Meet the Dev Team
Shattered Paradise is crafted by a small indie team.
Every system, line, sound and pixel is shaped by passion.
Javier Paradinas
Plays the bamboo flute and wants a Border Collie.
Javier runs the whole thing, juggling design, writing, and production. The team suspects he runs on Mango Locos.
Hayden Murray
Lives for over-complicated skill trees.
Hayden keeps the art direction sharp, revising palettes and pixels until they behave. Then he relaxes by designing skill trees that terrify the rest of us.
Lucas Melo
Cannot enjoy things normally.
Lucas dissects mechanics, workflows, and assumptions until they make sense.
Sterling Brownell
Working on an alt-rock album.
Sterling bounces between composing the soundtrack, recording violin lines in one take, and revisiting Halo campaigns like field studies.
Arthur Melo
Shares his home with a guinea pig named Wewi.
Artwa believes mechanics can carry more meaning than dialogue. Most days find him stress-testing.
Enes Gücük
Loves story games.
Enes draws fast, draws well, and refuses to work without eggs nearby. Most concept sheets have at least one yolk joke hidden somewhere.
Igor Ivanović
Loves retro games.
Igor models 3D scenes in full detail while listening to metal at unsafe volumes. Then he tweets about it like nothing happened.
Gareth Murden
Can bake a really good loaf of bread.
Gareth voices the game with a gravitas that makes every line feel important. Between takes, he produces bread.

Development Updates & Roadmap
March 2026 Build
This cycle focused on expanding core gameplay systems. World interaction, quest architecture and player progression moved from prototypes to functional frameworks while the interface and inventory received major usability improvements. The result is a build where exploration, narrative and item management now operate as integrated gameplay layers rather than isolated systems.
⚙ GAMEPLAY SYSTEMS
- ✅ Quest framework implemented

- Quest definitions now handled through structured JSON files
- Quest HUD added for active objective tracking
- ✅ Skill progression systems expanded
- Skill Book UI implemented
- Skill management integrated into the player interface
- Text / Lore window added for readable lore fragments and narrative texts
Knowledge-driven progression is now part of the core loop. Ancient texts and forbidden tomes function as both lore artifacts and gameplay systems.
🧭 EXPLORATION & WORLD INTERACTION
- ✅ Lantern equipment added
- Dynamic light source attached to the player
- Custom lantern shader implemented
