Apologies for the lack of devlog updates since August, took some time for the SAGE demo and some breaks.

Anyway, have some moving platforms!

Guess which feature made its return from the first game?

That's right, hidden secret areas! But unlike Smitty 1, they are not on plain sight this time

Preparing the demo for the upcoming Sonic Amateur Games Expo this September, so everything has to work properly, including the title screen!

Wanted to do idle animations much earlier, but not feeling like it until now.

Anyway, here are the 2 animations I did for Smitty.

After some refinements and troubleshooting, I finally settled the dialog system straight from a blank canvas

And it works pretty flawlessly, thanks to Godot's label visibility features

Ah drats, forgot to post the updated moving platform video here

Made one of the major but optional collectibles in the game: Hostage capsules

You need 20 energy pellets to hack these and release the captured Dropple inside

Continuing from the last post, dialogs can now be triggered automatically on player contact and can even switch points of view to go along with certain dialog

Update on the capsules: They now show balloon popups of occasional call for help and the required number of pellets to break them open

If you've played Smitty's Journey, the jingle that plays should sound familiar to you

Working on the main menu took me quite a number of trial and error, but I managed to almost complete it

I also have been wanting a cut-out transition for a long while and I finally get to make one, huzzah
