🥳Azaran: The Demon Bottle is now out on Steam! if you liked the Azaran64 demo, I think you’ll get a kick out of this lil side-project. it’s only short, but it’s crammed with as many cryptic puzzles and riddles as I could fit into 3 weeks of devtime. hope you enjoy!
🥳the Azaran demo has reached over 100 reviews in under a month! such an awesome milestone, thanks so much to everyone who's played and left a review🫶
I'm not worried in the slightest (Nintendo suing me would be huge and awesome) but your concern is heartwarming, thank you!! ♥️
Tachi Lax@tachilax.bsky.social · last yr.Even if Nintendo's in the absolute wrong for the reasons why they sued Palworld, they sadly won. I'd be very worried if I was the dev of Azaran. They could sue that easily. Also I better not learn later that this game reuses the decompiled OOT code, that would be absolutely scummy.
AZARAN: ISLANDS OF THE JINN (@BenjiGameDev) is for everyone who enjoyed N64's Ocarina Of Time... and I count myself amongst them. Retro visuals, classic gameplay, but then an additional spattering of new mechanics and puzzles make this an easy wishlist! store.steampowered.com/app/2994220/...

Azaran: Islands of Jinn is just Ocarina of Time, in the best of ways. The puzzles feel VERY. Zelda, so excited for this official release. But the end of that demo did me dirty, I need more 😂 Great job @benjigamedev.bsky.social can't wait for more #steamnextfest
The Azaran demo doesn't just look like N64 Zelda, it really nails the feeling of those classics! You should give it a try! @benjigamedev.bsky.social
My dream The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time successor is finally playable in Steam Next Fest, and I'm pleased to report it nails the Nintendo 64 vibes
Within minutes I had that classic Zelda N64 feeling when playing the Azaran: Islands of the Jinn demo – this 90s homage feels like a homecoming

it's time for #SteamNextFest !!! I'll be playing as many indie demos as I can, good luck to all my fellow devs!! oh and feel free to check out the new Azaran demo if ya fancy 😆
Had my eye on Azaran for a while now and it makes no bones about its influence (I wouldn't know anything about that). I think it is genuinely excellent and feels like a lost N64 project that was decompiled for 2025. Really recommend trying out the demo. store.steampowered.com/app/3769110/...
Played @benjigamedev.bsky.social’s #Azaran demo and I absolutely can’t wait for the full release. It nails the dungeon design and feels like an OoT-adjacent game while still feeling like its own thing. I’m pissed that I can’t play more! 😂 store.steampowered.com/app/2994220/...

should I implement fire-status and let Zayd burn to death? or would that be too much
If you ever feel like making another 2D Zelda-like list, check out mine (in my profile). It's been successfully Kickstarted, with lots of progress on the engine, assets and soundtrack since then. And I can I easily list you another 6 quality indiedevs to check out. More if you include 3d games.
environments in my game are all "unlit" - only Zayd's model responds to lights in the scene. The sides of the blocks are simply a darker material, the pit fades to black using vertex colors, and the glowing ring is just a material that ignores fog
We now have a Demo of the game, and a Kickstarter ready to go! The journey wasn't easy to get there, but they're here! Please help us fund the game while getting cool rewards! www.kickstarter.com/projects/837...

this all-surface super-magshot is really useful for testing stuff. shame it's too powerful and must remain a dev tool...
