer at all. So the controls, hotbar, interface, etc will stay unchanged on the solo.

• It will be local split-screen multiplayer

The gameplay will be similar to the one of my other game, Myrne 6312. You will be able to play up to four players in split-screen.

You will not be able to control your character with the mouse because that would be totally unbalanced if one player can do that and the others can't.

So there will not be interractions like crafting, inventory, levels up,... The multiplayer will definitely be turned toward action.

• Class based

Your class will affect which skills you have (probably 2 per class) and your stuff. I think you will still be able to choose your weapon but your stats will depend on your class.

Here's the first classes I'll be working on. I'll probably add more later.

Knight, mage, thief and archer

The hotbar will be shorter and locked (you can't change the items in it, they will depend on your class)

• Game modes ?

To begin, I'll only add basic Deathmatch. But I'll probably want to add more modes later. Some mini-scenarii in coop would be super awesome too.

Here's the first map I created.

• Available in SotM and WLB

The multiplayer mode will be available in Song of the Myrne once I'll finish it. But also on What Lies Beneath, for no extra charge of course.

It will also be playable on the demo of Song of the Myrne but with some limitations: less maps, no advanced classes, etc...

• Any release date ?

As usual, when it's done ;)

It's a lot of work but I'm making good progress and I should come up with a playable version soon. I don't want to give any date but maybe in one month or two. Don't trust me on this !

What Lies Beneath: hotfix

Hey everyone !

I discovered a very nasty bug that prevent all of you to go further after you defeat the lich.

I worked on a hotfix and on some other changes: item stacking in the inventory, rebuild of the archery system,...

I'm uploading all the updated versions, it will probably take a while.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your patience.

[Edit: Apparently it only occurs if you click on the stairs in the crypt, near the lich boss. Avoid clicking on it if you play before the patch is released.]

What Lies Beneath: The release date

Hey everyone !

This time I finally have a true release date for my little game: What Lies Beneath.

Again, I'm really sorry for all the "issues" I got (I didn't think it takes so much time to release a game, so it's totally my fault to tell you too soon :S)

But it's okay now. Still a very big week and you''l be able to wander in the Namok's dungeon.

You can already pre-order the game if it's your thing.


Don't hesitate to tell your friends about it !

And if you read all this and still have no idea of what SotM: What Lies Beneath is about, you'd better check out this trailer^^ :


See you next time ! Thanks for reading.

What Lies Beneath: soon...

Hey everyone !

I'm sure you're getting sick of reading that over and over again but the game will be released very soon, I promise.

I uploaded everything, I set a price and, well... everything is okay on my side I think. We'll just have to wait for Desura to make it available (a big thanks to them by the way, they really helped me a lot with the process of putting the game online).

Well... I'm happy for you and I'll let you finish... but, you said you set a price ?!

Yeah, unfortunately that's one thing that didn't go as intended, at all. The Pay What You Want formula isn't supported by Desura (someone on Reddit told me it was but apparently he was mistaken). PYW is not so perfect because of all the fees that come with payment (Paypal, credit cards,...). I guess the world isn't totally ready to use that awesome system for everything...

So I set the price at the minimum possible (1.99 euros) and it should be 2.49 dollars, more or less depending on where you live.

For the price of two beers you''l get the game and its OST ;)

I'm planning to make What Lies Beneath available in bundles to make the game affordable by as many people as possible.

And that's all for today, I'm heading to bed now, good day/night !

What Lies Beneath: Quick update on the situation and the trailer

Hey everyone !

I kinda fixed my connection issues (actually not at all, I made my uploads from another one :S) and could update the game. And.... surprise ! I even made a trailer for it.


With a working build and a video showing the game put online I was finally able to engage the discussion with Desura (I should probably have done that sooner, will keep that in mind for my next game release^^').

So the only thing to do now is to wait. You'll be able to play the game pretty soon I hope.

Oh ! As you can see I also made myself a logo. For those who are not familiar with Song of the Myrne (the big one, not WLB) this animal is called a boarlion.

Let me know what you think of that trailer and, if you like it, don't hesitate to share. It helps a lot.

Bye !
