Full Development began on September 2023 when this post was first shared last year.
My name is Kade and I am the solo developer behind Skywolf Game Studios. I am building a 3d Platformer called Barko & The Lost Bone powered by Unreal Engine 5 and Blender. The game follows a cartoony stylized appearance that pays is deeply inspired while paying homage to Courage the Cowardly Dog although the Dog itself was derived from my Chihuahua and my Late Bull Mastiff who always Bark at everything outside my house window hence the name BARKO.
PLOT: The story unfolds as Barko loses the one thing he cares about the most – his Dog Bone! One Day it suddenly goes missing and things begin to change in the world around him so it’s up to man’s best friend to find and fix it!
TOOLSET:
Blender 3.6 - 4.2
Unreal Engine 5
ENDGOAL: The endgoal here is to release my first ever Steam Game hopefully by the end of 2024 if not sooner while learning more about everything in between along the way to bring the game to life and eventually use this improved experience to finish my other Indie Games. (It is very likely this may be pushed to 2025 the latest so just a heads up.)

GAME INSPIRATION (My Barky Dogs Mainly CARLY at Top & KODA at Bottom) -Carly barks the most and I’ve had her since I met my wife as we got her back in 2011 which is around the time I got into 3d Modeling and learning to make games…
So, after I got Koda she started barking just as much no thanks to my other dog. Sadly, she’s no longer with me as she passed away in late July 2023 and she is a massive driving force for me to finish the game as I want to honor her memory. Not shown here, but she has a very large tongue that would usually hang out of her mouth, it made me laugh a lot of the time and she was always by my side. It is extremely likely that she will become a Statue, or a Character immortalized within the game itself.
There will be more updates to come! I plan to keep teasing a lot of this to continue to help motivate myself to finish the game before the end of 2024 if not sooner.
