![]() ![]() In January 2014, as I was looking for underwater inspiration visuals, I found an image on google that caught my attention. By the end of 2013, the game was stable, I launched the Beta stage of the game, with a buying page on my website. Except from the music, I did everything myself. He was motivated by the project and helped me with his talent. He has some very interesting music vibes. I contacted an American friend, a musician called « Lapse ». In the end, Minecraft was the game that gave me the best inspiration, with the crafting system. ![]() I made many changes to find the good game design that would fit the game. I knew being underwater is always a terrible thing in video games, so I decided we would walk normally on the floor to avoid the feeling of being lost. In August 2013, I published FarSky in alpha release on the internet, for free. I wanted to go far on this project, so in February 2013, I left my job and began to work full time on it. I spent a lot of time upgrading my 3D engine. I started working on FarSky prototype as soon as I finished Overbind. I decided I would reproduce this underwater world when I get back home. During summer 2012, I went to Corsica and was amazed by the underwater life, all the colors, all the fish. I loved stories about people practicing freediving like « Loïc Leferme ». You can still find my old post here : įor years, my father talked to me about scuba diving, showing me his journeys. In 2011, on my spare time, I created my own 3D engine in Java and a game called Overbind, a portal-like game. I always loved programming and video games, mainly in Java at that time. I hope it can be interesting to some of you, this is the first time I am sharing my story. I am about to close the company, so I decided to give a postmortem, explaining the good and bad sides, and trying to be as sincere as possible. The company gave birth to 3 projects: FarSky, Sky Break, and The Free Ones. My name is Tim (aka Spekler), I am a French developer and the founder of the indie video game company Farsky Interactive. ![]()
